We need a sugar daddy to compete.

I still think its pretty scandelous that Usmanov isnt on the board tbh.

He is the second largest shareholder and has absolutely no say whatsoever.

He isn't wanted by any of the other shareholders, they have always made that clear. So if he doesn't like that, he can always sell up and fuck off.

Ok, but why?

Why is there any need for that stance/attitude towards him?

There is nothing really concrete about him, its all rumour, speculation and accusations.

Or do the board not want him there because he wants them to spend some money?

[Kano]

they can't stop dicks like dein selling out to him but they can keep as much distance as possible from these sort of allegations

the board do not take money out of the club through dividends as he wants and it would be stupid to risk getting caught up with the mess he could bring.

You would assume the board performed due dilligence, and really didn't like what they found.

First do some reading around, then decide whether you'd feel safe bending over in front of this man.

Not sure giving him a place on the board would be equivalent to 'bending over in front of' him.

Wouldn't want him in charge but don't see anything wrong with him getting a place on the board.

The fact that Usmanov is saying what just about every man and his dog are does not mean that this is not some cynical PR exercise by him.

It's funny how some seem to deny the obvious, that the board have made great personal gains from this policy (and they have, even if they don't get dividends then by share price alone), the lack of investment means they minimise the risk...if they truly wanted us to be successful on the football side they wouldn't have allowed the current policy to have lasted 6 years.

All we hear about is how the club is doing well financially, how share price is high, how 4th place is like a trophy and a wonderful achievement...stuff the fans don't really give a damn about or at least see as secondary to the on the pitch action.

More accusations, nothing fact at all.

Exactly, Usmanov is supposed to be the bad guy, and yet the board are virtually doing what people accuse him of wanting to do.
