They got a Russian oligarch/gangster with an Iranian accountant puppet frontman. 
 

 

 

 

Geopolitics…

 

The ownership of the club is not the club. We weren't Hicks and Gillett anymore than we are FSG. They're just the cunts who's money made it their turn. I'd be all for natural relegation for them but they're heading for way worse than that, this will Portsmouth on Steroids. Loads losing their jobs, a Valencia stadium rotting away for 50 years, its sad.

Royal Blue Mersey, another opportunity, paint it blue on matchdays similar to painting the Chicago river green on St Patricks.

Burnley and Luton both have a game in hand as their opening match was postponed - it is against each other so someone is getting some points there.

A £20m loan is no good for the stadium. They needed £250m to finish it. MSP provided a £100m loan, but that still leaves them £150m short and no prospective lenders on the horizon. The £20m sounds like its just to cover immediate expenses.

 

It is for a month of operating costs - allegedly.

[Anubis]

According to The Esk they were in arrears on the stadium build.

Hi Paul, last week you wrote the below, in respect of £100m from MSP. You say that it 'removes any threat of administration'. Please could you clarify what has changed in a week?

Yes, last week I was not aware of the extent of "arrears" we had with Laing in May when the loan first arrived. They had to be cleared thereby reducing the period the loan would cover costs over and above income

[Mudface]

Christ, they sound like payday loans, presumably with punishing rates of interest too.

From the senior club in the city to senior debt packages.

 

We don't know the meaning of losing.

I thought I'd enjoy this more but I can't. We are watching 130 years of history die before our eyes. It's sad that the people that run this sport allow criminals, scumbags and countries ruin football clubs.

With the amount of money that flows through the Premier League, it must be pretty difficult to get yourself into the situation they are apparently in, though.

 

There is a historical French club that goes near extinction almost every year nowadays, but thats just French Football. There isnt a lot of money and its the wild wild west in a lot of cases, in terms of ownership. 

 

With Everton being in this situation with all the revenue English clubs get just by existing in the Premier League, I dont think people really have to feel for them. 

[Anubis]

So it appears the MSP loan was to pay off the arrears to Laing O’Rourke, and they still have to find £250-300m to fund the remaining build? 
 

I’m not a betting man, but I’d put a few quid on 777 not having that sort of money.

[Anubis]

Ha ha ha. No.

It is one possibility. If they threaten the club with rent rises then as long as we have Goodison standing we have a choice. We could even groundshare with them lot and that gives us some bargaining power. 

That says it does depend on the contract to how well we are roped into said agreement but I'd hope there would be protective clauses in there from our end too.

I think you can feel sorry for some of the fans, not too many mind you. And you can despair at the state of the game that means historical old clubs can go out of existence due to shyster owners.

 

The reality is though that they are only in this position because Moshiri was spending/laundering Usmanov’s money. Everyone knew it, the majority of their fans luxuriated in it.

 

It’s no coincidence that as soon as they got investigated for breaching sanctions they all of a sudden were in this deep financial shit trying for emergency loans from dodgy dealers.

 

Moral of the story, maybe don’t deliberately and happily act as a front for a rapist gangster and you might be ok.

I just remember when Hicks and Gillett were running us into the ground. Got absolutely no sympathy from them and they were all rubbing their hands with the possibility of us going bust and them "taking back" Anfield to use as a car park. 

 

Then all the endless bragging about how rich they were when Moshiri bought them and heads falling off about the new stadium, building 3 stadiums in the city etc. They all knew that the money was coming from Usmanov but weren't interested because they could spend money on what they thought were decent players. Now they are the true victims of the war in Ukraine. 

 

Loads of them took an over active interest in our finances saying we were skint etc. Going on about non existent furloughed staff whilst they got £18m off the Covid business loan scheme (which presumably they arent going to repay) and getting money off the council for the clock tower in the dock and their training ground. "Your council tax is paying for our stadium". Thank fuck the council never loaned them any money when they were sniffing round it on the basis that the interest would generate money for the city.

 

 

All their bragging and laughing at any of our misfortune looks like it is going to bite them on the arse. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Hearing rumours that Seamus Coleman doesn’t really have a long term injury and they actually pawned him at Cash Converters but haven’t yet been able to raise the money to get him back.

Reminds me of that scene in Goodfellas where the restaurant owner asks Paulie to be a business partner and then he gets completely fucked over with their dodgy deals and ends up signing bankruptcy papers.

Cant see that at all. Our ours that expensive?

I’ve heard that prices will have to be renegotiated if they get relegated. That’s from a long standing season ticket holder who is generally pretty clued up on what’s going on there.

Yes. a guy on Twitter said he entered into a contract for three seats at £30k, three year contract, but with a PL clause in case they go down.
