Board Sells - Kroenke Takes Control Of Club!!

[Boomer]

Well, now some are trying to say that because they didn't sell to Mr. Usmanov our Boiard weren't in it for the money



Let's see Dan Fiszman never paid more than 2K for a single share, Lady Nina inherited control of her shares never paid a penny for them, the Carr Family inherited theirs, Mr Hill-Wood inherited his, Ken Friar probably never paid more than a few hundred a share if that and at a maximum 2000 a share but holding out for 12000 a share instead of selling back in 2006 for half that was because they love Arsenal more than money.

Oh sweet Jesus our supporters can be so naive.

You spelt board wrong.

So Wenger is a victim in all this conspiracy to drive the share price up then. They certainly done a good job pulling the wool over his eyes - even u could see it all happening from the good old u s of a. I guess he was just too close to see it all happening underneath his hooter.

NOT GOOD


But that could be a little misleading: it doesn't matter where any debt finance might be secured, once he owns Arsenal outright there will be nothing to stop Kroenke taking £25m a year and more in dividends to pay for KSE's leveraged buyout. That might very well rouse the red army, for Arsenal cannot afford that kind of burden.[/b]

To be fair, Arsene has got a big nose.

You'd think he'd know....given that he must have wrote it about 2005 times.

He'd get a job as a block chopper if he ever finally gets the bullet

So much for them turning down more money because they aren't greedy

"...I’m told that the offer, which valued the stake at just under £130m, was rebuffed. That was partly on the basis that Bracewell-Smith had already given an irrevocable undertaking to Stan Kroenke, the American who this morning effectively took control of Arsenal Holdings by taking his shareholding to 62 per cent...."

Apparently Lady Nina or her representatives said they cannot accpet the improved offer because they had agree the other offer earlier, and may be unable to renege legally.

one perhaps hopeful bit from the same piece at the end


"...So he can either sell his 27 per cent shareholding for what I’m told would be a modest profit, or he can sit tight and cause a headache for Arsenal’s new owner.

I’m told that the latter option looks much more likely...."

At least that would stop a debt-leveraged takeover if true

Yes the muppets who sing "One Arsene Wenger" every game

And i am not a board apologist i blame the board and Wenger for the lack of success since 2005.

No one here is a 'board apologist' so what on earth are you on about Martin?

So if I was to have bought several £100+ shares and then some years later I was able to sell each share for within the thousands.....I don't see that being naive.

Both the Board and Wenger to blame - surely it has to be one or the other

Just as a matter of interest, I found out today that the Solicitors representing Lady Nina in this deal are the same firm that my sister works for as a Legal Secretary/PA.

I would have quizzed her about what she knows but she has been off work for the past 10 days after having an operation. Will see if she's heard any 'insider stuff' when I speak to her next.

What did she have - a serious case of the munchies

Martin, we all know the board are far from perfect but I'm quite sure they also didn't force anything on Wenger regarding tactics (or lack of them), awful substitutions, lack of defensive coaching and giving poor players improved extended contracts. Most people, if not all, on here agree that there is plenty wrong with the board but you don't seem to think Wenger has put a foot wrong and isn't accountable for the last 6 years.......that is very strange to say the least!!
