How come Everton are above us? I demand a recount! :)

 

 

Could it be that their deal started a couple of years before ours at £5.3m pa when we were getting peanuts from our local sponsor?

No because it is based on our current sponsor.

Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov strikes multi-million pound deal to sponsor Everton's training ground

Arsenal's second biggest shareholder Alisher Usmanov has entered into a multi-million pound business partnership with Everton to sponsor the Merseyside club’s training ground.

 

USM Holdings, which Russian Billionaire Usmanov founded in 2012 alongside Everton’s major shareholder Farhad Moshiri, has announced the collaboration as part of a package of commercial deals worth up to £75 million. That figure will be inclusive of a separate new shirt sponsor to be identified in the coming weeks.

 

Everton’s training ground is to be rebranded USM Finch Farm, and the club says it will reap the significant rewards from a partnership with the Russian company that has an extensive portfolio in telecommunications and digital media.

 

Usmanov’s relationship with Moshiri is well established as the pair were part of the Red and White Holdings Group that now owns 30.4 per cent of Arsenal, the second biggest shareholder behind Stan Kroenke. Moshiri sold his share in Red and White Holdings to Usmanov upon completing his investment into Everton last February.

Moshiri has always insisted the financing of his move to Goodison Park was not bankrolled by his friend and business partner, but the move from USM solidifies Usmanov’s connection to the Merseyside club.

Fair play to Everton if that happens seems a bit weird that a share holder of one PL club is sponsoring another PL club.

 

Sounds like a scam to get around ffp to me !

yeah it seems that the two are business partners but the one with all the cash doesn't own anything at Everton and is just going to sponsor them instead deffo sounds like a FFP dodge.
