  • Maybe, just maybe, Bow had had enough of his "Caretaker" name badge and decided it was time for a showdown with RD.

    ie I'm on my bike if you don't honour your "promise"(?) to appoint me permanent manager at the start of this season.

    This, together with a succinct email from the EFL telling our very own Rat that he needed to get his house in order ASAP, may have culminated in today's decision to bite the bullet.
  • Usmanov to buy us?so says daily mirror on Newsnow report
  • Story in The Mirror online by Darren Lewis that Usmanov is considering buying Charlton using the £600m he got for his Arsenal shares,says hes seen our potential. Also says hes decided not to invest in Everton. Im rubbish at the linky thing,sorry.

    This I could agree with, all things considered. But being worth 12B, if we are to become a play thing make it a successful one. Don't put fresh batteries in, let us run to the corner of the room and be forgotten about.

  • Dusackofshit immediately doubles his asking price.
  • Stage 1 @Scoham and from a national paper.

    Buckle up, the rollercoaster is about to start again.

    Shitweasel held out for ages before giving LB the job full-time. It just has the feel of 'looks like I'm here for the season' about it to me.

    What worries me is that he may well be losing money hand over fist due to his massive ego and inability to recognise his failure, but that ego appears to be so big and capable of so much self delusion, I can just see him putting his hands in his ears and shouting 'la-la' for the next few years and just ignoring us. The losses he would make on selling our club aren't that big a deal to the likes of him, I'm afraid, especially when selling for less than his ridiculously over-inflated price means having to admit to himself that he screwed up - and his delusional egotism simply won't allow it.

    What a shit business. Fuck off Shitweasel.

  • Dusackofshit immediately doubles his asking price.

    He's halved it if you go by the Mirror report, which quotes £20M. Suspect that is lazy journalism.

    Definitely lazy journalism. No way he'd accept £20m after holding on for so long (hope they're right though).

    With his cash he wouldn't notice with a club our size. By the time he's paid the say 40m for the club and 10m on players/losses, he would've earned it back in interest. At the very least the water would be reconnected.
  • Rumour around for a while has been that Murray had tried to get to Usmanov via David Dein.

    I would imagine Duch would agree a much lower price on the promise of a pay out in the event of promotion once/twice. A realistic possibility.

    “Usmanov criticized Arsenal's lack of ambition and financial model in an open letter sent to the board on 5 July 2012. This criticism came as consequence of the Dutch football player Robin van Persie's decision not to extend his contract. Usmanov, who remains a major shareholder, states that he has no intention of selling his shares. A month later, he reiterated his view that "the current politics of the club's management" were in part responsible for Arsenal's failure to win trophies. On the 7th of August 2018 it was reported that Usmanov had accepted a bid of 600m for his shares at Arsenal.”

    Usmanov, not Trump.

    Wasn't this mentioned about 500 pages ago?
  • See Usmanov is set to sell his share in Arsenal. Was he not linked with Charlton recently?

    Henry likes a cryptic clue and has a Union Jack badge.
    Redhenry says close to Man City rich and foreign.

    I give you, Britain’s richest man...

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2312348/Alisher-Usmanov-UKs-richest-man-Arsenal-FC-owning-oligarch-Uzbekistan-worth-13-3bn.html

    Dragging his feet because he is waiting for Kroenke to buy his Arsenal stake before he can buy us....

    2+2 = me very excited - and almost certainly wrong, but hey it is fun.

    Whatever, Nasri and Song won’t hang around for our contract offers forever even though they are Charlton fans so get it done RD.

    Hmm, Usmanov you say... wonder whom on this board mentioned him way back on Page 426? James Seed, NLA, Doucher, Red Henry, Airman, Errikke Bakke... you boys took a hell of a beating.. seems I am the only man in the know around here :wink: . Love it when a plan guess comes together.

    Anyway, I predict at least 400 posts on this matter between now and me checking in on Saturday morning after a day at the cricket tomorrow only to find out it is just The Mirror making up a story to fill coloumn inches.

    Arsenal fans hated him because they only got into Europe every year and didn't win the every trophy going.
  • Hmm, an amusing story. Do I believe it, probably not...

    So would everyone be happy for this to happen, in the unlikely event?
