  • Also read that in April 2011, when he last increased his shareholding in Arsenal the club was valued at £731m.

    Just over 7 years later, the club is valued at 1.8 billion!!

    rumours about Usmanov were elsewhere too - though maybe because of this photo instead of as well as it
  • If Usmanov is involved in Charlton I’ll get his fizzog tattooed on my arse.

  • rumours about usmanov come from this photo

    The guy looks a little like usmanov if usmanov was about 20 years younger.

    Paul Elliott's thinking "oh fuck I finally get a properly wealthy bloke to come along to watch Charlton and they serve up this dross, I'd have an easier time selling bacon sarnies at a mosque"
    Muir's thinking "'strewth! Gerard's gonna have to remind me what the blazes we're s'posed to be watching here, that belgian bogan must be out of his flamin' mind if he thinks this dog'n'pony show's worth more than about 40 bucks, let alone 40 mil! Now how long do I have to sit here before I can shoot through and do something less village?"
  • I think if Usmanov had been at The valley we would have known by now.

    Yeah, I don't think it is him, having studied photos for 10 mins. Flip flop :smile:
  • That is absolutely not Usmanov at the Valley

    as i said, it looks like it was usmanov if he died his hair and extensive surgery to make himself look about 20 years younger

    if usmanov was one of the AFC investors, i'm sure @Airman Brown would've heard something by now.

    He has no biological children and one step son. Who is a real estate agent.

    No way would be part of an Aussie consortium anyway. If he was interested (which I very much doubt) he would write the cheque himself

    He's done a great job with the LA Rams, don't get what Arsenal fans are moaning about.

    I presume this is sarcasm!
    Yes and no - can't argue dispute how well the last year has gone for them.

    Could Usmanov be interested in Charlton ? Lol

    Everton to be his focus?
    Considering he probably already owns them.
    Yeah of course, but he did that by ripping them out of St Louis and relocating them to a market where even the guy who invented New Coke would have succeeded.

    There is something intangible about a club's identity that Kroenke would be willing and able to tarnish. We have seen it ourselves over the past four and a half years.
    Haven't Arsenal already been ripped out of Woolwich .....?

    I don't suppose a lot of recent Arsenal fans even know this.

    My Grandfather on my fathers side was staunch Arsenal when they were local but my Dad and all his brothers were Charlton. My Grandfather on my mothers side of the family had a trial for Chaflton so the club is well and truly in my genes. :wink:

    He's married to one of Sam Walton's daughters and made his money building shopping malls right across the states, often linked to Walmart stores .. money, either cash or borrowed will not ne a problem for ol Stan

    Personally, I think he just wants to own the shares himself so he can sell it. He is valuing Arsenal at £1.83 billion with his buyback from Usmanov. My guess is he sells the whole thing after forcing the fans to sell back their shares. Probably for $2 bil or even $2.5.

    Usmanov will set his sights a lot lot higher than where we currently are.

    He could buy most clubs in the world that he wanted to.

    Yeah but imagine his feeling of achievement when he takes our basket case of a club from the depths of despair to winning the Champions League. Live a little Alisher!
