Sources close to Fortress tell it rather differently. Samuelson, along with a couple of former partners, has a long history of managing money in offshore tax havens - he has addresses in Bermuda, Gibraltar and Geneva - and he operated for several years on behalf of Menatep, Khodorkovsky's holding company. When Kenwright made contact with him, via the players' agent Jerome Anderson, Samuelson did reach into his Russian contact book. The sources claim he was indeed talking to Boris Zingarevich, hence Anton's interest, but when the stories emerged about his potential involvement, Zingarevich withdrew because he is extremely averse to the publicity.
Whichever version is correct, it seems Zingarevich's money is not coming to Goodison. However, Samuelson is said to have looked elsewhere, and be close to securing the £30m from a clutch of investors, as yet unnamed. Fortress sources have even come up with the surprising news that Samuelson is a longstanding Everton fan, for whom this is "more than business".
