Usmanov

[4737carlin]

Some folk have raised concerns about how he made his money, I suppose there are a few ?s. But me could not give a toss, come to our club, fund BMD, Fund the transfers, you name it fund it.

Establish our club back as it was in the mid 80's.

I bet Abramovich has been into all kinds, when there are 90 thousand blues outside St Georges Hall in a year or so's time watching a bus drive along Lime Street, Niassie on top holding a trophy in the air, no one will care where the money came from

What annoys me when Everton we’re finishing 5th and 6th, it was referred to as the top 4. In recent years they have seen their beloved top 4, finish out of these places and it now referred to as the top 6. It seems to me there is something of an agenda against Everton in the media. They never seem to get credit they deserve. Take for instance the sacking of allardyce. Every football pundit and most national newspapers, were quick to criticise the club, as allardyce had ‘done his job in saving us from relegation’. Very few spoke out the dire football, the fragmented fanbase and his arrogance whilst in the job. The only way to make the critics eat their words is what we do on the pitch. Firstly we have to get things right off the pitch, before we do.

You wouldn't think it, but the top 6 bandwagon is only two years old now. And it arrived the first season AFTER Leicester City won the league, and Southampton finished 6th. And it was all mostly down to Manchester United finishing outside the top 4. Even the head of the Premier League said it was bad for the Premier League that Man Utd were doing bad. So they needed something.

Now pundits act like it's a ceiling that can't be broken. In reality they are all idiots. What's more annoying is fans repeating it. Especially two years ago when Everton were in the top 6 a few times, when they started talking about this so called top 6. But were totally ignored because it didn't fit the narrative.

What's happening here. Are things going too well lately. We are moving onto something new to be outraged and disappointed about.

Spot on.

2 of the TOP SIX have never won the PL.

1 of the TOP SIX have recent memories of fluking a Div 2 playoff final against Gillingham

Its a nonsense, and it isnt that difficult to fashion a narrative that makes all but City vulnerable to the football gods.

whatever the media think about the big 4 or big 6 will be out the window. Usmanov will take care of that. that is for sure

Anyone who made money out of Russia in the early 90's is a bit dodgy but they made the most of the Yeltsin era. Fair play when they came from the poverty of the Soviet Union. If it brings Everton success like it has Chelsea, I really don't care.

I'd personally send a copy of a photo of that image to Koeman, and say Oumar say up yours planet head

I heard he had a really big paper round and that's good enough for me.

If Usmanov comes we won’t even remember Niasse in a years time.

All Spurs have won since the PL start is the League Cup, even we have done better then that, but because they have had some world class players pass through the club and a nice new ground almost ready there a top club. Nonsense

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Hes already made an offer for the shares and Usmanov did the same.

Can’t find any info on that. So are these offers at a fixed share price?

Suppose we just have to wait & see.

Its a fun game to play. The fortunes of the Superduper Top 6 next season.

Dont think many would argue that City will be strong. Pains me to say, the loveables as well. (Unless FSG cash some chips in)

Arsenal? Maybe Arteta? Bad.

Spurs? Good WC for a few of their players lobs Levy into a hole. Pay them tons, (then others) or cash in. Stadium to pay for and all that.

United? Who knows. Will always be competitive, but out of the main prize for 6 years now.

Chelsea? Conte off it seems. Will they finally start to look at some of their decent youngsters, and stop hosing cash around? Ergo, play a longer game.

Not saying all of that ^^^will happen, but is not that hard to see some of it doing.

Kroenke offered to buy out Usmanovs shares, he refused, so Kroenke is under no obligation to offer to buy them again.
Usmanov offered to buy out Kroenke who refused, as is his right, so you have a perfect stalemate. There is no fixed price for the shares.
