Even as qoutes from Mckenna 'David can come in as a back up defender for us, but his value goes far beyond minutes on the pitch. He as so much experience from Munich and Madrid' etc. Can't wait to see him in a town shirt |  | |  |

Obviously he cant cos of the news embargo Also explains the lack of January signings, why Ashton has gone quiet and why Szmodics wanted away all falls into place [Post edited 19 Feb 12:50]

and putin has already bought an executive box. |  |

As legit as footballing authorities deeming Abramovich fit to own an English league club ? 'As of early 2026, Roman Abramovich remains sanctioned by the UK government, resulting in a full asset freeze, travel ban, and transport sanctions. These sanctions were imposed in March 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with the UK government describing him as a pro-Kremlin oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin, a characterization he denies.' |  |

Even if fronted, it would be very difficult to get around sanctions in terms of him having any financial involvement. If you were the Chinese firm there would be still a huge credit risk requiring a very strong balance sheet to get the deal approved. If he has further assets frozen, or is unable to move the funds around the sanctions regime (whether offshore or onshore) they’d assume a huge loss. Therefore they may as wel make the investment themselves rather than on a fee basis. Doesn’t stack up at all. |  | |  |
