Usmanov

Doesn't FFP only apply to clubs that are in European Competitions? If you wanted domestic domination there's nothing to stop you spending what you like.

That's news to me.

So let me get my head around this..

A new poster registers on an everton forum, posts that usmanov is close to taking over - then deletes his account? Not backed up by anyone respectable?

Great style of WUM in my opinion; just chucked the bait and legged it, not stayed around to get called out and trip himself/herself up by answering posts.

The account was deffo Usmanov just testing the waters then.

I for one welcome our new dodgy overlord.

Even if Usmanov does come on board, I don’t think it will be anything like Man City. Not because of the FFP blag excuse, but because Usmanov talks about making profits, whereas City are happy to make as big a loss as possible.

It's true I saw Usmonov and moshiri in Witherspoons on Lime St this morning, Usmonov had a full English with a sausage instead of mushrooms and Moshiri had eggs Benedict and chips washed down with a can of Dutch gold.

....Tubby Ashley like this

True but success for us will make a profit, even just a league cup

A league win would be nice, not the whole shabang like, just one game.

Well technically it's true. UEFA's FFP does not apply in the Premiership but to be successful you really need to be playing in UEFAs competitions.

Plus the PL has its own rules, but they’re related to wage bill escalation rather than profit/loss

Don’t hold your breath mate

Those who say he definitely is not coming know as much as those who say he definitely is.... which is nothing.

Remember that Alan Partridge episode where the tv programme commissioner was just about to sign off on one of Partidge's crackpot ideas for a new series ...and then keels over before signing it? That'd be us with Usmanov.

I wouldn't hold my breath...
I've got us getting only 1 more point this season (a 0-0 home draw vs Burnley).
