Stan Kroenke has made it plain that he doesn’t want to sell the two-thirds of Arsenal that he owns. He has repeatedly said that he’s never sold a share in any of his sports clubs in his life. When he first bought into Arsenal and joined the Board, this statement was seen as a good…

Alex Ferguson has been interviewed defending Arsene Wenger. The first point here is that football managers nearly always defend other football managers, never think they should be sacked and usually proclaim what a great job they’re doing even if it’s blatantly untrue. So pinch of salt required with all managerial utterances of this nature. As…

Who is Alisher Usmanov? He’s a billionaire from Uzbekistan in the former Soviet Union, though often referred to as Russian, who owns all of Red And White Holdings, among many other things. He used to share Red And White with business partner Farhad Moshiri, who has since departed to buy 49.9 per cent of Everton.…

Well bugger me with a fishfork. The record price for an Arsenal share wasn’t broken for five years and now it’s been smashed for the second time in a couple of weeks. On 27 March the record reached £17,750, after being at £17,500 since September 2012. Today a share was traded for £18,250. This nominally…

There is a lot of speculation on this topic and a lot of contradictory information – but very few hard facts. The club leak info to selected journalists, Arsène himself makes statements then contradicts them later, and occasionally a Board member will say something in public. I view all of these as unproven and potentially…

The 31st of March is the anniversary of the death of David Rocastle in 2001, one of Arsenal’s most popular and talented players of the modern era. Rocastle’s Arsenal career was ended way too early for most, but that is insignificant compared to the fact that he lost his life through cancer at the tragically…

There are two entries for Arsenal shares on the NEX exchange today, 27 March 2017, both for £17,750. This is a new record price for a single share – previously it was £17,500, first reached on September 7th 2012, and last paid just two months later on November 13th. Since then the price dropped as…

The last week for Arsenal has defeat to a title rival (again), a thrashing by Bayern Munich (again) and fan protests about the manager, the Board and the direction of the club (again). In response Arsenal took the rare step of making a statement. Purportedly this came from Chairman Sir Chips Keswick (insert eye-rolling emoji).…

What does Arsène Wenger need to do to deserve a new contract? Some would say it’s too late and he’s amply demonstrated that he can’t win the big prizes anymore, so whatever he does now is irrelevant: he must go anyway. But I beg to differ. Although I’m often critical of the man, bear in…

I got tired of seeing people claim that Arsène Wenger’s greatest achievement was keeping Arsenal in the top 4 for so long during the ‘difficult’ years after 2006, so I conducted a twitter poll to see how many thought – like me – that an unbeaten league season is a greater achievement. Here’s the result.…
