« Alisher Usmanov, potential Arsenal chairman, is a Vicious Thug, Criminal, Racketeer, Heroin Trafficker and Accused Rapist | Main | Standing by? »

Arsenal

I have been delighted by the reaction of Arsenal fans - the large majority seem not to want Usmanov's money, and juging by yesterday's performance they don't need it.

I am most happy to give evidence to the Premier League if anyone can point me in the right direction. But I rather hope Usmanov's hyperactive and expensive lawyers will sue me for libel. Questioning Usmanov in a British court would bring a much fairer result than anything I expect from our tainted football authorities.

re Alisher Usmanov

After reading your blog I was moved to email the Prem league to complain about this hideous man, I got the usual fob off email with the rules for discounting directors. See below.

"The Premier League has several rules geared at ensuring good governance of Premier League clubs. For example, we have rules disqualifying persons from being directors of Premier League clubs in certain circumstances (the "Fit and Proper Person" test (FAPPT)), and preventing dual interests in more than one English club. A copy of our rules is attached along with the fit and proper persons regulations as issued by the FA (in particular, may we draw your attention to Schedule 3 of the FAPPT - Schedule of Offences covered by the FAPPT).

The rules are in place to ensure the integrity of the competition which is paramount to the League's success.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views"

maybe you'd have more luck and any football fans wanting to give them their two penneth worth

good luck

Hi, my name is Muzaffar, i'm Uzbek and I have a comment on your views about ALisher Usmanov.

Being a BSW(social work) student and most of all, a resident of Uzbekitan, I strongly disagree with most of your points since they're all biased and even fabricated, you don't seem to have any credible arguments or facts agains Mr Usmanov. NOW, Just think about it - the whole world is just like that, i mean everything is all about business, take the US 4xample; the war in Iraq is all about geopolitical influence and oil in the first place. And DO YOU KNOW that some of the HUGE US corporation leaders have always had ties with MAFIA, they still do, and will always influence US policies overseas, right. Chelsea for example, is now of the finest world clubs due to Russian investments. Every other UK resident wants to greet Mr. Abramamovich in person. As for our country however, we have had tremendous changes by now brought about by foreign investments and particularly due to Alisher Usmonov's policies. The situation is way better since the time you, SIR, were kicked out of this country because of your immoral behaviour with Uzbekistani prostitutes. how can you claim he is a criminal if you can't even prove his guilt, what you said above are just nothing but rumors.
You, Mr. Murray, are the one to be refered to as criminal and charged with SEXUAL DEPRAVITY or even a harrasment since you were hanging out with underage non adult females at Tashkent nightclubs, namely SKY CLUB, while you were working as a British ambassador in Uzbekistan. You organized round table with bunch of idiots whose minds you could easily manipulate with your democracy propoganda and lost your job as a result. why don't you think broadly about Central Asia from now on. P.S. life never stays the same and people like Alisher Usmanov are the ones to make a REAL DIFFERENCE, but never people like you SIR !!!!

Happy New year once again
