Sorry mate I'm in work, saw it on my phone on twitter and can't access in work, I'm sure someone will post. John Cross from the mirror and Paul Brown from daily star both posted it in last few mins.

Cheers

Media circulating a statement from Usmanov stating he has no intention of selling his Arsenal stake and remains commited to Arsenal for long term

Not seen that, care to share this widely circulated statement?

That's what I was on about. Passing it to his family.

Twenty six pages.

So, can we lock this now ?
The man has said he's staying involved with Arsenal.
Nowt more to be said until such time as Kroenke either makes him an offer he can't refuse - highly unlikely or he really pi55es Usmanov off.
Mods, please lock.

Where did that image actually originate from? I cannot find an actual Red & White holdings website or anything, if they were to publish a statement why is it only sent by an email to some freelance journo?

It's a jarg statement if it's from that Paul Brown lid.

Exact same thing Moshiri said in a public released letter about his Arsenal investment btw.

It ain't happening Chico, even though we'd all like it to.

His shares in Arsenal will only go up in value, Arsenal have the infrastructure to secure that top club status for as long as they like, it's not as if they will do a Villa. If they are there for his family in the future, he has no reason to sell them. He certainly doesn't need the money. Now, selling those shares that will only rise to go to Everton, a club not in the same league (at the moment and perhaps in the future but not as definite as Arsenal) would be a bad business move and guess what? He didn't become this rich through bad decisions.

It's not going to happen unless: he wants to have a war with Kroenke. Or he wants to gamble his future family's nestegg for even more cash.
