Interesting ...

[Dorset]

His time here has been wonderful imo, I'd be very sad to see him go.

Sadly KLD has become poison to some of the noisiest supporters who are campaigning to get him out ...

... he might see this as the easiest way out.

Biting the hand that feeds you springs to mind.

We are a world away from the state we were in when KLD bought into our club, so I have nothing but gratitude for what he has done.

The model would work with a bit more investment and a tweak over resale value of players. If indeed there is one

i think it would work aswell

 

[Smug in Boots]

Because of his connections to Putin.

Rybolovlev has always distanced himself from Putin et al. and also hasn't been sanctioned by the EU or US, as far as I'm aware. So that would likely allow him to purchase us.

Correct, not all Russians support the war and not all have been sanctioned.

 

[Confucius]

Do you think there may be something in this smug?

 

[Chunksafc]

He's sanctioned by the Ukrainian government apparently but not us or the USA

 

[Smug in Boots]

Do you think there may be something in this smug?

Hard to say and there's no suggestion in the French media.

But Rybolovlev seems the kind who wants more than just an easy life buying artworks, etc.

The chance of owning a PL club might interest him and he'll already know everything about the club.

There'd be nothing to stop him, legally or otherwise.

Saw Grumpy had posted that over the road. Not sure of the connection, though he does suggest buying Sartoris shares here

wouldnt the fail the ELF test as he Russian and there sanctions on Russia

Not all Russians are sanctioned though. He's anti Putin isn't he?

 

[Dave_39]

no idea if he anti Putin or not

 

[TopCat.]

I think Sartori wants out doesn't he?

Not convinced he has any money anyway

 

[Smug in Boots]

No, there's nothing to stop him.

Russians are still buying up chunks of London and living here.

Rybolovlev was in a similar situation, with Putin, as Boris Berezovsky ...

... virtual house arrest and unwelcome in Russia.

He’s a great custodian of our club, but as you say not perfect enough for some.

 

[Dave_39]

It works and is successful, may need the odd tweak but I don't think it needs or warrants completely binning off.

Most clubs are data driven these days anyway

it needs a tweak that allows some experience players too not just very young

 

[The Legendary Tongue]

I’m not itk by any means but according to my nest egg he’s ****in minted

 

[Brainy Dose]

That would make more sense

If you can make a grain of sense out of anything going on at the moment,you are indeed a wise, old philosopher!

Apart from the wise and philosopher bit, that is spot on

 

[Young Ted]

Fail the test after what’s going on with certain clubs across the leagues I think not
