Moshiri

I suppose it just further cements Moshiri's position so if Usmanov wanted to invest further capital into our club, over and above training ground sponsorship, he can do so with a lot less governance now his mate holds a lot more influence.

His mate held all the influence needed to do whatever he wanted to.

it was only on paper that he didn't

Which is exactly my point.

Ah, sorry, it may have been the point you meant, but it wasn't the one you typed.

In terms of further investment from Usmanov, nothing has changed from yesterday. No less governence, no less hurdles to clear.
This is an excercise in dotting the i's and crossing the t's for banks.

Okay.

Why would Usmanov buy into a club only to have a minority stake?

Was just coming on to post this too

Don't worry, just post it in any old thread first

If he is to come in he will buy into the holding company. At least 50/50 but i imagine he will take the bigger share as he will be the principle owner/figurehead.

If he does come in via this route he'll want the authority to make decisions. He's spent a lot of time and money at Arsenal getting nowhere as he didn't have enough of a majority for this to happen.

If he, or Moshiri, want to deal with parties connected with Everton he'll want his board able to conduct that process unobstructed and as easily as possible, both on paper and in practice.

I say at least 50/50 as him and moshiri work together. I think that is what they had in the arsenal situation. He will have, on paper at least, joint control but in reality he will be the driving force. It would make more sense if it was 60/40 or more in favour of Usmanov seen as he will be the main investor.

Does any of this really matter ?
