Usmanov shares bid may spark power struggle at Arsenal

its a stated aim of usmanov for arsenal to pay dividends to the shareholders, so why does anyone think he is not in it for the money, thank god kroenke has stuck with the rule of previous boards and put all profits back into the club and not out to shareholders.

if you follow the news uzmanov is not at all happy with the state of our club’s current form and i feel for football clubs to do well you need an owner that is passionate about his club winning silverware and care about the belief and also felling of the fans of the club which i think is what is lacking at arsenal. I feel that this man can bring this to arsenal, reunite the fan and supporters and not what we have now sitting at the head of affairs. the truth is that arsenal need a mixture of the two making profit and winning silverware.         

He is at least a football fan. As in football, not soccer as Kroenke would know it. In my book this means Usmanov understands what Arsenal Fans are feeling and have a better idea about what we want. He’ll know about the players throughout Europe, he’ll know the real differences between clubs and he’ll understand the impact of Derby loses because Moscow will have a Derby match too. Kroenke is the owner, what he does is down to him. He doesn’t have to understand anything other than profits if that’s his thing, does he?

From a football perspective, Usmanov will be a “football fan” … Kroenke will be a business man.

I know that oil can look dirty and grubby. I also know that it is enriching and highly profiable. Anyway, what crime has the man commited?

The reason this is a story: If Usmanov can get over 30% he will gain the right to look at the books, the accounts, all the wages of all the staff and the wage structure itsxelf. He will have the right to see all the revenue from every commercial venture and most importantly the transfer money.

This will mean he can tell us what is REALLY going on behind the scenes. He doesn’t have to pander to Wenger or Kronke, so he’ll tell it how it is. This is why it’s news.

When the excuses are made by the club, Usmanov can add his input and let us see the REAL reasons. This will let everyone see the root of the problems.

I feel quite excited about it. Either we’ve been lied to for years or we’ll discover the club is being run in the best way it can. The only way we’ll find out is if Usmanov gets over 30%.  He is working his way through the register and this raises a smile, if only for the way it can potentially shake things up.

If we were relegated in May, I would still love my club and never support another. The politics behind the scenes amuse me. I’m grateful to Wenger for what he’s achieved, but the only reason I want him to stay is because his leaving would change nothing besides for the worse – plus I can’t think of a single person who could replace him. He’ll be gone one day. So will Ferguson at United. Things change and sometimes for the better, sometimes not. As an Arsenal fan, I’m used to disappointment … and I’m used to seeing change … I’m just waiting for it.

precisely why the emirates is quiet and lacks passion, the true fans are being replaced by glory hunting morons who will follow the Edmonton Greenbay Packers if they were the number 1 gridiron team ….shocking truly shocking admission..yes you would have the spending power of Chelsea and with it the influx of super rich fans who would replace you in a heartbeat…and when it is lying in tatters and broken in 2 decades you will be supporting the next mega wealthy club whilst the loyal fans who you clearly have no care for will bale the club out of the shit whilst you support the new  Lea Valley Ice Hockey team who have billions..

Were or are all players that play for their clubs fans & suporters of that club? your logic is pointless!
