When they’ve got 650 million fans world wide they should be selling their ground out. They made those stupid claims and look a little silly.

It was more the case that the Oligarchs made their millions as the USSR broke up. Boris Yeltsin handed out huge swathes of state assets to his pals including mineral and oil rights. Some grabbed assets by trickery and buying employee shares for a song often from windows of the former state employees. They clearly picked up this idea from the way that Louis Edwards acquired control of United in the 1950s.You could be right but my understanding is that the oligarchs provided the upfront cash needed at the time when Russia broke up. In return they got the rights to export the commodities, particularly oil.
They did not extract it, they simply handled its export.

An arab with filthy oil money and his hand in Amanda Staveley's pocket. Preferably one who cheats ffp, and pays the manager extra by the back door.Yh, who will want to do that considering the stadium isn't done yet and their finances are so reliant on CL and player sales.
