I know man :lol:

 

Let’s just be aware of how much satisfaction we get from owners of other clubs being sanctioned.

No satisfaction to be had anywhere here.

As much as we may dislike fans of other clubs, ultimately they are the same as us wanting their team to do well. We know as well as any of them that ultimately you can't choose who owns your club...

Unfortunately for Everton and Chelsea, their owners have been shown to be close allies of the man most likely to start the biggest conflict since 1945

Moshiri is Usmanov’s business partner.

I know. Just don’t know the facts about them, and I’m unsure how sanctions against Moshiris business partner would impact Everton, given Moshiri is a billionaire in his own right? Is he heavily involved in Russia?

I wasn't aware of Usmanov's links to Putin. I can only assume that the residents of GOT weren't either. What with them having explained to me that the only reasonable course of action (as a fan of a club bankrolled by despicable people) was to go and support your local pub team.

Always thought Moshiri’s wealth was a bit unclear. He’s a billionaire on paper but a lot is tied up in USM.

No billionaires wealth is clear

 

USually most of their wealth is tied into the companies that they own/founded. If Amazon suddenly disappeared tomorrow, I'd doubt Bezos would be classed as billionaire anymore, yes he'd still be massively wealthy, but he wouldn't be appearing at the top of any rich lists.

Most of the Western billionaires don't have mountains of physical cash available without dodgy share selling/swapping. To quote....'it's all wallpaper'

This again?

 

Yes we might have unsavoury owners, but they're not exactly pushing for World War III like Putin seems to be

Well apart from Yemen, that is. And blowing up the twin towers. And chopping up journos. Apart from that.

 

Lets just hope the gvt don't look into how Reuben snr got his roubles., either  :ructions:

I'm not so sure football authorities should be getting involved in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, given they've happily turned a blind eye to:

 

Saudi bombing Yemen 

The Israeli occupation of Palestine

The use of slaves in Qatar

Etc

 

They're all horrific, but they're picking and choosing which ones they penalise, ignore or reward.
