Just pointing out that he could have done anything with his mo ey. Horses. F1 Americas cup. He clearly loves football. As do all of us here. If we had a few billion Bob we too could be owning the Arsenal. Bill Gates has all the money's in the world and cares for no sport as far as I know. I know a certain Billionaire that owns a London club decked in red that doesn't give two cents for the game. We should have gone with the Uzbek. I blame Letters amongst others
