Everton’s ownership and the alleged involvement of Alisher Usmanov, the Arsenal shareholder, at Goodison Park will be scrutinised in a two-part Panorama special,

The BBC has obtained documents pertaining to Usmanov’s purchase of a 14.58 per cent stake in Arsenal in 2007 through the Red and White investment vehicle that he jointly owned with Farhad Moshiri, who sold up to his business partner last year to facilitate his purchase of 49.9 per cent of Everton.

I'm sure we'll be fine. The premier league has already scrutinised and signed off the deal and the original money even if it was a gift, it isn't a loan so I doubt it can be considered usmanov's money.

if i read it right they are saying that usmanov gave moshiri shares in Arsenal as a gift so couldn't of sold them back and it's usmanov who is our majority shareholder not moshiri which is just pathetic i was expecting it to be about jon woods who is as dodgy as they come but to me it sounds like let's try and kick Everton when they are down my question is why are they looking at us and not Man City who are constantly bending the rules with their owners sponsoring them for obscene amounts why because and I have always said it the media dislike us always have.
