As much as it pains me, I have to agree with the "miserable get" @davek . That ^^^^ is the more likely scenario.
That make no sense what so ever... he owns shares in Arsenal nothing more.. I’m sure he owns other shares in the uk.. they can’t force him to sell or anything... also he isn’t Russian
 

Sponsorships add into that though. I would not be surprised if we bent the rules, City style with well timed large sponsorship deals. I believe FFP allows owners to clear debts, so again we may run up a big debt, and have Usmanov clear it (akin to Moshiri).

This is what makes me think there may be something in this our transfer activity doesn't seem logical, i know we have cleared wages etc and shed a few (albeit at a loss). But 50 million on Richy, 20 on Dinge, Mina or another for 30 mill and we dont look like stopping there, a fair wedge in wages for Bernard, the business simply doesn't have that much money in it according to the accounts. Makes me think we have broken the Chinese piggy bank, if he came in and cleared that debt he has basically funded this window.
 

Can anyone remember with Moshiri the timing between him selling his shares in Arsenal to buying ours?

If it’s gonna happen, I would expect a fairly quick announcement.

It’s also highly likely that he will quit the UK altogether before the shizzer hits the fan for the oligarchs.
 
They done it to Roman.

They have, he is not as well connected as Usmanov and is also not as involved in regeneration/building works. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it would be a huge PR own goal for the government with their "northern powerhouse" if they did. Usmanov would probably create more jobs/opportunities than then entirety of the Tory government put together.

Leaving the UK is certainly an option (and may not preclude him from investing by the way). However having a base in the UK is of strategic importance and he will not likely want to reside in Russia.
