Bearing in mind that we havent won anything for 7 years and are going to be competing with the stinking rich Man City owners next season, I think its mad that this guy is still sidelined. What are we trying to prove? He is buying shares privately and is clearly desperate to have some sort of meaningful input yet the board continue to sideline him. And we continue to win fuck all.
korenke has money so we don't need the russian but Stan won't put the money in unless he has control of the club thats the problem.

Id not mind the russian if he could assure us he'd have whats best for the club in his intrests but i don't think he does.

The Russian since he has been at the club has had the chance to give us money for transfers etc if he wanted too. But he did not.
