Panorama to question ownership of Everton

[dholliday]

Him speaking from behind bars literally was not the best PR image for the club there.

lol

He handled the interview well enough though.

Moshiri handled panorama very well, gave nothing away that they could hang anything on.

He did give it away that it was a gift, even if he didn't explicitly admit to it.

As the paper trail appears to prove this also, the question is if the Prem/FA would consider this a breach of the 10% ownership rules, and if they do then what they would do about it.

Can't be having money from the capital being spent in the north.

No way.

They may find the Arteta money.

Where was Tom Watson and Panorama when Chris Matheson was asking the PL and Culture Secretly to investigate Green's background involvement in Everton?

Where were they when standard chartered got charged with money laundering for terrorists and drug cartels.... surely teams they sponsored have been recipients of proceeds of crime?

I think the recent Arsenal game should be replayed to remove any suggestion of collusion between the 2 teams. Not sure the result would be any different, though!!!

No way, Matt...worst-case scenario is Mosh & Usmanov get bans and the 49.9% would be fire-sold.

To whom tho?

That's what a fire-sale is mate...we don't know until someone buys.

Then we would be up sheehite creek!

 

[dholliday]

I think the Panorama episode can be dangerous of this gets political against Usmanov. He's in Putin's orbit and maybe that exposes him to scrutiny like this.

This is an important point we shouldn't lose sight of, we've already seen how anti-Putin the media have been over the last couple years and if they feel they can 'score a point' by going after Usmanov then this may get more traction than it deserves.

 

[EFCPaul]

This will come to nothing, just the BBC a

No way we’ll ever see Usmanov here after this

We'd never have seen him anyway, least not publicly.

Looks like the FA are saying everything necessary was done and almost exonerating us.
