"And sources close to the chairman suggest the plan now is for him to work with Moshiri to deliver a new stadium, and then look to sell the club, either to Moshiri himself, or to third party investors like the Chinese consortiums who retain an interest" quote from the mirror.

I think this is a solid plan as Bill can make sure the choices are made are in best interest for the club and fans as a whole as compared with a full takeover now which would allow them to do anything.

If it goes that way it's the perfect scenario.

So for the next 2 years or so we can expect to languish back down the League as we were prior to the Moyes era.

moshiri sat on arsenals board for there stadium move and wasn't happy with his 25% how long will he remain happy sharing the limelight here with us with Kenwright or someone new.

What are you talking about, Duncansmum? Why would that be a biproduct of a new stadium? If you're referring to the way Arsenal had to sell off there best players and work on a small budget, you'd know that Moshiri was highly critical of it in his open letter to the club.

Can people stop being so miserable? Certainly not talking about everyone, but this is the most excited I've been about this club in years. Obviously there's risk in a new owner/ shareholder, but there's a risk in literally everything that's ever happened, all about mitigation, which Kenwright's done incredibly well at.

Patience is required.

The Stadium issue is the most important in terms of the long term plan.

I'm confident this guy will deliver.

Just my thoughts but I've got a feeling Mr Ustinov may raise his head in the future.

He now owns 30% of arsenal and has spent millions and has NO influence in the running of that club.
Then his long time partner. expertise in Finance buys the largest stake in EFC.
News then comes through about opportunities to increase that stake in the future.

Bill could now well justify uttering those words 'WATCH THIS SPACE '

We've all been crying out for investment for years. Now that it's here you moan and look for negatives.

Duncansmum you need to cheer up bud. Exciting times ahead!

I like that theory Lance about Usmanov, not Peter Ustinov though mate as he always has his head in the stars, may part with his 30% then buy the other half of us later this year, dreaming.
