United will beat Real, I fancy Arsenal to slap Bayern too, Podolski will love to score a few.

But they cant actually see me

I think we really need to sort out our defence issues if we have any chance of progressing

I can see real and Bayern going through. You can poke the bear, but he won't like it

I honestly feel we can turn over Bayern. If we build on the game we played vs Reading and make signings in January I don't see why we cannot progress.

Usmanov Ready to Take Control of Arsenal

Sure he is ready, Shares aren't there though.

Ronnie to score the winner

Anyway this sunday sees the only day of the year I will be anti-United

I thought Lady Bracwell whatever her name is was going to sell her shares to Usmanov though? And is a money laundering drug baron really the sort of person Arsenal fans want running their club? I would stop supporting them if they ever let Usmanov get 100% control of the club.

Lady Nina sold her shares to Stan a while back.

I don't like Usmanov either. Ideal scenario would be the club is owned by the fans or a collection of people as it was before.

Nice to see that a leopard never changes his spots.

Dunno how I missed that, so Usmanov has no-one willing to sell him their shares then? I can't see fans willing to part with their shares to let an outsider into the club.

The fans don't own enough anyway. It's like 2/1% belong to the fans now.

there are a few that are selling to Usmanov having successfully negotiated a price for each share. Usmanov is offering more for each share than Stan did or has.

From a business point of view and overall fee for everything... so long as Usmanov buys that 1 share that put him dead 30% is cheaper than the rest he'll be ok. What I mean by that is whatever price Usmanov pays for that 1 share that puts him dead 30% will be the price he'll have to offer for each remaining share. Basically rules state Usmanov will have to put in a bid to take over once he reaches 30% and whatever price he paid for that share that took him to 30% will be the price he'll have to offer everyone for the takeover bid.

EDIT: Misread what you said. He can make an offer but Stan won't have to accept.
