Usmanov

[Big Fat Sam]

Why do people want this Usmanov bloke? He's dodgy as sin.

All the better. We've been too nice for too long. Imagine the reaction over the park when we're picking up our fifth consecutive Champions League trophy, full in the knowledge that Mr Usmanov funds mass genocide across the world.

If you are happy with Moshiri's money you can't object to Usmanov's.

Exactly
Sadly morality has all but left football
Agents getting millions of pounds from transfers
Boyhood blues screwing their club over
Players running their contracts down
Players getting 400 k a week and some of their teammates apparently wanting the same
Clubs having owners who own slaves in their own country.
It’s as the song says , all about the money and I can’t see it changing anytime soon

Either Usmanov will come or not. There isn't any ambiguty about it, it's a clear line.

After the exchange of bids last year and his statement it was a completely different position to what he's had previously of never ever selling.

So regarding the Esk's ITKness all it would take little movement by Usmanov for him to then completely change his opinion on the situation. He's done it numerous times before.


His tweet regarding Kroenke's attitude as 'utter rubbish' is well utter rubbish. Kroenke wants to own Arsenal completely, it's been made clear numerous times, he needs 100% ownership to have no minor opposition so he can probably incorporate in Delaware. Now whether he acheives that by clearing out Usmanov in 1 bid or picking up the other shares 1 by 1 until he has them all bare Usmanov and AST then gunning for them, then he'll do it what ever way.

It says in today’s Daily Mail that Stan Kroenke paid £28000 per share for 22 further Arsenal shares yesterday and that he’d be willing to pay the same amount for Usmanov’s 30.4% stake because he wants to take the club private. Seems there may be a willing and able buyer if Mr Usmanov wants to dispose of his stake in Arsenal and join us!

 

[The Blue Watch]

He’s so cock sure isn’t he the Esk about this isn’t he.

Love it if he was wrong but I doubt he is

Knowing our luck he’ll be right about this one

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Don't understand all the jabs at Esk...maybe because I wasn't around at the time of whatever went down but, at the same time, I don't know of anyone who's been right 100% of the time. Those who have the capability to be typically aren't going to divulge a whole lot because they're close enough to have a vested interest and they also understand how stuff can fall to pieces in the space of hours.

Whatever happens, happens...I just don't want to see the club f'ed up.

 

[Boss_Rarkley]

If he comes it'll be once/around planning permission being granted for the stadium.

Won't be sooner incase its not going ahead

Wont be too far later as the club will very well fall behind the top 6 further and further without large investment.

We've had large investment, we just royally cocked it up.

Not necessarily, we've spent big but in terms of competing for the top 6 we are miles off.

We offered Lukaku a "blockbuster" 140k a week deal... Utd are paying him 250k

Liverpool paid £75 million for one player on huge wages

Look at what City pay in fee's and wages etc

The amount he paid for those 22 shares is roughly the equivalent per share to what Kroenke offered Usmanov in October.

Erm, any real need for terminology such as this ?
Mass genocide is sadly a reality and not really a matter for levity is it ?

 

[People75]

the stadium will have a first class location, at the docks, with a firstclass club, that practicaly run it-self, financialy.

perhaps he is a bit worried about the brexit, aswell. Who know how that will effect the foreign real-estat investments

LOL really? Happy being a no mark club mate? - I would do cartwheels if he came

Mass genocide anyway is an oxymoron.
