I've read that most Arsenal fans were delighted as there was a bit of atmosphere in the ground
Stories appearing that Kroenke has offered Usmanov over £500m for his shares. Arsenal fans are shitting themselves that Usmanov might accept and fuck off to Everton.
It wouldn’t surprise me if that happened. It’s pointless him having those Arsenal shares (apart from them being an investment opportunity and it’s clear he’s in it for more than that) as he doesn’t seem to have any say whatsoever in the running of the club. He might well be better off selling them and teaming up with his mate Moshiri.
Then again, Everton have already found a way to funnel some of Usmanov’s money into the club via his company sponsoring their Finch Farm training complex for something like £17 million a year, something that went almost totally unnoticed in the media last season.
Wow. I had no idea about the sponsorship. However, I do know of many Everton fans online claiming that our sponsorships are fake.
Re Usmanov, I am not sure he minds having shares in Arsenal, as I would have thought he is getting plenty from his dividends.
Yeah, here’s some more detail from a Guardian article back in January: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...s-alisher-usmanov-usm-holdings-farhad-moshiri
I might be on the high side with the figures which haven’t been disclosed but Usmanov is certainly putting money into Everton despite being a shareholder at Arsenal.
"If you cant beat 'em, join 'em, la." etc...Wow. I had no idea about the sponsorship. However, I do know of many Everton fans online claiming that our sponsorships are fake.
