There are a lot of very good reasons why it may happen.

There is a lot of money to be made in the next number of years when you look at the developments that are proposed for the city. I think the Usmanov/Moshiri partnership would have an interest in this.

There is a long standing history of Usmanov and Moshiri working together on projects.

We know that one of his companies is already providing sponsorship to us.

Usmanov is snookered at Arsenal, does not have any influence and it would seem this is unlikely to change. We know that he could sell his shares to Kroenke in the morning if he wished and there probably are other buyers out there as well.

We know that Moshiri owns just under 50% of the club and we know the remaining shareholding can be bought after certain markers have been reached.

Practically unlimited sources of funds would help explain how we have so casually undertaken the hugely expensive sacking of two managers and the management team around them and at the same time spending huge amounts on player transfers.

Man Utd would of course be worried if another "big beast" appeared in the North West. City have certainly stolen some of the glory and a lot of the limelight from them, if there was yet another club rivalling both City and Utd for spending power and world wide profile then that would not be goods news. This would be true of any club and not just Everton.


This is not to suggest that it will happen , but to suggest it makes no sense and couldn't happen isn't true either.

Usmanov could sell his Arsenal shares and buy all but three or four clubs in the premiership if he wished, but very few of the others have the links direct and indirect that he has with Everton

Kroenke doesn't need to buy Usmanov's shares as he's in control anyway.
And the other issue is that who'd buy his shares, they provide no influence or control of Arsenal. And people who'd pay that sort of money would want some power in return.

Funny that one ITK says that Kenwright will bw gone by the end of march and another is saying Usmanov is coming this summer.

Hopefully its true this time around.

I think it gives some validity oddly. The reality is few will have any idea of if/when it happens including Usmanov himself as its dependant on him selling shares. If they all said the same day I'd sense it was coordinated or there was a fair bit of copying.

It looks as if there will be movement once the ground stuff starts moving forward. That makes a lot of sense. I suspect if he's not made moves to be here by next year it starts to look more unlikely (though not impossible).

It looks as though its all tied into having everything in place to start the new stadium.

Yeah is right...
I was there then and you couldn't move in that spring of 1970, for people crying in their Threllies, Bents and Higsons, bemoaning the fact that the last decade had all been a sham and meant nothing, because John Moores bought it all on a plate for us and the sooner he 'ked off the better.
Yeah mate, I remember it well
 

Always wanted Usmanov over Kroenke but he won't sell his shares the greedy b******. I don't want him to leave but if he does I'm glad he'd be joining Everton.

He doesn't care about profits or any of that he wants trophies and lots of them. It'll take a while to transition a la city but you'll get there. Knowing him though he'll probably appoint Wenger as your manager haha how would you feel ?

Anyway up the toffees from a fan of the club. I hope great things come to Everton and I get to drive up and watch a game.
 
Looks like you've all talked yourself into this over the last few pages. Careful what you wish for lids. People who have 'gained' such wealth as his do not live by 'our' rules. Think Abramovich on steroids, times fifty...
