On a serious note I thought it was Stan Kroenke that the Arsenal fans hated and would have preferred him selling his stock to Usmanov? - Its all very confusing as Arsenal fans are like women on their monthlys and go through a phase of hating everyone
Well I hope it doesn’t happen before our trip to Bradford next Saturday, I don’t want a bunch of celebrators deciding to attend thus spoiling my quiet day out with dear friends.
With all due respect to RedHenry, I’m sure he hears quite a lot of stuff in regards to players that filters throughout the club and training ground and it’s usually spot on, but the top level stuff id imagine only a couple of people really know what’s happening.
Can’t remember which page but that photo of the Aussies in the directors box.. wasn’t there a bloke that looked the spit of Usmanov, sparking a debate about whether he was involved?
Any chance it was actually him?
Furthermore, if it was him, and he is involved in the Aussie bid, does that explain the holdups due to rumours of a member’s involvement in another club?
Redhenry understands too, which is good enough for me.
He said he’d heard this morning, which could just mean the person tht told him picked up a Mirror. I’d love it to be true but the story looks like a page filler.
Meanwhile , back on planet earth, we are playing Wanderers tomorrow and not our directors favourite Wanderers in the third tier of English football. I refuse to get excited until scarfy makes an appearance.
Haven’t read the posts on here recently, sounds like it’s already been said. Heard this morning Usmanov in and bringing Everton players on loan. That’s all I know atm

@Redhenry can you give any more info on what stage this interest is at?

The Usmanov stuff has been mentioned by people at the business end, rather than as gossip at the training ground or around the club, as something that had been explored by Murray via David Dein. However, there was nothing to suggest it had gone anywhere, i.e. that Usmanov was actually interested, which is why I have never written about it.
Stories come about in all sorts of ways, but I seriously doubt a national newspaper would publish this about a high-profile figure in the game just because it had been speculated about on Charlton Life as has been suggested. That doesn't mean it has substance and will happen, but it is out there in the real football world, which is quite small. There is also the Keith Harris connection at Everton.
