So Usmanov has told Stan to stick his 525 million apparently

[PSRB]

This is good , im led to believe?

I'm with Arseblog on this one, they're both purely in it for themselves.

At least, for the minute, Kroenke gives the club stability. God knows what Usmanov will do with it and whilst it's a little tempting to see if he'd come in and spend silly money, I suspect that as it's his money he might actually be a little reticent to pay £100m + for these players.

Dunno mate, 100m to him is relative chicken feed but he may get a metaphorical hard on (or a real one) from lording it at the top table of European football.

Oligarch wars as such.

Welcome Usmanov.

[IUFG]

Welcome Usmanov.

Indeed. All hail the dodgy-backgrounded, Oligarch

The entire club needs a stiff broom through it

Arseblog also spoke of the dangers of Stan owning the club outright. I understand this enables him to do all sorts of awful things to us. I wouldn't understand all this, but it sounds bad.
