Usmanov

[allen]

He'd probably get a game out wide if he does come.

He'll only get a game if he can play number 10.

Proper EVENING TOFFEES this post Bungs, sort it out.

Sorry fam, will go abuse @micknick in your new thread and try and put this right

I have said all along that I could see this happening.
Kronke wants rid of Usmanov and wants full control
Kronke is probably afraid that Usmanov will sell to the richest man in Africa ( name escapes me ) who has vowed to buy Arsenal outright.
The whole Liverpool Waters project and the new stadium are magnets for Usmanov and his buddies.
Usmanov Moshiri and Corestate will have corporate offices in the Liver building to oversee the works.
A brand new 61878 stadium needs a successful team to fill it and make money.
As a cornerstone of the docks development Everton have to be successful for the rest to make money

Hahaha thank you, I try to come up with something humorous with a lot of my posts and 9/10 they fall flat. Knowing our luck he will be just like Yarms and go to Dortmund

The Usmanov Question - why he won't be buying into Everton

The Premier League is real estate with a limited number of properties (clubs). Few investors can access this market, and most of the desirable properties have already been acquired. Clearly Usmanov is a big fan of the Premier League, has committed resources to it and wishes to increase that exposure. Similarly Moshiri is of the same opinion.

How do they both achieve their aims of increasing their investment exposure to the Premier League? Arguably a week ago the answer was to hope for Kroenke to sell his majority holding in Arsenal to Red and White Holdings, however given this is unlikely to happen in the near time, and the desire is to increase exposure now how do they achieve this?

Red and White holdings provides Usmanov and Moshiri with approximately £400 million worth of exposure to the Premier League between them. By Moshiri selling to Usmanov, Usmanov increases his exposure to £400 million. Moshiri in the meantime switches his exposure from Arsenal to a more risky but with higher growth potential investment in Everton.

Result - their combined exposure (I'm not saying they're working together, far from it, just from an asset allocation position) has increased by 50%, Usmanov now has a larger interest in his beloved Arsenal and Moshiri has a higher growth potential investment in Everton and he's running the show.

So, for Usmanov to buy Everton he would now have to sell his enlarged position in Arsenal, and reduce his exposure to the Premier League and Moshiri would lose control of his own football club, something we believe has been an ambition for a long time.

Goes back a lot longer then that - then again i'm probably not the best placed to be posting on this thread from previous fun and games.

Alright nerd.

Alright there, candy man.

All roads appear to lead to Usmanov leaving Arsenal and joining his bezzy at Everton. Moshiri and Usmanov had a clear mandate of running a successful football club together. Arsenal were the proposed 'vehicle' to make that happen. They have long realized that will not happen, hence Moshiri buying into Everton. I genuinely think it is only a matter of time before Usmanov joins his pal at Everton.
