According to this report in The Times recently, Alisher Usmanov was allegedly given the Sutton Place estate in Surrey as part of a deal with fellow oligarch Boris Berezovsky. Mr Usmanov denies this. I get chased by debt collectors for not paying £70 membership for a gym I’d left, and oligarchs argue about who gave…
I am re-posting this with some additional and updated information. I am now including quotes from the Premier League handbook to explain in detail what a shareholding of 30% means. Alisher Usmanov (through Red & White holdings) is very close to owning 30% of Arsenal Holdings shares. By the time you read this he may…
