Farhad Moshiri

That's not a hand, that's a cats paw....which is what he is now.

Just wait till big Ali comes in and chops it off.

His contacts. So bringing others into the club to join/assist.

His contacts and his business acumen.

Other owners think the best way to make a profit is to skimp on signings, fleece the fans and neglect the playing side, Moshiris way is to improve every aspect of the club.

He appears to be in it for the long haul.

Well we certainly arent going to improve overnight, the club has been mismanaged off the pitch for over 20 years.

Im not having a pop at Bill, he did what he could with the money he had, he only ever had our interests at heart, but hes an actor mainly, yes hes got a very successful company and im fairly confident hes forgotten more about business than I could learn off Wiki, but nobody would ever say hes a great businessman.

We haven't bought a player today.

Mosh out.

Oh, my god.

There should totally be a MOSH PIT at Goodison.

ARSENAL shareholder Alisher Usamanov is rumoured to be heading off to Everton as he looks to sell his share in the Gunners.

Could this summer get any worse for Arsenal fans? With the club’s severe lack of drive and determination to sign players to push for the title, it now appears someone else is indeed feeling the frustration.

Alisher Usamanov could be selling his share in Arsenal
Earlier today, arseblog.comreported that speculation is mounting and Usamanov’s company Red and White Holdings to sell up.

Usamanov is a huge fan of the club hence the reason for his desire to own it himself but his relationship with the majority shareholder Stan Kroenke is as obvious as the plans are to sign a top class striker, it simply doesn’t exist.

Such news will have supporters pulling their hair out as Usamanov has been seen as the eventual messiah to all of their worries.

But with a 30.4 per cent stake in the club the Uzbeki has been frozen out from the board meaning his views and opinions are not listened to and especially not by ‘Silent Stan’.

Stan Kroenke has a 67.05 per cent stake in Arsenal
Former partner Farhad Moshiri bought a 49.9 per cent stake in Everton and has shown signs of real ambition to transform the club especially with the addition of new manager Ronald Koeman.

With Arsenal lacking such ambition in the transfer market and very much stuck in their ways, Usamanov’s hands are tied as he is desperate for his club to challenge.

First though he must find a buyer for his share in the club and fans will be desperate that does not mean selling to the KSE group owned by Kroenke.

Arsenal have failed to deliver success at the Emirates, its now 10 years since they moved from Highbury
The absent owner is unlikely to get Usamanov’s stake as he wants to sell to someone that will challenge the board and Kroenke.

It won’t be great news for the board either as any interested party may well decide that this could open the door to make an offer to Kroenke for his stake too.

None of this makes sense, if Usamanov wanted out he couldve just done a deal to sell to Moshiri while he had Arsenal shares then buy Everton himself instead of sending Moshiri over first.
Kroenke would have no reason to buy Usamanovs shares as this would free up a billionaire that could then compete with Arsenal, as it stand he has Usamanov stuck at Arsenal and no potential investor is likely to buy into that club as they will have no chance at a spot on the board.
Kroenke already has the majority control so why buy more shares

Well if Kroenke has more shares it means more money for him as he doesn't have to share out profits then. .. so that might entice him... I dunno maybe I'm wrong.

Have you heard of a company called Google?

Shares in Google are sold all the time, people buy these shares to make money, everybody who buys these shares knows they will never own Google or even have a say in how Google is ran.

With respect mate that could scarcely be more irrelevant to talking about buying 30% of Arsenal football club.

If it would be a sound investment to dump 400m into Arsenal then excellent, we may well be in business. But neither you nor I know enough about finance to know whether that's the case so we just got to wait and see innit.

With respect, shares are shares, that was more my point.

I only know that Moshiri bought 15% of Arsenal for 75m and sold it for 200m.

Now im not great at Maths, but that seems like a decent return to me like.

This is the most interesting part of the Sun's article as it implies Kroenke would be a willing buyer of Usmanov's stake. No idea if it's true of course.

 

[Darren Higgs]

That's my point though. Moshiri doesn't strike me (from the little we know about him) as some nutcase who's going to do half his fortune down the drain to make Everton successful. But the plans we're hearing sound almost like that's what he'd have to do to accomplish them (long term at any rate)... which is why i feel like there's someone else to come onboard.

Its probably worth remebering that although about a billion has been invested in man city the clubs value has also risen to over 1 billion and so if the club was sold now the owner may break even if not profit.

Moshiri could sink 500mil in everton to get the stadium and squad we need. If we then have a global brand and are competing in europe our value will rocket towarda and maybe beyond the 1 billion bracket and would then provide a massive profit.
