Plenty of other takers surely, or is the Kronke majorrity a stumbling block for any potential buyer?

Kronke has a controlling interest already, so why pay gazillions to a bloke who will then plough tons into a PL competitor? Makes no sense.

A 3rd party purchase? Well, stump up £300m for a shareholding with zero influence on the board? Unless a daft Chinese lot want exposure to the PL with a hope that everything keeps going north.

Just seems an odd one to me. Unless he gives them away, which I doubt he is allowed to.

But wouldnt he have full control if he did? Why wouldnt he want that?

Also im sure there will be enough interest in a huge PL club that is London based and makes a lot of money without spending

Kronke is already de facto in charge of Arsenal and making a return on his investment, so there's no real need for him to secure is place further.

IF, its more a question of who would buy them. The shares that is.

Kronke wont.

I think a multi billionaire has enough contacts to find one person rich enough to take his shares off him for a decent price.

If he really wants to sell them then I'm sure a deal with the other shareholder of USM Vladimir skoch could be done maybe?

Keeps the arse shares within USM too.

That would be boss if it's legal piss afc & lfc fans off no end

Keeps the arse shares within USM in a way too.

If thats allowed, then that might be a plan.

He doesn't sound the type you would want to mess around with. If I were Kroenke - I'd be making a deal as soon as possible.

Dream lads. Dream big. My thinking is that we must have had very positive discussions with peel about the new stadium and usmanov has seen that all this is possible so has 'sponsered' us to prove to kenwright etc his commitment to the long term project.

I can't see why not as he would buy red and white holdings of off usmanov. who owns it now with moshiri already at us and that's OK.

He'd make a greater return on his investment

Kroenke does not care about success. He'll happily milk Arsenal for all it's worth and leave them a shell of their former self. He's a terrible owner. If he sees personal profit in complete ownership, I think he'd take it, regardless of the long term implications on Arsenal's success.
