Usmanov

[The binman chronicles]

a black vw tiguan ??

don't understand mate?

Looks like a Touareg to me. If you are going to be pedantic you gotta be right

I don't think that is as conclusive as you'd think.

Another "few quid" (or another buyer who wont sell to kroenke) and he probably changes his mind...

Read to me, exactly that. Up the offer Kroenke. If he's serious it'll cost more to take full control!

Interesting, the 2b valuation wasn;t from Usmanovs bid and it's proposed value of the club - wasn't that a 1 billion for 67% offer?

the only time i have seen 2 billion as a number was on the proposed African interest

guessing - i'd say he's just put up a flag for those to bid

That’s what I’m getting from it.
‘Oi Nigerian billionaire, if you want a way into arsenal with a huge percentage shareholding, and promise not to sell on to good old Stan, then I value the total club at £2b - come make me an offer’.

 

[blulouie]

Whichever way its dressed up.
Big Al has just wedged the door firmly open for anyone interested in buying his share's ..............anyone bar Stan Kroenke.

 

[Kenshin]

I think the most likely scenario is everton are gonna buy the shares and everton and arsenal will merge

Finally we get giroud

Everarse

What I think is going on here is Kroneke has got wind of others being interested in Usmanov's shares and is trying to buy them first.

100% this.

A few weeks ago it was rumoured on the arsenal forums (and here too) that Usmanov was looking to offload his shares. Then last week Arseblog came forward and said an offer had been made by Kroneke. It makes sense. Kroneke hears that Usmaov is looking for a buyer and that's the moment he steps in.

In sales, rule number 1 to maximise price is to repeat the refrain "it is not for sale".

He couched that beautifully later in his statement.

His statement means ..................................

" pay me what I want for it and I will sell as long as you aint with Stan. If you are with Stan, I will charge extra. If you are Stan, a lot extra still":

I reckon rule #1 is have/know your customer.

You quoted me before I could edit that bit in

Another "few quid" (or another buyer who wont sell to kroenke) and he probably changes his mind...

An African chap who goes by the name of Dangote who has stated on numerous occasions that he will make the Arsenal shareholders an offer they can’t resist ??
The plot thickens

 

[bluestevon]

I reckon rule #1 is have/know your customer.

In thiscase the customer is the Arsenal fans who have started to get themselves whipped into a frenzy about him selling to Good old Stan, this will immediately keep them quiet, behind thescenes who knows whats actually happening, but least this way the protests will not happen

 

[Brisan123]

So what was that meeting in London all about then???

Seems to be all hush hush
No one knows or if they do they are telling
Those docklands though Roydo

 

[Frang]

I wish he would bail moshiri out of his shares, he needs to buy a new rudder for his yacht, its sailing completely off course.

Interesting that he is Nigerias richest man (possibly Africa's), Gazprom are negotiating with the Nigerian government for the trans sahara pipeline, Usmanov used to be the md of gazprom, plot thickens

It all comes back to that, we both reckon. Seen nowt to disabuse myself of that destination.
