  • Well I hope it doesn’t happen before our trip to Bradford next Saturday, I don’t want a bunch of celebrators deciding to attend thus spoiling my quiet day out with dear friends.
  • With all due respect to RedHenry, I’m sure he hears quite a lot of stuff in regards to players that filters throughout the club and training ground and it’s usually spot on, but the top level stuff id imagine only a couple of people really know what’s happening.
  • Can’t remember which page but that photo of the Aussies in the directors box.. wasn’t there a bloke that looked the spit of Usmanov, sparking a debate about whether he was involved?

    Any chance it was actually him?

    Furthermore, if it was him, and he is involved in the Aussie bid, does that explain the holdups due to rumours of a member’s involvement in another club?

  • Would perfectly explain why our unsettled players crashed out of the checkatrade with all this fervour.

    Sorry to disappoint yet we're not out yet

    Thanks mate that news has made a sunny Friday even brighter.
  • Whose Mikhail Goldshchtik? Doesn't sound very Uzbek...

    I've been to Tashkent and Bukhara. Lovely place, Uzbekistan.

    Excellent news. You'll be able to translate Usmanov's statement then. Spit, spot.

    That's a bit beyond my very rusty Russian O level!
  • I predicted this way before any of you bastards, just I used his Russian security services code name "Vegetarian Irish Boarderski'

  • Up the Uzi's
  • Would so many other new outlets be quoting The Mirror if they thought the story was a non starter?
  • Meanwhile , back on planet earth, we are playing Wanderers tomorrow and not our directors favourite Wanderers in the third tier of English football.
    I refuse to get excited until scarfy makes an appearance.

    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

    Same, got laughed at when I said he'd be involved at some point.

    Haven’t read the posts on here recently, sounds like it’s already been said. Heard this morning Usmanov in and bringing Everton players on loan. That’s all I know atm

    Lookman please ;-)

    ‘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.
    haha not the case
    @Redhenry can you give any more info on what stage this interest is at?

    They wouldn't be mentioning the Mirror at all if they had a source of their own. It's more to do with not being left behind on an Arsenal story.

    The Usmanov stuff has been mentioned by people at the business end, rather than as gossip at the training ground or around the club, as something that had been explored by Murray via David Dein. However, there was nothing to suggest it had gone anywhere, i.e. that Usmanov was actually interested, which is why I have never written about it.

    Stories come about in all sorts of ways, but I seriously doubt a national newspaper would publish this about a high-profile figure in the game just because it had been speculated about on Charlton Life as has been suggested. That doesn't mean it has substance and will happen, but it is out there in the real football world, which is quite small. There is also the Keith Harris connection at Everton.
    Have we ever been linked to high profile figures in national news before?
    Just saying.

    1966...Charlton scores screamer against Mexico

    Edited, Mexico isn’t a high profile ‘figure’

    So I give you...Charlton to play Ben Hur....

    Just has an air of ‘rich man sells shares in London football + London football club up for sale = story’ about it

    And Darren Lewis has got previous for talking complete ballbag.
    exactly this.
