Usmanov

[diggerdestroyer]

What if this great lump of russian mafia don fails in his attempt if a take over at arsenal and decided he has had enought and drives his ultra motor ship up the mersey?

How brilliant would that be.

Troy deeney could go an f off

 

[BurnhamBlue]

How close is this John Cross to the situation? He seems convinced that Kronke will never sell up.

Like everyone in the media, guessing.

Let's just say, everyone has their price.

Weird that we are finally getting positive media from law, cross etc over our future ownership and the esk is spamming them all about how wrong they are, just cause he's obsessed with his online Internet persona being right.

Not a clue who Law or Cross are. And not on Twitter.

But I do know Esk, in the real world, and you are miles wrong in that assessment.

To be fair I reckon Esk does has some very valid points on the issue and had already done his research no sooner had Moshiri came in.

 

[Neiler]

But Kroenke doesnt need the money. He needs Arsenal.

My own take on all this, Docks, USM, Usnamov, Moshiri, is that its all tied together with a lot of rich folk getting much richer via the whole Liverpool Waters development.

Mosh was set free from his Arsenal shares to front the whole thing, do the groundwork, for others to join in via contracts, developments, etc.

But its all speculation, and whilst good fun, until major share holdings change hands at Arsenal, speculation is all we have.

To be honest, this is my belief as well there is a consortium at play here and Mosh just happens to be the agent. I've seen nothing yet to disprove this as highly likely. It's the most logical thing for these lads, they have doubled their exposure in the PL inside 12 months.

Usnamov will never take over Everton though, if he intended coming here primarily we wouldn't have put so much effort into the council gaurentee model of funding. That's it really, won't happen.

Cross is a crap journalist but knows arsenal well and he reckons usmanov could be looking at Everton. But the esk was straight in saying no chance. Weird.

Fixed

Is his wallet in the shape of a sumo wrestler?

Yes - and that's only for large denomination notes (and bearer bonds)

Like I said, not on Twitter. But Esks view on Usnamov has always been the problem he would have actually disposing of his shares.

Some say it would be straightforward, (Chinese, investment groups, etc), Esk has never doubted that, just said it would be difficult.

He also said it suits Kroenke to keep him marginalised. Why would he buy Usnamov out, freeing him to fund, significantly, a competing club?

Makes no sense.

 

[evertony]

Have you seen the size of the gelatinous blob?

That will very easily be misconstrued by some readers after the beers have been imbibed. Makes for a lively thread after the watershed.

That's the logical route, but we're talking about football, roydo.

Logic goes out the window sometimes. Kroenke has been knocked back a year on his LA NFL palace, as if that'll have any effect.

Kroenke's basic weasel-like nature is what brought Shad Khan to our fair city and cost St. Louis their football team. Khan was tapped to buy the Rams and Kroenke exercised his option with no previous warning at the last minute to buy them, then moved them a couple of years later as he had planned all along. At that point, the NFL knew Wayne Weaver was ready to unload the Jaguars, and the rest is history. Everything here is great except for the actual team itself. Kind of like Fulham, now that I think of it...

Hmmm...

 

[orly]

Frandel?

Ali will be incoming.

1. Make a bid
2. Fake outrage when bid is refused
3. Sell shares
4. Make Everton the PSG on England

Sadly Alimorg Usmanfrand there is no chance with this

Only my fellow Everton frandels could interpret him trying to buy Arsenal outright as him really trying to buy Everton. I love us, we are Frandly but mental

 

[PeregrineT]

Thank goodness Kroenke refuses to sell. It will be much easier to make the champions league as long as Arsenal continue to be run by the fool.

 

[mezzrow]

Frandly but mental

Everton - Nil Satis Nisi Optimum

G.O.T. - Frandly But Mental

We should get F.B.M. discreetly added on the next set of mugs. It'll be the Mark II version. Let 'em guess what it means.
