Think that talk has stopped now. There a massive conspiracy keeping them from competing with the ‘Sky6’. The conspiracy runs deep, the officials, the Premier League, the media, the Tv companies, the ‘powers that be’. It’s a closed shop now. Even FFP was brought just to stop them. It’s corruption, pure & simple evidenced by a couple of bad decisions recently & the refusal by the ‘powers that be’ to investigate the RS and their use of PEDS because they bring in massive viewing figures. The Premier league won’t rest until they are relegated. Or something like that.

And Heysel.

 

Most of them have no idea about the Super League or what it meant. The majority of them believe we wanted fuck off the Premier League altogether and play games in Dubai or Singapore. When it was a replacement for the Champions League, hence why the Champions league was reformatted. 

 

They somehow likened their plight of being "Left behind" to Heysel in that they would be punished for something they had no involvement in. 

 

Yet all their fans know if Moshiri had pushed for them to be in it they would all be 100 per cent behind it. Its just that their fragile ego and inferiority complex came into play that they weren't involved and to make it even worse Liverpool were invited. If Liverpool weren't invited they would have laughed at us and there would be no outrage from them over the other clubs joining it.

Lapsed from Catholicism

Collapsed from wanking

 

Not sure what all these religion related stories are doing in this thread. Can we get back on topic to the point where all the wankers we speak of are the Bloos?

He's right though. They seem to be more arsed about being FC Class and Dignity making nice gestures just to go and brag about it. Like someone who films themselves buying a homeless person a meal or a hot drink (not like the team across the park).

I think that all depends. When uzmanov was getting sanctioned and it was hurting them, they weren't too arsed about class & dignity then. From what I can tell, the only time they're remotely arsed about it is when they sit there waiting for something to be outraged about then wank on to everyone about EITC .

You could choose to see it all as quite noble, but there's definitely an element of self-interest there. They've painted themselves into a parochial corner by lambasting the red shite for their multinational appeal - in stark contrast to Everton, the local club for local people - so they're left with little option but to root themselves firmly in the community while making a series of gestures that sell Everton as Corinthian guardians of the public spirit.

 

I think of them as an outreach programme that plays a bit of football on the side.

Oh fuck,

More pressure on Moshiri now. Wonder how much will have to be applied before he cuts his losses and fucks them off.

Everton-owner Moshiri holds largest stake in Royal Liver Building

 

Everton Football Club owner Farhad Moshiri holds the largest stake in Liverpool’s Royal Liver Building, which was put up for sale days after a longtime Russian associate of the British-Iranian businessman was hit with sanctions, according to a document seen by the Financial Times.

 

Moshiri, who is under growing scrutiny for his ties to billionaire oligarch Alisher Usmanov, owns 49.9 per cent of one of Britain’s most famous office buildings, which is on the market for only the second time in its more than 100-year history.

 

Real estate services company CBRE started marketing the property to potential buyers earlier this month for in excess of £90mn, acting for a group of investors that acquired it for £48mn in 2017.

 

While property investment group Corestate Capital fronted that acquisition, the Luxembourg-based company’s accounts show it only has a 35 per cent stake in the Royal Liver Building. Another document seen by the FT breaking down the building’s ownership structure details the size of Moshiri’s stake.

 

A group of unnamed “international” investors are the other owners.

 

Shortly after the 2017 acquisition, Moshiri told the Liverpool Echo that he had beenpart of the consortium that had bought the property, but it has not previously been reported that the British-Iranian businessman holds the largest stake in the Grade 1 listed building.

 

When CBRE announced the sale on March 15, it said it was marketing the building “on behalf of current owners, Corestate Capital”.

 

Corestate told the FT it was unable comment on the building’s ownership structure, but said that it made the decision to sell the building in October 2021.

 

“The fact that the sale of the building is now taking place is due to favourable market conditions,” Corestate added. “These have not been present in recent years predominantly driven by Covid and Brexit. The building has undergone an extensive refurbishment programme over the past five years and is now let to several major Liverpool companies.”

 

A spokesman for Moshiri said that “Corestate took the view that now is the right time to sell and made that recommendation to all investors”. He added that the businessman had not ruled out buying the other 50.1 per cent stake in the Liver Building.

 

CBRE declined to comment.

 

The lack of public disclosure on the size of Moshiri’s stake in the building highlights the opacity of the Britain’s property market, which the government is looking to address with a new register of beneficial owners. Filings at the UK’s Land Registry only show that the Royal Liver Building is owned by a Guernsey company that was incorporated by Corestate Capital.

 

Moshiri is a longtime business partner of Usmanov, whom the UK government imposed sanctions on on March 3. Thisdented the finances of Everton, as the Liverpool club had to suspend sponsorship deals with companies connected to the oligarch.

 

Everton is one of the Royal Liver Building’s tenants, with sales documents sent to prospective buyers showing that the club accounts for 14 per cent of the building’s letting income. Moshiri, who is shareholder of Usmanov’s USM Holdings and was previously its chair, owns more than 94 per cent of the Premier League side’s equity.

 

The BBC reported this week that Moshiri has ties to several offshore trusts that own British properties connected to Usmanov. Moshiri’s spokesperson told the BBC that he was no longer a director of one of the trusts and had never been involved in the management or control of another. 

 

Designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas, the Royal Liver Building was the tallest office building in Europe when it opened in 1911, as the headquarters of the Royal Liver insurance group. The 322ft-high building dominates the Mersey waterfront and is best known for its two Liver Bird sculptures, which sit at the top of its clocktowers and a version of which appears on Liverpool Football Club’s crest.

 

Moshiri owns his stake in the building through a company called Rising Waves Limited, which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands a month before the 2017 acquisition.
