Usmanov

[kev]

I am still hopeful that this may happen, but

The USM Finch Farm Traing Facility says he’s here
That’s a a fact , not something from the backreaches of your mind

This proves nothing.
Sportspesa is our main sponsor, does this prove that Ronald Karauri is planning a take over?

And you think a crowd of African and Bulgarian bookies were having a pint one night and decided to sponsor Everton

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but, I believe that African and Bulgarian bookies are regular visitors to Alisher Usmanov's yacht. (Make of that what you will.)

The middle ground here is that until there is something concrete we are all just speculating. The fact is though, he (or Moshiri) could easily have quashed this 100% by clearly stating it will never happen and his involvement will never go beyond advice and sponsorship. The fact that he keeps flirting with us with the odd comment here and there indicates that he may be open to some proper involvement with us if the time is right.

I don't buy into the "he's already here" or the "he's never coming here" because the truth is that none of us know and it's arrogant and churlish to present either of those views as factual at this stage. There is enough evidence to suggest he may be interested and enough reasons to think it will never happen; we just need to be patient and see what develops.

Be away with your sensible views.

Totally agree with all of this...

...so when is he gonna start the spending spree then

Indeed.

Sensible views on GOT, that’s nothing short of witchcraft.

He's already started!

Damnit!

Can't wait for next summer spending 700 million and still let DCL get a game.

 

[degsy]

The Megafon 250m sponsorship of the staff canteen would help a bit
It’s all about getting sponsorship and revenue in
Plus the owner can pay for a lot of non first team related activities without affecting FFP

There are more ways of investing than a blank cheque or a cling wrapped pallet load of readies.

 

[BigDuncFunk]

I think if anything it'll be naming rights sponsership or some form of finance in building the stadium.

Would love him to buy into Blue and White holdings however and invest silly money into us.

 

[havrey0123]

His 65, how long do people think he will stick around here.
Do people still think he will be here in his 70's.

 

[Number_25]

I don't want him anywhere near our club.

 

[allen]

I don't want him anywhere near our club.

He's already here. Whether directly or not, his money has bankrolled Moshiri's investment.

 

[davek]

Oh for the days of Blue Bill and Bobby Brown Shoes. Do you still have pictures of them by your bedside?

Yes.
