Hey Ed these latest rumours surfacing today re Bill Kenright wants to bring Usmanov to Everton where upon Bill will step down and let him take his place to partner Mr Moshiri, any substance in this mate, i have a feeling this could be the real deal and the final piece of the jigsaw before the stadium takes shape, what a ride that would be.

{Ed002's Note - I thought this had been pretty much done to death. As of July 2019 Moshiri will own all but 23% of Everton shares, where would Usmanov's holding come from. The club has repeatedly said that this is Moshiri's baby and Usmanov has been looking closely at full takeovers of two Italian sides. I am not aware of anything happening in recent days to change that. Is this a new story or is it the same story that was thrown up a few weeks ago?}

I do believe its a don deal mate, just waiting for it to be made official.

Ed002, this is reportedly 'new' news with one particular paper throwing it out there again today.

{Ed002's Note - OK thanks.}

Regarding Usmanov coming its not old news this will obviously happen despite Kopites hateing the thought. Why would he go to the Italian league? There's no money in it for him. The prems the only place to be for someone like Usmanov (world coverage, advertising etc) He's actually said Everton aren't where they should be, why would he say that? He's said he's open to helping his friend Farhad. Tell me another club he's made several comments about.

You can't because he hasn't (apart from saying he's not interested) Sponsoring Finch Farm selling his shares in Arsenal wanting to get involved with a Prem team again. Moshiris business partner suddenly an expert in Everton's history. The clues are all there. Look at the change with 1 billionaire wait till we've got 2!

Him buying into the club doesn't change anything. We're moving forward just fine and whether he comes or not won't make a difference.

He'll probably help Moshiri in other ways but what I got from Usmanov in interviews was that it is Moshiri's baby and he would help him but not necessarily in buying into the club.

Without stirring up a hornets nest or seeming to be in the knowledge. I did read one comment by Ushmanov that seemed a little strange or could be deemed as a hint that he will become involved in some way. He was directly quoted as saying something along the lines of that now he was without a football club, he was going to try and help out his good friend Moshiri. Now that could be interpreted as meaning a few things, but I certainly see that it might mean an involvement in EFC because how else could he be "helping" his friend Moshiri without some financial involvement in EFC. We know he is already sponsoring Finch Farm. which is really just dipping his toe in the water. A statement like the one he made hints at bigger things to me. But maybe I am just being over wishful? He also made this statement after the Finch Farm agreement. so I guess we will know pretty soon if anything will develop and then at least ED002 can have a rest from answering all these questions.
