Thats why i said if he wanted too. I suppose he'd only do that if he knew he'd make a return on his investment.

He knows nothing about football, he controls the club as he has 62%, fact is he's not interested in getting involved or putting money in. There's a good reason PHW and co wanted him on board.

No one would just hand over 50m and say do whatever you want with it and I'll keep my nose out. Makes no business sense.

Usmanov isn't going to invest when he has no say over anything, why would he, it would be foolish to.

anyone do so.


Kroenke on the other hand has no excuse.

Well no Stan has already said he won't invest in the team etc till he has full controll and why should he just because he only the most shares means nout.

he'd want to know he had full controll before he made such commitments.

I doubt it, certainly not in our case. It'd be fairly obvious why we're suddenly posting losses! If we could get rid of a lot of the dross then it would free things up but how likely is that?

Other clubs like Citeh strangely are ok because they only need to show they're actually working their way to at least breaking even - look at Chelsea, their losses are still massive but they're smaller year-on-year; in our case we're a lot more hamstrung.

Lets not say its just the board wanted him majority of the fans did too and did the AST think he was the better option and i think they still do, None of the fans wanted the russian in as he seemed trustworthy.

IMO untill this thing is sorted this club will be a mess. Both don't want to sell their shares and neither will back down.

No.

We won't have the money - the oligarch will have the money and we'll just be passengers in an oligarch dick measuring competition.
