Alisher Usmanov

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

No offence Paul but that's just your opinion on the situation, could just as easily be argued the other way around as to why it'd make sense.

I have to agree on this occasion.

Paul has been adamant from the off as to the reasons that he thinks it won't ever happen, but I don't think it's anywhere near as cut and dried as that, and never have had.

Be proper calm if he got involved

Stick this in the yarmalenko pile lol

It's important the club knows that The supporter base is particularly focussed on transfers. I would be very surprised if Moshiri and the Russian do not regularly (3-4 times a day) read GOT to maintain a feel for what we fans are thinking.....QUOTE]

From Uzbekistan. I suppose he was Russian at birth.

Can you all stop distracting the club from signing players please lads?

They need silence to get these deals done.

Thought Moshiri had an agreement to increase his shareholding anyway? Why would he do this if he was waiting for another investor?

Esk is a businessman mate and as such i honestly think he is looking at it through that prism, and ignoring several huge factors in the entire scenario, in a way thinking about how he would feel in Moshiri's shoes etc and why it makes sense to him that he would decide to strike out alone and make his own mark - without always being tagged as the junior partner in the dealings like he always has been with Usmanov.

But thats ignoring the fact some people are far more comfortable in that role, and a hugely succesful accountant 'fixer' who to all appearances does not seem comfortable in or to desire ANY of the notariety or spotlight that he finds himself in - would be a strange choice to suddenly strike out on his own at his age. Both have talked about it being their joint dream to won a club, under the current scenario that Esk favours we are to believe it is more likely that one fo those has given up his dream (Usmanov) to allow the other to fulfill his, i think the situation is more likely to be that they are stil pursuing that shared wish and atm we are at phase 1 of a several phase leaving of Arsenal and full control of Everton.

Especially when given the fact that esk has siggested that Moshiri will bring other investors on board, yet rules out the most obvious one - and one he can 100% trust to fulfill any promise made to him in Usmanov, just seems illogical

Bilic was saying in an interview that they can't compete with chelsea and also said maybe not even compete with Everton. Thought it was a strange thing to say.

Did anyone read this

No mate. I want to read the same chaotic ramblings by the same lunatics that I read when this last came up about 2 months ago. Please stop pissing on the cockwombles chips.

You mean why does he want to own more than 49.9%?

Surely his goal has always been 100% control or 50% of control with his mate.

The vast majority of Moshiris wealth is in his holding company, USM Holdings, the majority of which is owned by a certain Russian fella.

Because he's not waiting for an investor someone has written a blog and now it's gospel lol lol lol

Its only a matter of time until vindication, but the vaulting will be worthwhile.

In theory Moshiri personally doesn't hold a signle share, they are all held in a company name - of which he owns 100% of ofc, share options would also go into that company, till the 75% mark i assume, at any ppoint after that Moshiri can sell all or part of that company to anothe rinvestor, in this example a 50% stake to Usmanov would leave them in the same position in the company to the one they co-held shares in Arsenal
