Exactly Lex. I'm proud of the way we USED to run the club, but now it's become a joke. If they kept up the standards of the team and as well as being financially prudent, we'd be in better shape.
So that would suggest that the bid from the Arabs exists?
===================
Apparently it is not from any Arab consortium but from Usmanov himself using a third-party.
Well Lex, I would love to see both. It could be done.
Bayern Munich is the best example.
J99 seems to think the bid from 'the Arabs' was just a smokescreen for Usmanov to test the water, gt.
Whether that's the case is anyones guess...
Lex,
We definitely read the same article!
Apparently it is not from any Arab consortium but from Usmanov himself using a third-party.
If that is true IAWT then yes Usmanov in please. He would spend money. I am absolute sure of this.
Pete with another pathetic comment this morning.
Yeah looks that way, IAWT!
Anyway, even if Usmanov were to come in, doesn't necessarily mean he'll start spending tons of money straight away.
However, he's said he'd pay off the stadium debt... it'd basically ring-fence our best players, (no one, not even Barca or City would be able to pinch them off us anymore)... and he'd definitely give Arsene the money - and with it no excuse to hide behind - to bring in two or three top TOP quality players, (easier to do if we've CL football next season, of course).
I know Pete, but I think Usmanov is so keen to show what he's about, (not to mention so f/ckin' rich) he'd take the hit from the interest repayment penalties, just to get us all onside.
It would work too.
We cant just pay off the debt. We have a deal with the banks to pay it off over a number of years. It will get paid off in 2030....
---------------------------
Technically, we can but this mean the bank will add an extra (considerable) cost.
The question is whereas Usmanov is ready to "swallow" that cost.
Lex, all what I am reading about Usmanov suggsts that he would spend money in the team. So let's hope that the fecking Yankees piiiss off soon.
"why does a fat russian usiness man support arsenal?"

You spelt 'current European champions Chelsea' wrong.
Why does a scottish moaning little priick support Arsenal?
Pete, you constantly moan about Giroud and Ramsey, but seem dead set against someone that might actually invest decent money in the squad...
Seems... odd.
