@Juve Red,
To be completely honest, i was one of the biggest opposers to this Usmanov fella. I never thought he was sincere, and i still think its a pile of crap that he's a lifelong fan. But really after the past few years, when you come to think of it, this board has been one of the reasons for our downfall, i'm sick and fucking tired of them not providing the necessary funds. Because lets be honest, we aren't going to compete with the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea if we don't spend money and invest in proper players.
Now just of the top of my head, the players we sold over the past few years; Henry, Vieira, Cole, Hleb, Reyes etc have approximately brought us 70-80 Million. Now the players we bought ; Nasri, Rosicky, Arshavin, Sagna etc. I doubt those players cost us above 80M. So basically when you think of it, we haven't spent a penny on transfers the past few years. Now i know we built a new stadium and we have our debts. But i somehow doubt that the debts from the stadium could possibly cause us to not have a transfer budget without selling players(because thats whats been happening).
Now in a nutshell, the point i'm trying to make is, how bad can this fat fuck Usmanov be. He really can't do much worse than the current board (unless he does an Abramovic

).
