    We've got 2 months to prove this statement isn't true...

    Nothing that happens over the next two months will prove your assertion. We don't need a sugar daddy, just like we don't need a bunch of property developers sucking the lifeblood out of the Club.

    We had the resources to easily avoid the clusterfuck this Company has become, we just never had the ambition to realise our potential on the football pitch.

    Usmanov's bought another $1.5M worth of shares.

    Not sure what the point of that is, really.

    When you have $17 billion you don't need a point anymore.

    If he has 30% or more stake in the club, the board would be forced to turn over financial accounts to him if he so demanded. So far he has 29.9% or there abouts.

    If there werent allegations of corrupt business practices and the fact that hes a big blob of shite I would have no problems with him owning the club.

    I think hes a fan of football to be honest and its good to have owners like this as they always keep the interests of the fans in mind rather than having a group owning the company. It bothers me when people say "when the sugar daddy gets bored- insert team here- will be ruined. When has this ever happened?? These owners buy the clubs because they are fans of the sport not because they have tons of money and want to feck around with a professional football club.

    Mark Cuban who owns the NBA champions Dallas Mavericks is a good example of this. He did everything in his power to bring the fans a championships. He bought the Mavs because he was a genuine fan not because he had so much money that he needed hobby.

    Anyhow, thats my take on having a Sugar Daddy. Sadly for football its a game that relys on money to bring players in and out. They have created this with the rules they put in place. The sooner people realise the fact that this is how football is, the better.
