Well Usmanov better hurry up, he strikes me as a man that doesnt have a lot of time left, yano?

With all due respect to everybody, Moshiri circulates in such a rarefied atmosphere that no fan or fan base will get anywhere near himself, his friends or acquaintances.

Im minded that he has also come to terms with the fact that Kenwright is a one trick pony, busted flush, call him what you want and that once his and Jon Woods remaining shares are hoovered up by Moshiri and co that those two will swiftly be consigned back to the boys pen.

I seriously doubt that less than two dozen people are party to his plans and this figure will include the captains of industry he and his advisors he is currently in contact with.

Its healthy and good fun to speculate but thats probably all it is.

Its easy to imagine Usmanov getting so dismayed by Kroenkes reluctance to open his house to him that he sells up and joins Moshiri.

I classify that scenario as logical speculation.

But to suggest the ordinary fans like ourselves are party to Moshiri and his advisors is also probably fanciful speculation also.

I call Bill Kenwright. Finished.

15 years. No trophies. Not a single penny invested.

I'm more than happy with having Moshiri on board.......I do however believe that he will bring others to invest.......

I believe that other investors joining is an INEVITABLE part of Moshiri's business plan.

I'm not saying anyone will join immediately but I don't forsee Moshiri holding 75% forever when he only needs 51.1%

or could parallel own

via the holding company taking on investors whilst retaining the 75% EFC stake.

The latter was the model he had at Arsenal incidentally.

Mate. I'm off to embrace a cup of coffee and some breakfast and chew over your cryptic comments. Regarding Usmanov. :coffee:

As always Goat. It's been a pleasure.

Maybe Moshiri wants to do this alone and not have his pal at his side. We should be happy we have Moshiri but no we still get ourselves wrapped up in Usmanov.

We are happy with him but the meltdown on rawk if Usmanov came here would be a sight to behold.

I don't buy the Usmanov talk. Moshiri wanting his own project makes sense. He is portrayed unfairly as being joined at the hip with Usmanov, he was referred to as his bag carrier here at one point.
You can't be as successful as Moshiri without proven ability to exercise independent judgement and initiative. I like Moshiri already, he has retained a common touch and if Usmanov came in, it would seem unreal, as if we had been duped somewhat, strange as that seems given he could obviously propel us into a whole new orbit.
I do think Moshiri will need to bring in additional investment over time, but let's give him time to get on with it in his own way, and not simply be Usmanov's shadow.

All we really need to know is that Moshiri is minted and mixes in circles with Usmanov types, ergo, he doesn't need Tesco's to make things happen.

If usmanov comes, cool it'll be good having more financial backing and two billionaires on board.

If not its not a big deal we already have a billionaire who is extremely smart and is already making changes and making hard decisions (sacking martinez)

Usmanov would be a bonus but I wont cry if it doesn't happen.

Yep you can see what they assume Usmanov might join due to links with Moshiri but like you said he might want his own project. Talking to someone yesterday who believes that Moshiri is just finding the true potential before Usmanov sell the arsenal shares by finding out if a new stadium can be built in the city and if so then Usmanov will make a move. I just don't want to get swayed along with this as it more chance all this being Chinese whispers.
