Usmanov

[Moomin]

Usmanov would not have appointed Big Sam and would have sacked Walsh last summer. He also would have gutted the playing staff.

He would have employed someone to that job for him. Someone like Moshiri

I would love Usmanov to come on board, but if he was funding the club. Surely we would have been in for bigger names. Maybe this summer will tell us more, in terms of the manager and players we target.

My guess would be that big names have better options than us or are already at better clubs. I mean we did try for Mata, Witsel and Koulibaly that we know of and looking back to the summer, Keane, Sandro, Klaassen and Pickford were all seen as great signings with bigger clubs sniffing.

The share price won’t drop too much
Arsenal is a cash cow that makes money every year.
Kronke would gladly pay top dollar for Usmanovs shares
He could then take the company private , incorporate them in America with the rest of his franchises and not have to worry about AGM’s
He could leverage Arsenal to fund building of new Arenas in the states

That could happen mate. Usmanov didn't outright say no to Kronke, he just said the price wasn't what he valued the shares at, from what I could decipher reading between the lines on Usmanovs last statement.

Quite the opposite on shares taking a hit......at an all time high and climbing

Mad that, I'd assume they'd be dropping considering Arsenals absence from the Champions League, bad performances and fans protesting etc. That link considered maybe Usmanov is waiting for the perfect moment to sell then.

I’d say the market knows that Kronke is a willing buyer and will pay top dollar for any share that becomes available
He recently bought a tiny amount of shares but paid top whack
There is no doubt he wants to buy the whole club lock stock and barrel.
I think he’s playing a cat and mouse game with Usmanov to see who blinks first.
Be interesting to see what Kronke does if someone bids for Usmanovs shareholding

I would take that.

Do we have any facts to back this up?

No chance, has to sell his shares first, has to be checked and ratified by the FA, then has to buy into Everton and same thing again. I reckon if it happens it'll be in the Summer at the earliest

You do realise this is the GOT forum
Since when have facts been relevant or considered to be important here

I submit the transfers threads as evidence to my statement being true

I have had a really busy few days, (thanks snow), and am very tired.

If Usnamov wants to sell, but not to Kronke, who wants to buy, why doesnt Kronke buy them via a seemingly unconnected 3rd party, then buy them from them?

Or am I really really tired, or watched too much Hustle this week?

Opinion or knowledge?

Usmanov wants to be seen by the Arsenal fans to be doing the “ right thing “
Arsenal fans in the main dislike Kronke and feel he hasn’t invested in the club and is happy with top 4 and Arsenal making money every year
He has had a long standing battle with Kronke and in my opinion doesn’t want to be seen to be losing the battle with Kronke.
If a seemingly unconnected third party came along I’m sure Usmanov would have them checked out , plus they would need to pass a fitness test plus I’d say Usmanov would put a caveat in the contract to stop the third party selling to Kronke
Despite what lads on here think Kronke Usmanov and Moshiri are not fools.
Arseblog is a good source of information on all thing Arsenal

Take a wild guess.
