Given the way football's going, there's no point trying to assume the moral highground and keep Usmanov out. I'm not a fan of the oligarch's either, but we have a choice of either stagnation or accepting Usmanov and his investment, so that we can return to challenging for trophies again. In any case, I don't think our Old Etonian board members or Kroenke are any better than Usmanov tbh. They don't have any interest in winning trophies, surely seeing a return on their investment.

Well we don't have the money now either, the club is owned by a number of people..there's not a huge difference. At least this guy is willing to put his money where his mouth is, Kroenke isn't and I'm sick of having a board who won't invest, but also take the fans money and don't give a sh*t what they think.
At least this guy would be putting something in and trying to make us successful again.
No board does tbh and rightly so.The board don't give a toss what the fans think.
Thats down to the fans they are not forced to give thier money of they don't like this regime we all know what the board is about but fans still make that choice because they love this team.
They have the choice to stopp paying if they want too.
I agree, I'm not a fan of Oligarch money either, our board take the p*ss though and are just in it for what they can get....what do the fans get out of this? Better to have an owner who gives something to the fans in terms of signings than a board who don't and couldn't give a toss what they think.
That's rubbish.
It's not that simple is it, clearly Arsenal fans won't do that, fact is our board treat the fans like dirt....it's sad that people just accept it.
The part in bold - I agree with entirely. Despite the presence of the oligarchs, this Club could have - in fact should have had two nailed on title wins if it had invested it's resources that it generated through the fans on the playing side. That this did not happen is pretty damning on the Board and on Wenger.
To win those titles, we did not need Usmanov's money - and I don't believe we ever will need his money. What we need is an owner and a Board who are willing to maximise use of the resources the Club generates without a need for financial doping.
Yeah you have a point the way they speak to people well PHW is wrong, partly why i cancelled ny red membership cause i saw the way the club was going.
Look at those fans who pay for season tickets and don't turn up for games these are the types who let the board get away with it.
But i think this is where fans need to stop themselves been treated by mugs by cancelling tickets etc.
but they won't.
