Pretty sure a Chinese group would buy his shares with no problems at all.

I reckon any Chinese buyers would be wanting a say in how things are run mate.

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

72?

Surely you can wait another 2 weeks to decide if you have faith in the future. The club don't have to tell us fans anything before these things are done. Companies don't tell their lads they have a contract until it is signed and sealed, that's how disappointment and resentment builds.

I have an opinion that's diametrically opposed to that ^^^ cap in hand mentality where Everton are concerned.

You start out from a point where the owners of this club are supreme entities and shouldn't be questioned; I see them as lucky gets who through finances are able to determine how the club evolves, and for that privilege they have to acknowledge that they are not sovereign, that they are there to service the ambitions of supporters and should recognise their subservient role to the community as a whole.

Its previously been said on here that he won't sell up because he's happy at Arsenal and he wants to pass it on to his family, I'm pretty sure there are quotes too.

Wouldn't that discount the argument that is such a bad investment that not a single fund in the world would buy into that? it can't be both can it.

Fairly sure those quotes are attributed to Kroenke if I remember right. Usmanov would love to get out but can't.

 

[orly]

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.

while I don't believe Usmanov is genuinely interested in getting on board with El Everton, he'd be absolutely powerless to stop the bolded bit here. Usmanov made him what he is today

 

[MIKE85]

He bought more shares at Arsenal a few months ago. Don't think he's that eager selling his shares. People are gladly clutching at straws.

It'd have to be 73. Just 72 to go.

They are in the open letter from Usmanov & Moshiri

Nope that's wrong, some arsenal shares came on the market a few months back and kroenke bought them, usmanov showed zero interest .

Only time he increased his shareholding was by buying out moshiri in r&w holdings.

And when we achieve 73 or higher, will you then do us all the honour of ceasing the love-in with Roberto Martinez ?

I look forward to that mate. It'd mean we got a CL place.

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

Arsenal did have a fanshare scheme where fans could buy a share in the club, but it's now been closed down.

The interesting bit was where it says Fans would be able to buy a shares for £15/16, instead of the normal cost of £15/16k!

My lay mans view on this is that the ownership of Arsenal Football Club is considerably different from that of other clubs in English football. It is owned by a parent company, Arsenal Holdings plc, which has relatively few shares which are infrequently traded. Historically, the club has been owned by descendants of the Bracewell-Smith and Hill-Wood families, but since 2007 the club has attracted outside interest and two rival tycoons have acquired significant share holdings. As of 1 July 2011, the majority shareholder in the club is the American Stan Kroenke, who holds 66.64% of the parent company. His rival, the Russian-Uzbek Alisher Usmanov, owns 30.05%.[1] Under Takeover Panel rules, Kroenke must in due course make an offer for every available share in the club.[2]

Whilst I accept the principle of a football club owner being merely a custodian in many ways, that highlighted sentence is la la Dave.

A football club owner isn't there to service the ambitions of supporters with his own cash. If they choose to do so then the supporters are dragged along for the ride, but barring a handful of clubs, the professional clubs in this country are largely run within their own financial limits. Owners have no responsibility to the fanbase to do so though, neither should they be somehow subservient
