Just a thought, if this russian wanted to leave something for his children/family etc, would leaving them a whole football club be more lucrative than 30% share in arsenal? Just a thought.

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 £££.
 
Thought WRD posted that Moshiri was going to bring on board wealthy business associates who would not necessarily invest.

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

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?

Some one rang up for a Russian based sugar daddy?
