Usmanov has paid £200m to double his stake I'm arsenal, so clearly he must think it will improve his position.

Usmanov denied wanting to take over Everton yesterday and stated his love for Arsenal and desire to secure his family's involvement in that club for generations to come, so Usmanov theories are completely wrong.

we are all speculating here lad, get a grip.

the two have worked together for years, so it isn't nonsense to speculate it at all.

jeez, you on your period?

Any chance can you debate without bringing sexist comments into it spud?

We won't be happy when he sells Stones and Lukaku to Arsenal for a £1.

That's my nightmare tonight...

Reminds me of when I had Sensible World of Soccer on the Amiga and got the Liverpool managers job after guiding Huddersfield Town to promotion.

First day on the job I bought Borat Shitrat (valued at 15k) from some part time league for 20m plus McManaman, Fowler and James.
The board where not happy but sanctioned the deal.
I finished in the bottom 3 and got sacked but it was great fun.
I re-established myself at Derby County and won the title...


This alerted a mid placed Championship Liverpool who offered me the managers job.

Dreams are just dreams and we all have hopes and fears. I think we are on the right track with this new investment.

He's just paid Moshiri so Moshiri can get rid of his shares though, they still have the same number registered under their "red and white holdings" company.

No mate, Moshiri will not have any stake in the holding company.

Not for one second saying Usmanov will join his mate at EFC, but i wouldnt be surprised.

Something has got to give with Usmanov & Kroenke. Either Kroenke will cave and allow Usmanov to take more control or Usmanov gets more and more frustrated of having a decent share of Arsenal but having no say.

Hope we havnt just swapped this fella for Robert Earl, a rich fella doing nothing but give a few sound bites about moving us upwards, while waiting for a return on his investment.
That's what being an Everton fan gets you thinking like, always expecting the worst.

No, because:

a) Moshiri is £1.1 billion richer than Earl.
b) Has a background and interest in football.
c) Isn't there to be shadow director to keep Kenwright in power.
d) Owns nearly half the club and is the largest shareholder.
e) Is outspoken and committed in his views (see the letter he sent to the Arsenal board in 2012).
f) Is an accountant with a huge fortune, as opposed to being twice bankrupt.

It's night and day between Moshiri and Earl. Things really have changed.

I didn't realise Bring the ghost on was a woman. i apologise, didn't mean to be sexist if thats the way it came across.

Not as if he can't afford to give his Arsenal shares out to his family and purchase some shares at Everton. He's only worth 14 billion

How have the other sites ITK lads taken this today ?

That would be a way for him to invest in us and not giving up his interest in Arsenal. Transfer his shares to his family.
We can live in hope.

No mate, Moshiri will not have any stake in the holding company.

I wasn't saying he would, I was just saying that Red and White Holdings haven't increased their stake in Arsenal, the shares have just been moved around internally.

 

[BoysInBlue]

I have that feeling in my stomach, like when Lovejoy came on the telly and you knew it was almost time for bed, but it was such a boss programme you forgot about School in the morning, then reality hit you.
It's been such a long time coming, I'm actually scared it's happened.

I'm way older than you, for me it was Howard's Way. HATE that theme tune to this very day!

With regards to saying the Yanks were a done deal?

They're adament thats what they were told and were led to believe but seems Moshiri has come out of nowhere late on and trumped the Yanks.

 

[bring the ghost on]

Yes, but Usmanov has increased his stake from 15% to 30% by virtue of owing the Hold Co outright.
