As long as he's got money and spends it on the best players available and not b listers like your beloved Cazorla, Giroud, Kos etc then that's all that matters
No, what really matters is how aware the general public in this country is of his criminal background. Or more accurately to what degree a corrupt media makes the public aware, or shields the facts. Some might have happily accepted Jimmy Saville as the owner of the club prior to media acknowledgement of what many already knew. Maybe if Saville was alive and had been jailed for six years and then pardoned by a crony friend who'd muscled his way into a position of authority some would still be okay accepting money from a serial paedophile (and worse). Unfortunately Usmanov is a considerable more shady character than Saville, fortunately (for him) the media is content to ignore his past.

Erm... Google?
Fat boy had his lengthy criminal record wiped away by his thug mate Karimov. The **** even hired a PR firm to wipe his record from Wikipedia. Even so, people such as Craig Murray (former ambassador to Uzbekistan IIRC) knew him well enough to spill the beans. Then there's the entire history of the Soviet collapse, the more recent oil shenanigans in Uzbekistan and a few notable murders and a rape thrown in last I heard. I haven't really been following this thug's activities of late but there was already enough to be going on with.
Look him up, see what sort of chap you are inviting into bed.
