Been had off. Is he only a shareholder then?
I heard that BOTH Merseyside clubs are relocating to the moon.
They will get the dark side obviously.

Indirectly he owns 30.04% of Arsenals shares (through Red & White Holdings)

50% of Everton is not more lucrative than 30% of Arsenal.
Unless you're suggesting Moshiri is going to sell his entire shareholding to Usmanov.
I think the Usmanov shout may have legs, only for the sole reason that even though he bought Moshiri's shares, he still doesnt have a say in the running of Arsenal. It was well known that he and Moshiri were frustrated at not having a say and even went as far as to pen an open letter attacking Kronke and a few others. Usmanov (by the looks of it) will never get a look in there.
Maybe he bought Morishi's shares just to help him buy us and he will follow further down the line. We may not be as lucrative as Arsenal but he (and Moshiri) would have full control over what is still a top football club and with the right direction (stadium/sponsorsip deals etc) could still make them £££.

Yeah did post something along those lines
Is there any way that Usmanov could ever have a say at Arsenal whilst Kronke wont budge?

Just been musing over the entire situation mate.
Question for you, or more of a hypothetical scenario maybe
Say Moshiri togetehr with Usmanov had finally both had enough of Arsenal, they want full control of a premiership club - which has a bit of oomph about its history and with potential to be so much bigger than it currently is... Problem is they own shares in Arsenal - if they just cut and run from their at the same time - 2 things would happen, they would be seen as 'having' to sell their stake in Arsenal in order to move onto a purchase of another club, which would pretty much be a certainty to drive down the price they could recieve for their Arsenal shares, additionally any deal involving Usmanov buying a club would IMO anyway see the asking price doubled - just due to the wealth he has.
Would a possible scenario see one of them moving first - giving them a lot more leeway in terms of disposing of their Arsenal interests, whilst not missing out on their target (ie us), moshiri starts the process of complete ownership, starts to restructure the club from the top down, starts the stadium ball rolling and starts the increase in funding, Usmanov then disposes of his stake in Arsenal in his own time, and moves into a partnership like they had at R and W holdings again, and then becomes the face of the new owners - chairmen etc
Additionally it would carry the added bonus (for them) of us as a fanbase not falling off our chairs and wanting everything right now, Moshiri is wealthy but no sheikh for example, so we will give him more time to restructure without the expectation of throwing a gazillion quid at the situation, 6 months down the line ofc, a lot of the restructuring will already have been done, new manger in place, first wave of investment already completed, then the big hitter arrives and changes the game?
All speculation, but as a overall plan - they'd give themselves time to get the best price for Arsenal shares, give themelves the best chance of buying us at the lowest possible price, and both manage to fullfill their long time dream of co-owning a top football team in this country, with both having a voice and Usmanov in charge?
