I've read elsewhere that the deal is dead with the Americans, can't say I'm surprised or disappointed, they look like asset strippers and I imagine some of our financial arrangements would make anyone with an eye on making a fast buck run a mile.

Can someone explain where, aside from the typical Evertonian woe betide us attitude, half the support has gotten the idea that they're asset strippers? Seriously give me one example from the Padres of where they stripped assets in the time where they owned them, because I'd have to look up the dictionary definition but I'm pretty sure building them a huge asset (the stadium) and not stripping a single asset from the club (Might I add at this point that we have no assets to strip anyway) does not meet the mark when it comes to textbook asset stripping.

Would need someone new to come in for arsenal. Kroenke is the majority shareholder and is privately funding the majority of a $2bn stadium for his NFL team he just relocated to LA. Can't see him having the money to buy up that guys 15%. Of course with arsenals sustained success making CL and new owner it probably wouldn't be hard to find takers

Kroenke's wife is a Walton, he's not short on cash

Bear in mind the company holding 18,695 Arsenal shares (30.04%) is only half owned by Usmanov, the other 50% owned by Farhad Moshiri, so any disposal of Arsenal shares would need Moshiri's approval, and they work very closely together - there's never been an indication by either party of their willingness to sell their Arsenal holdings,(even after the dispute over Kroenke paying himself £3 million a year for the last two accounting periods.) In fact, Usmanov would like to increase that holding if possible.
 

We are not that lucky to get a billionaire who wants to make us the best in Europe,we unfortunately missed that opportunity when Kenwright pulled the rug from Sheikh Mansour's attempt to buy us

Agreed mate, was just speculating. Usmanov wants to own/control a club and has been blackballed by the American at Arsenal for years now. Kenwright's big mates with David Dein who still has huge contact with Arsenal. What's stopping the idea of buying Everton being floated in front of this character apart from this board's utter inertia/apathy....
