You're seeing a hint there that I'm definitely not seeing... Unless you meant the "trusted advisors" comment? I don't think that had anything to do with Usmanov tbh...

Just because it was talking more about advisors on the football side. Felt like it was probably referring more to agents and the like.

Would make sense, that Kia guy who’s surname I’m not even gonna attempt is good mates with the Mosher

Very close friends.

He helped broker the deal for Iwobi.

It’s why we get rumoured with his players to help build interest.

Doubt it’s a healthy relationship for the club.

He’s had some stick old Farhad and he’ll probably be the first to admit, he’s made some bad decisions. However, with the signings of Allan and Rodriguez on the horizon, things look to be going in the right direction. We’ve now got a world class manager in charge and those persuasive discussions and a decent pay packet are helping us lure better players that a few years ago we could never attract. He should get some credit here.

I'm sure he is just as frustrated as us, he has seen a lot of money wasted and billionaires do not like losing money as much as people like to think they're happy giving it away, he won't be. However he chose to employ Carlo Ancelotti and therefore he has an obligation to get him the players he needs or what's the point.

The backing has been there just backed up with bad decisions. He'll leave us in far better position than when he came.

The fact he has kept the stadium project going or not tried to radically change the design and location in these turbulent times is more than enough reason to cut him some slack for any bad decisions. 95% of owners would have shelved the whole thing by now.

He needs to get rid of Kenwright. Can’t have people like him, who have bounced from one failure to the next, still holding high positions at the club if we want to change the club’s ethos.

Bill ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

Sadly that’s true but he definitely should be gone. The fella is 75 this week. If we’re serious about being a competitive outfit at the top of the Premier League, having someone with no experience of that is not beneficial to the club.
