WhooHooo.....


That was one of the ways the Sheik pre-empted the Fair Play thingy at Citeh....naming rights etc

That was one of the issues when they signed the agreement with Etihad, it was so out there people knew it was a complete sham to get around FFP

Then big Us comes along

goes to show there are absolutely ZERO ITK's on here.

no-one had a clue about any of this.

Was that news to you?

I won't get too excited but it's certainly very a interesting development, to say the least.

The most significant things that Moshiri can offer us IMHO are his ability to get things done and crucially, his network of associates and contacts which surely must be extensive, Usmanov being such of course.

Fair play to him for leveraging this on our behalf. We will need all the help we can get, and all the nous and influence that will get doors opened for us and investment into the club.

This is an example of something that very clearly would not have had a hope in hell of coming to pass 12 months ago.

Hope it's Megafon or Metalloinvest for the shirt sponsorship now. SportPesa can have the sleeves if they like.

Unless I'm mistaken hugely mate, you also disagreed with me that usm would invest/sponsor the club when we where having a lot of debates over usmanov, and where quite adamant about that as well.

Usmanov will not have any involvement in the club was your stance I believe, as of today, he is involved now.

He quite clearly cannot be involved, it is against Premier League rules.

Still not confirmed lads.

Goodison is going to be a rocking

 

[fozzy]

Do you not think that these very powerful individuals have had very expensive and competant lawyers look into this for them ?

I was gonna say maybe finch farm is run as a separate company and that's how they have got round it.

But don't matter now.

Ethiad paid around 250m for naming rights to the stadium. The next highest bid was around 25m.

It's in the s*n

 

[Moomin]

It's a fake twitter story.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
