  • 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??

    I thought Arsenal fans liked him because he said he'd spend loads of money and they hate Kroenke because he runs Arsenal as a business
    That's what I thought
  • Would love this to be true .

    We already have four loans and I think you can only have five in a match day squad (correct me if I'm wrong), so there wouldn't be much point bringing in too many more loan players.

    Ah but it never works like that for us. The following calculation will help:

    X = N - I

    where

    X = net number of players available
    N = number of players on loan
    I = number of players injured, on international duty, ill, on host club refresher course, compassionate leave, fallen out with manager etc etc
  • He’s had some great roles over the years. He’s he better Hercule Poirot than David Suchet, IMHO.
  • Incidentally what exactly is Usnanov’s connection with Everton? I’ve not really followed this thread that closely of late but now it’s got interesting again!

    From Mirror:

    Everton are majority owned by Usmanov’s one-time business partner Farhad Moshiri.

    Both men had stakes in Red and White Holdings before Moshiri left to take control at Goodison Park. USM Holdings, one of Usmanov’s firms, also sponsors Everton’s Finch Farm training ground to the tune of around £75million.

  • ‘The Mirror understands....’

    Yeah righty’o

    Redhenry understands too, which is good enough for me.

    He said he’d heard this morning, which could just mean the person tht told him picked up a Mirror. I’d love it to be true but the story looks like a page filler.

    And it wouldnt be the first time a journalist had constructed a "story" from what he has read on Charlton Life. As you imply, there is nothing in the article to suggest the journo has any link to Usmanov.

  • Can't have any truth in it...........can it?
  • And we'd have Tom Tugendhat, Tory MP for Tonbridge and Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, to contend with. On R5L just now saying that cracking down on oligarchs is "Not just about Russia, not just about corruption, but now a matter of British national security."
  • Do hope something comes from this, a billionaire who wants to spend money with us is something we dream about from playing Football Manager.

    But Charlton are so used to disappointment I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Also in the bastion of truth that is The Sun.

    Although all the papers are saying that The Mirror understands, as in we don't want to miss the story but if it turns out to be brown and stinky it is their fault.
  • Doesn’t Darren Lewis have a history of talking absolute bollocks?

  • Press conference at 9.30am today - Bowyer's first as permanent manager. Could face some interesting questions!
  • The first time I've genuinely been excited on the take over thread that isn't pun related or a conspiracy theory.

  • Don't think there's much in it.
    Russians are looking to get out of anything UK, not jump in.
    Why did he jump from Arsenal?

    “In relation to comments made in national newspapers recently I wanted to clarify my position. Having recently, reluctantly, sold my shares in Arsenal Football Club, I am determined to leave a legacy in English football. That being said I have not yet made a formal offer to purchase Charlton Athletic Football Club but you can never say never.”

    Usmanov Statement

    Feel free to give me a whooosh but, is that actual statement genuine?
  • Seems a coincidence that the story is the same day as meeting with the EFL?

    He’s not Russian - he’s from Uzbekistan

    He left because the majority shareholder, Stan Kroenke, would not invest more money to make Arsenal competitive again

    He's a good pal of Putin's though.
