Mounts Kipper Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Certainly not you, eh? How's your mates at the mistrust going on No idea I’m not involved never have been, just gave them my opinion on a couple of occasions. Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I’m thinking that enthusiasm is greatly motivated by his desire to promote the club and ultimately sell it for a profit. No ones fooled are they? Maybe so, but it’s only a job to the players so why shouldn’t that extend to the owners (and family)? Good on him for enjoying his work. Quote

I’ve not a problem him enjoying it or making a profit on the club as long as we are in a better position when he does. Quote
tomski Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Looking forward to a half time cup of BorschtInteresting set of events. What is inner circle now though. I imagine Ken hasn't got many other businesses to sell to Russian billionaires mind Quote
Guest Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Interesting set of events. What is inner circle now though. I imagine Ken hasn't got many other businesses to sell to Russian billionaires mind Hasn’t sold inner circle. Sold inner circle group. A dormant company.... Quote
tomski Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Hasn’t sold inner circle. Sold inner circle group. A dormant company....yes that's why I asked what is it now and what it could mean Quote
gonzo Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Hasn’t sold inner circle. Sold inner circle group. A dormant company.... With no trading licence etc. Why would one do this? And why would anyone want to buy it? Quote
Guest Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 With no trading licence etc. Why would one do this? And why would anyone want to buy it? Transferred ownership doesn’t necessarily mean anyone has bought it I guess. Hopefully Ken has found some investment! Quote

Sluffy Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) What has happened? George Bower has tweeted about two of Anderson's dormant (not currently trading) companies being taken over by a Russian, Vasily Anisimov (there is a person of that name who is a billionaire and one of the richest men in Russia). Thing is though this was done at the end of January/ very beginning of February and Mr Ansimov seemed to have withdrawn his 'significant' control of the company to a Nikolay Ansimov (who may or may not be related to Vasily who may or may not be the billionaire). The company Inner City Group Ltd new owners changed its name to Galitor Uk Ltd. The other Anderson company Inner Circle Sports and Media Ltd, which is now called Desior UK Ltd, now seems to be owned by Galitor. The people all named as Directors of both companies all seem to be connected to Cyprus. There is a company Lovitech UK Ltd that is shown to have a 'significant' control (owns 75% or more of the company) of what is now known as Galitor and the person who set up the company just two weeks before it took on Anderson's two former business is shown as a Yakov Klebanov from Khazakstan. Fwiw Mr Vasily Asimov and Mr Klebanov seem to be partners in a company called Degevol UK Ltd. It would seem that two business, Ganberg Engineering Ltd, Cyprus (510 shares) and Bronera Ltd, United Arab Emirates (490 shares) hold all the shares in this company. It would also seem that Degevol has all the shares in Ganberg (and I would also guess they own all the shares in Bronera also?). On the 26th May 2017 (filed on the 8th June) Ganberg's filing history showed that the shares had a premium of over £4 million per share! So as there are 1,000 shares it would set the value of just this one business at £4,000,000,000 - serious money indeed! Anyway I've wandered off the track a little bit. Why some seriously rich Russian/Kazakhstani businessmen would want to take over a couple of Ken's inactive companies is anyone's guess but mine would be that there must have been something in the wind leading up to the end of January that for whatever reason didn't happen. Lee went to Dubai (UAE) last week and one of the companies above is also linked to the UAE so maybe things are moving again? The UAE would be a handy place anyway to speak to people from Russia, Khazakstan, Cyprus, UAE, etc, so maybe plans are still afoot, who knows but the bottom line is that Bower is tweeting about goings on from 5 months ago and not about anything he knows that is current. Hope all that makes sense to people. EDIT - Just for clarity Inner Circle Investments Ltd, is the company that owns 94.5% of the club and Ken retains control of the two issued shares in the company as otherwise there would have had to be a statement of significant control if someone had taken control of one or both of these shares from him.

Johnnyrotten Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Refreshing to have a chairman that communicates occasionally instead of the can't be bothered attitude I had grown used to for decades. Quote

Guest Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 aye, though he didn't write that he probably doesn't even read it Given some of the past entries I will be amazed if Ken isn’t writing them himself. Any media or PR professional ghost writing would never have let some of the past efforts publish.... Quote

Any media or PR professional ghost writing would never have let some of the past efforts publish.... course they will if they are paid by the club to do it, by that I mean it'll be an employee like that Emma Norris or someone, she (or whoever) will get given a list of bullet point things to mention and then knock it up reads like it's written by a young person trying to be articulate to me some of the stuff that came out before and after we played sheff utd in the promotion season was written by a proper fan, not a chairman with any self respect Quote
