Thing is, offloading that many in the absence of a block buyer could take ages.

An investor will want a certain level of control because (1) they want to manage their investment, and (2) they want rewarding for their investment by a right to sit on the board. If Moshiri wants to bring in investment, then he can feasibly offer seats on the board, managerial positions, input into the commercial ventures.
Moshiri, and the other people you mention, are in a position to do this without compromising their own ultimate control which is secured in other ways (major shareholding, entrenched rights, etc).
Kroenke has showed no willingness to share the control - most likely because he doesn't need/want the investment. That's up to Kroenke. However, it does mean that any investor looking at Arsenal will realise they won't get the control they would get elsewhere, if they purchased 30%, hence the potential difficulty in selling.

That's unlikely to work, as the Premier League would see that as Usmanov having ownership in Everton and still exerting significant influence over Arsenal, which is also prohibited.

As I've said before I still think he will stay at Arsenal. But, isn't there a way for him to place the shares with a neutral body with the intention of selling them and exercising full ownership over them in the interim ? If that makes sense.

I really don't want to be the perpetual knocker of ideas, but there's no way anyone can sell 30% of a company valued at £1.4bn on the drip into the market.
No buyer would buy in the knowledge that the seller has 30%, 25%, 20% etc still to sell.
Furthermore Usmanov is not going to sell off in dribs and drabs because if he's going to sell to buy into Everton he has to sell all his Arsenal shares held by R&W.
I'm not knocking the ideas just speaking with some experience of these matters.

This might be a bit simplistic, but surely it's possible that a potential buyer might want to buy 30% as an investment?

That's why I suggested Chinese super rich, sound western investment and the kudos of owning a third of Arsenal. Hopefully Moshiri can whet his appetite for a live investment of another historic club without any interference from a US majority shareholder

Under Takeover Panel rules, Kroenke must in due course make an offer for every available share in the club.[2]

What does "due course" even mean?
"Must" or what? Relinquish shares? Public execution??
Who did they pay to write that?
And I thought Kroenke wanted to de-list???
Life was so much simpler under Peter Johnson

Just theoretically mate, if he wanted to sell his shares what would be his best way to get around the difficulties? How would you approach it?
It's one thing having difficulties selling his shares and not wanting to sell his shares. I wonder which it is.

Very soon there will be 50% of Everton shares available or very near that much.
Thats only like half a season ticket to them isnt it??
