Quality on FM though.

The old FMs that is.

On FM 05 I always used to poach him before he signed professional terms. He turned into an absolute beast when he hit 18.

Alisher Usmanov has further increased his stake in Premier League giants Arsenal.
Usmanov: Looking to increase his influence at Arsenal

The Russian billionaire is looking to increase his influence at Arsenal in the face of a takeover by rival investor Stan Kroenke.
Usmanov's Red & White vehicle, which he jointly owns along with business associate Farhad Moshiri, revealed it had raised its holding to more than 29 per cent.
Kroenke agreed a deal with Arsenal's main shareholders in April and executive management to take over the club and acquire a majority shareholding in Arsenal.
He now controls 67 per cent of the shares in the Gunners.

He is rich enough.

Tim Payton also made some interesting comments in the article as well, basically stating the self sustaining business model has made us uncompetitive with transfers and wages… he says,

‘It doesn’t seem right that fans are asked to dig ever deeper when we have two billionaires owning 95% of the club'

Bravo to that comment. Self sustaining for me is code for, ‘we stick it to the fans’. Too many people seem to have the idea that self sustaining is like solar panels for our clubs bank account. That money comes from us paying over the odds for tickets. I have no worries about a Billionaire taking over the club and running it their way. What would be the difference bar maybe less of a drive to squeeze every penny out of us? You know, and perhaps a shift in focus from the balance sheet to the starting 11?
