  • Dusackofshit immediately doubles his asking price.

    He's halved it if you go by the Mirror report, which quotes £20M. Suspect that is lazy journalism.
    Definitely lazy journalism. No way he'd accept £20m after holding on for so long (hope they're right though).
  • What do we think of this then.

    Arsenal fans did not like him that much did they??

    Will he try to move us??

    Will he put money into the cloob??
  • Criminal conviction so won't pass EFL fit and proper test

    give em a backhander

    With his cash he wouldn't notice with a club our size. By the time he's paid the say 40m for the club and 10m on players/losses, he would've earned it back in interest. At the very least the water would be reconnected.

    I would imagine Duch would agree a much lower price on the promise of a pay out in the event of promotion once/twice. A realistic possibility.
  • Fake news?

  • “Usmanov criticized Arsenal's lack of ambition and financial model in an open letter sent to the board on 5 July 2012. This criticism came as consequence of the Dutch football player Robin van Persie's decision not to extend his contract. Usmanov, who remains a major shareholder, states that he has no intention of selling his shares. A month later, he reiterated his view that "the current politics of the club's management" were in part responsible for Arsenal's failure to win trophies. On the 7th of August 2018 it was reported that Usmanov had accepted a bid of 600m for his shares at Arsenal.”
  • Fake news?

    Usmanov, not Trump.
  • Rumour around for a while has been that Murray had tried to get to Usmanov via David Dein.

    Wasn't this mentioned about 500 pages ago?
  • See Usmanov is set to sell his share in Arsenal. Was he not linked with Charlton recently?

    ...
  • There was an old bird on Katherine Tate show

    She used to say what a load of shit


    I call BS

    Arsenal fans hated him because they only got into Europe every year and didn't win the every trophy going.
  • Hmm, an amusing story. Do I believe it, probably not...

  • So would everyone be happy for this to happen, in the unlikely event?
    Like = Yes LOL = No

    nice try getting your likes and lols up

    But to answer the question, he has to be worth a shot. Wouldn't be absolutely ecstatic but surely can't be worse then what we have.

    So cynical :smiley: But yes, it is a genuine question
  • Was waiting for Usmanov to get involved at some point.
  • Henry likes a cryptic clue and has a Union Jack badge.
    Redhenry says close to Man City rich and foreign.

    I give you, Britain’s richest man...

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2312348/Alisher-Usmanov-UKs-richest-man-Arsenal-FC-owning-oligarch-Uzbekistan-worth-13-3bn.html

    Dragging his feet because he is waiting for Kroenke to buy his Arsenal stake before he can buy us....

    2+2 = me very excited - and almost certainly wrong, but hey it is fun.

    Whatever, Nasri and Song won’t hang around for our contract offers forever even though they are Charlton fans so get it done RD.

    Hmm, Usmanov you say... wonder whom on this board mentioned him way back on Page 426? James Seed, NLA, Doucher, Red Henry, Airman, Errikke Bakke... you boys took a hell of a beating.. seems I am the only man in the know around here :wink: . Love it when a plan guess comes together.

    Anyway, I predict at least 400 posts on this matter between now and me checking in on Saturday morning after a day at the cricket tomorrow only to find out it is just The Mirror making up a story to fill column inches.
    I predict a room full of monkey's with typewriters will end up buying the club. Page 1254 mark it down.

    Usmanov would be a no-brainer. He desperately wants to stuff it to Arsenal's owner and the PL is the only way to do that. So if he buys it, get ready for a lot of money to be thrown around.

    It would make a lot more sense to buy Newcastle, though, which finished 10th last year with a Championship squad, is probably gonna make a nice profit this year, and could approach Arsenal-level quality with just 2 transfer windows.

    I got a bit of gfrief when I mentioned him a while back.

    I hope it’s true. That would be a game changer.

    Arsenal fans were upset with Kroenke not Usmanov. Usmanov is ridiculously wealthy and was angry that Kroenke wouldn’t put his hands in his pocket more

    There is not one sane Arsenal fan I know that would want Kroenke over Usmanov. Everyone knew Usmanov was willing to lose money for trophies. Kroenke demands a profit. It's an investment.
  • Criminal conviction so won't pass EFL fit and proper test

    Overturned.
