    Musical chairs. Usmanov can fuck off as well because he'd still keep Wenger in charge. If this were to happen it just buys Wenger more time.

    welcome if even the least it does is put a bit of spotlight on Kroenke regards the shambles at the club. can't see him selling until he's well and ready in his own good time or if he needs the capital.

    saying that I cannot see any significant further natural growth of the club without real on pitch success, i.e. PL & CL titles or final appearances ....of which financial success is a natural consequence in the form of bigger prize money, bigger sponsorship deals, more merchandising etc off the back of a successful brand. as things stand we're reliant on silly PL sponsorship. there is no way we're closing that financial gap on the top tier european giants given our static performances/finishes over the last decade.

    Yep, if Wenger's staying it doesn't matter who's taking over or how much the fans think is going to be dumped in for transfers - which I assume, is why anyone would favour this pig. Say he dumps a billion into transfers. Now Wenger has a billion quid. What a horrendous prospect.

    now that is one scary thought.

    He`d be able to buy you off NQ. Then fill the club with 2 dozen Gervinho, Sanogo and Kallstrom look alikes.

    Quite, even with unlimited funds I still think he wouldn't be able to replace Giroud, Walcott and Ramsey properly.

    I'm praying Kroenke and Wenger bugger off, wishing thinking eh?

    I can see the excuses already.

    'You know when you're out of Europe, it's hard to attract top top top top qualiteee. Not even the Chinese clubs could convince a top striker like Mbappe to join their league.'


    The one season we manage to get 19 goals from Theo, 16 from Giroud when neither have been regular starters along with 28 from Sanchez but still fuck things up. He somehow manages to rotate problems.

    No he doesn't get any direct cash but the ownership of the shares themselves are an asset
