Yes and delete that idiot Jim whites numberJust wish Usmanov would come on board officially, snatch the phone out of Moshiri's hand and stamp on it.

I wasn't making the claim, @MarcelsGoat was stating the carpetbagger had ploughed £250M into the squad. Proof would be most welcome....

Yes but under Moyes the key point was we pulled it back. That hasn’t happened under the present regime. Just a constant revolving door of players, managers and dreadful league form
Brilliant this, if he hadn’t had done an interview he’d be called out for not explaining his decision by the anti Moshiri fan base, yet he has, in great detail and said fan base is crying about it because they don’t like what he’s said
Fact is, the atmosphere, save for Martinez year 1, Koeman year one, the last few weeks of last season and the past 3 weeks, has been steadily toxic for 5 years now and can be quite off putting for people who just want a 2-3 hour break from the world and watch a game of football, because that’s all it is at the end of the day, a game
99.99% of fans are behind Ancelotti and we will stick with him. He gains immediate respect for who he is and what’s he’s done. Compare his accomplishments to anyone in the kenwright/moshiri era. Let’s hope he gets backed appropriately and the players play for himBecause the fans got behind both the team and manager in a united front, we saw in Koeman’s first season what happened, we had a dip, pulled together and the team finished 7th and got back into Europe, when it happened again the following season there was a great divide that Koeman couldn’t overcome and he was booted. Last season we had a horrific dip and people were knifing Silva in the back, we then showed what we could do to dangerous effect in that run against United, Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham and everyone was in great spirits again but again the dip happened and the knives came out and it was too much to overcome
What I’m saying is, we are probably going to have that dip again, either later in the season or at some point next, the knives will get sharpened yet again and there’ll be calls for the Don to be ousted but we need to stick together if that ends up being the case

What we will not have is the owner saying we are ungrateful - as far as I am concerned he is a temporary custodian of the club and we are it’s lifeblood.

While he gets us Mr Ancelotti as manager he can say what he likes. If he gets us a new stadium he can go around dishing left hooks out.99.99% of fans are behind Ancelotti and we will stick with him.

...and debt? He's loaned to the club and that is a different proposition. The club also have a £60M credit facility they use.Very easy, but what would be the point, I could spend the next 10 minutes getting all the figures for you in a nice little bundle and you would still dismiss them.
Its not even a matter of debate that has he has invested 250m into the club, outside of the 150m he spent on Shares.
If you want proof, its all here.

So The Esk has more than one account on here.Heres your proof.
This investment, as well as the operating performance described above, was funded by a combination of shareholder injections via an interest-free loan, which reached £150m in 2018, and new borrowings. In accordance with FRS 102, the shareholder loan from Bluesky Capital Limited has been accounted for as equity. Bluesky Limited continued to support the Club post-year end with an additional shareholder loan of £100m received post year end.

It's for the birds that this feller is out of pocket. Unreal that you'd think so.

Just got in a great manager and manages to sour the goodwill instantly by opening that stupid Iranian mouth of his.
