I'm really not sure it's as simple as that mate.

In fact mate it's a very simple thing, usmanov always wanted a shiny premier league toy, this one comes with a new effectively free for him stadium and tied in with a massive and almost exclusive access to the entire Liverpool waters development.

Imagine if buying a club would have given access to the canary wharf development, smaller scale but what an attraction.

What would be of interest to him in the Liverpool waters project? Quite a few people have mentioned this, has he been involved with similar projects in the past?

Nope mate, which is why it's the type of project which would attract him, he has had his finger in many a 'new venture' in the past, and by and large has struck gold with them all, his step son has been involved in quite a few property and business developments though funded by dear old dad.

Simply put, he is a weird cookie, he loves sport and gives away a ridiculous amount of money to various foundations, massively into tech companies - whilst being involved hugely in the steel and mining trade, one look mat him can tell you how he likes to have the finger in a lot of pies ;)

But in essence he is someone who sees opportunities and takes them, Liverpool waters is a big one, and it also would give him a much higher international profile which in Russia = a degree of political protection - hence Abramovic and Chelsea in essence

Well he owns a major steel and concrete buisness
His mate bought the Liver building with Corestate a major property investment and property management company
All he has to do to make money is provide finance and employ experts to get it up and running and see it to conclusion
There is a lot of money to be made if it’s done right , look at London , Dublin, NYC
all major docklands developments.
The stadium could be the centrepiece and the catalyst for the whole area
Plus the IOM terminal and the new cruise line terminal will all bring buisness and footfall to the area
