Takeover: The nationality of our new owners will be (approximately) ?

Really hope it's Moshiri to be honest.

Why? I don't know anything about the bloke?

I agree but we could be a Villa not a City/Chelsea.

Villa have had plenty investment from their owner. We have had zero from ours. I'll take that.

Would it circumvent the ownership rules if we were taken over by Gallagher?

After meeting Usmanov in the early 90s, Moshiri became the Russian’s partner in several companies, his representative in the UK and head of Gallagher, Usmanov’s British investment company.

Chelsea and city is like a lottery win, rare. Anyone who wants to spend billions on players would pick the rs over us anyway

Just get the impression he'd have genuine intentions, I.e. Running a successful club rather than making a quick buck. Could be wrong though.

I for one welcome our new Iranian Overlord........

Not possible as the ultimate owner of Gallagher is Usmanov.

A billionaire who's bessie is an oligarch.....

I'm in.

The only way this could go wrong now is lots of ways.

Moshiri is worth £1.3 billion (43 times what Kenwright is worth).

Henry at LFC is worth £1.1 billion.

We'll have a richer owner than the reds.

You'd think if Moshiri is selling his stake in Arsenal because he wants 'a say' for his money, that him buying EFC would be a good thing as he wouldn't simply be doing so to carpetbag all the tv money & do nothing.

His accountancy background & apparent level-headedness makes him an attractive prospective buyer too. The man doesn't appear clueless.

 

[BoysInBlue]

That said his accountancy background means he'll scrutinise the books more than others before a purchase. Let's hope there's no funny loans or arrangements that put him off, as has apparently put off others.
