As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

As the report suggests he's Nigeria's preodminant industrialist for the last 4 decades.
This is a serious businessman. No flies on him.
Yet, folks would rather have an investor with a far more dubious past.
And you betray yourselves by saying: "Excuse the racial stereotypes...", just be honest and say you're highlighting a racial stereotype.
isnt there something like 10million arsenal fans in nigeria
read somewhere that arsenal have the biggest following among nigerians , maybe this guy is a gooner ,
definitly no history of corruption or even just a bit of blood on his hands then
There's corruption everywhere. How much he's done we don't know. You haven't even provided any evidence of such activity.
But your ignorance gets the better of you.
What we do know is that he's a serious businessman and shouldn't be laughed out of town.

Ironic considering your avatar...
How so?
Because you have been very quick to dismiss a proven businessman based on the rumours from a discredited embassy employee thats why Has nigeria, as a business community, got a record that is any cleaner than russia ? I dont think so yet you have taken a view to oppose this guy anyway which totally smacks of inconsistancy......either you are open minded about all proven business people or you are not but dont pick and choose based on morality

serious businessman...Gaydamak, son of Arkady..convicted criminal,...bank roller of Sacha(allegedly)...former owner of portsmouth Fc
serious businessman and oligarch....Abramowich...owner of former national industries....ownership gained through seriously dubious ripping of russian publi and dodgy backhander(allegedly)...present owner of CSKA London
serious businessman and now billionaire(allegedly)...Al-Fayed...proferrer of brown envelopes to dodgy tories for privilege...questionable(by the City) source of wealth...possible front for other arabian businesmen...owner of Fulham FC
serious manager and tactician(allegedly) ....Twitchy no explanation needed here.
What do they all have in common, more success than we have had in the last 5 years......sounds like we're just joining the club....we'e already got a convicted fraudster(not allegedly) owning over 25% of the club another dodgy owner is hardly going to make a blind bit of difference.
Before anyone says anything about Fulham, they've achieved more with their small squad than we have and the scum have won a trophy more recently than we have, whilst twitchy has given them their best finish for years.

The Nigerian I used to work with who got sacked for "amending" his exam results....
A country seemingly always teetering on the edge of civil war.....
I know nothing about this guy......but any mention of Nigeria would make me walk away!
Read McMafia, most online fraud is committed by easter european syndicates especially russian but no big media uproar about that.
Russia is still notoriously corrupt as is India and trying cutting through the beaurocratic corrupt bollocks that goes on in Italy. FFS their prime minister should be a convicted corrupt official but don't see Watchdog doing a piece on it.
Just because the daily Telegraph and the Mail tell you a country is about to sink into civil war doesn't make it true.
I used to work with a Dentist who wanted to pay his nurse to marry his gay lover from Brazil, just to get him residency in London...the dentist was from Cambridge...hope no east anglian decides to buy shares...you might want to walk away from the club.
The first half of your last sentence is the bit you should concentrate on...might be a good idea to find out a bit more about him don't you think...Fear always springs from ignorance

I think that's probably proof enough for me, as to whether Fulham are owned by arabs!!
