USAMNOV'S MONEY

[jelgoon]

Look, as I said, I dont like the guy like I dont like any of the Oligarchs. I also dont like the Glazers much or the owners of Man City. But we are competing against these guys. We have one of the richest men in the world who owns a third of our shares who we are totally igonoring. AND WE NEVER WIN ANYTHING

[GP]

Oh right, like the stinking rich owners of clubs across Europe arent gangsters?

Of course they are.

I don't want any part of that.

Problem is the current board are more interested in lining their own pockets than having a successful team, he has so much money that this wouldn't be an issue, just like it isn't for the Russian down the road (incidentally I haven't seen him disappear into the sunset as many claimed he would do many years ago).

The sooner we get rid of PHW the better, the guy and his cronies are dragging us down.

Well it probably isn't going to happen now, not with the threat of FFP (whether it turns out to be real or not is moot). If it ever did, it's not going to be reckless spending, without selling.

I think there will be ways round that, the clubs will get creative and find loopholes...we have missed the boat somewhat but I don't see the merits of keeping the board we have who have not only shown immense greed but also proved they don't give a damn what the fans think or say.

I know the guy is probably not particularly pleasant and I have got no time for the oligarchs and the way they got their wealth in Russia. However the fact is that the guy, according to the Sunday Times Rich List, is richer than Abromovich and in the top five in the UK. 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.

Eh? He's not going to give us money without a controlling interest in the club.

Kroenke is majority shareholder with 62%, if he was going to invest he would have by now, the guy isn't interested he's a business man interested in making money from his investment without pumping money in.

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

Pretty much, why would anyone do so.

Kroenke on the other hand has no excuse.

Get rid of PHW and co and bring him in, we might have some money to spend on some decent players at long last then. The current bunch are dinosaurs without a clue on how to run a successful club on the pitch, all they care about is money.

No Just get rid of PHW and co and let stan run the club his way with his rules.
