Farhad Moshiri

Its some Arsenal fans blog lads, id be chilling on that link.

It's hard to imagine someone forking out £400m for his Arsenal shares, but you can see the plausibility of him joining Moshiri at Everton, provided he can find a buyer. It would really project us into the big time.

Usmanov is seeing his mate actually getting to play with the trainset he's invested in.

Meanwhile he sits in the Directors box at the Emirates as an inert entity with no say whatsoever.

It'd be no surprise if that is making him more likely to sell up and move on.

Dont even think he sits in the directors box as he`s not a director.....they wont let him on the board

I've said this before on here, do people really think this oligarch gave his accountant a billion quid and then that was the end of it?
It was Usmanov's money which bought the club, the rest is just details, and the Mosh will do whatever his geezer tells him to.

Looks like this would rely on Kroenke buying his shares at the Gooners.

Exciting little rumour though!

 

[Kev50]

I don't get why he'd struggle to sell his shares. it all depends on what price he's asking for surely? and given how well Arsenal is run, surely they would be a good investment for anyone wanting to earn a few bob

My understanding of this rumour is that Wenger's lack of spending is part of a plan to get the balance sheet to a place where Kroenke can borrow against the club to buy all the shares. The company rules state you can't use the club's money to buy the shares, but you can borrow against it.



A lot of info out there if you google Arsenal ownership.

Think the problem Usmanov would have is, Kroenke doesn't have to buy the shares because he is already head Honcho, they supposedly hate each other, so I bet Kroenke loves Lording it over Usmanov knowing he can't do zilch at the club. Also, whoever bought Usmanov's shares would be exactly in the same position, no say on what goes on at the club, no seat on the board, seems a lot of money to pay out to have no influence whats so ever.

Unless its a friend an acquaintance of Stan who buys them

 

[Julius Geezer]

Arsenal fans would surely buy the shares as an individual investment , similar to how a lot of Evertonians own individual shares in Everton .

My ITK is hearing little on this lads, but he is hearing a new player could be in tomorrow for medical

Can you please just... stop?

 

[Wat Tyler]

Maybe Moshiri doesn't want Usmanov on board, I thought it was always a case of Moshiri doing his own thing, having his own club. Usmanov coming along, friends as they are, would take some of that away from him.

 

[davek]

As soon as he ended Roberto's ruinous reign I knew he was the saviour we had hoped for. In one fell swoop he brought Nil Satis back alive again and ended the nightmare.

You can make that remark at the end of this season when we have our new record points total.

 

[bluestevon]

What would it really change? It's not as though we're short of money? We could buy anyone we want if it was just the transfer fee. The issue is increasing our revenue so we can lift the ceiling on our players wages. The only way to do this is via a new stadium, regular CL, increasing sponsorship deals. Unless Usmanov brings with him a shirt sponsorship deal worth tens of millions then his personal wealth in the transfer market will be useless. Unless Usmamov can suddenly make CL players want to play for a club in 11th place in the league or make the various governing bodies relax their regulations around financial fair play then his potential arrival would have no impact over what Moshiri is already doing for us.

Wrong mate, comparing the wealth Moshiri has to Usmanov and thinking it wouldn't make that much of a difference is daft frankly.

Can we buy anyone we want now transfer fee wise? Any evidence - not really, rumours of a 35m bid for koulibaly etc is the top we've been offering according to any real source, wages - we have a 1m increase allowed right now, but we are going with a 135k ow top wage and won't use that allowance meaning we have a self imposed glass ceiling on what our spending power can attract.

Usmanov makes Abramovic look the way moshiri makes kenwright financially, and every agent, club and player with half a brain would realise that any club he took control off would be set for an absolutely seismic future.

He is also far more able and liklely to self-sponsor hugely a club he owned something moshiri hasn't the capability of doing to the same degree.

Any club he took over within 2-3 years maximum would be part of the City, Chelsea, United club. That's how big a hiiter this bloke is.
