Honestly, is there a reason to have an 807 page thread about a guy with no connection at all to the club?

I just don’t get it.

If he was involved with the club, why in the name of God would he have be all cloak and daggers about it? What’s the big secret?

Maddest thread in football
*says it again

If it were everday knowledge of an uber wealthy person's involvement in the club, what do you think that would do to transfer prices for every player we looked at.

If one is smarter in the head than one's ego, one don't go about flashing one's wealth.

It doesn't really work like that though does it?

Firstly clubs just ask extortionate prices that we can't afford anyway (see Zaha as an example) and secondly if you do splash the cash then clubs know you've got it anyway, even if they don't know where from.
 
He may not be officially involved but I'd imagine Usmanov has been pulling strings for a while now. Moshiri is a puppet man to play nice guy on dinner dates with Bill.

Carlo would have got backing from Ussy that money is there to spend in the next few windows, not just Moshiri money but Usmanov money.

Neither of these points invalidate the case that if you announce yourself as having one of the richest men in the world as your owner, that prices will go up

They don't invalidate it, no. They just make it rather irrelevant.

If you pay as much money out as we have recently then prices go up, because clubs know you've got money. They also know that you have to abide by FFP and still have players you want to get rid of, so there's a limit as to how much they can try to fleece you regardless of how rich you are.
 

I think this guy will be announced shortly after the planning goes in on Monday. He is definitely involved and I think he always has been maybe there was a cooling off period when he left arsenal
 
Is Usmanov doesn't have a connection with the club, there is no reason why he is meeting multiple managers, past and present.

It only makes sense if he has an interest or involvement. But yes, he's going to buy Newcastle or Charlton, or AC Milan, or never sell shares in Arsenal or whatever else.

Usmanov surely is financing us? And this “project”
