Farhad Moshiri

They said "not counting assets" ?

Thats bizarre.

I believe Baz does in this video with the Arsenal guy

Thought I'd add a little to the Usmanov/Kroenke question.

Kroenke is currently moving his $1.45 billion valued St Louis Rams to Los Angeles. This could double the team's value. He is building a new stadium for the team in Inglewood, costing an estimated $2.7 billion.

With this on the go, I struggle to see Kroenke also looking to buy out Usmanov's £400 million share of Arsenal. I could see him selling up if he feels like he needs to concentrate on his NFL team.

But he seems like a man who likes to collect his assets, he still has interests in an NBA and MLB team (transferred to his wife due to NFL ownership rules).

So I would guess this is Moshiri going out on his own.

Kroenke isn't going to sell arsenal to focus on the rams.

I like the fact his name is similar to mine if you take the 'R' out. I guess that R makes him the billionaire. lol

Alight Moshii lad

Everyone should watch that...boss

 

[Tramps_mate]

You know how long they were discussing this mate

But, I'm not so sure it was planned for now? Was he forced to move quicker by the Americans interest?

Unless it took until Friday for Moshiri to sell up at arsenal?

Ah well. Who knows!!

Surely that figure of $2.7 billion can't be right? That's like a £1.5 billion stadium.

Dallas got a new stadium that cost $1b 10 years ago. Could be true, NFL stadia are massive, like 100,000+ capacity.

yer but $1 billion is about a £700 million which would be about right. That's more then double the cost while Steel costs have dropped.

On a side note, talking to a friend last night who works for Hill Dicks in town. He said he's heard he paid £45 million upfront with a £40 million commitment to the stadium. Neither he nor I are saying this is 100% what has happened, just something he's heard. Would it make any difference if this is what he had done? It's still a £85 million investment just half the funds have been earmarked for the stadium

.....his wife's name is Nazenin Ansari and she has a successful media career of her own. According to google links they have a couple of kids but are currently separated.

£40m isn't getting you much so I hope he has a plan.

Haha, he's taking Seamus to Vegas, getting kitted out in the same suits and rinsing the Casinos

I would be astonished if a fellow solicitor breached client confidentiality and risked losing his job and career just to give you this titbit

And to think only another £10m and we would have had Kirkby

What client confidentiality? He isn't working on it, he just heard it. If it was fact I would have said he's working on the case and knows he paid 40 million towards the stadium. Wind your neck in
