  1. #1

    Billionaire Usmanov Re-Elected Head of World Fencing Federation

    With a fortune estimated at $17.4 billion by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Usmanov has plowed millions of dollars into fencing through a dedicated charity fund.

    The federation almost doubled its budget during Usmanov’s first term to as much as 24.5 million Swiss francs ($26.2 million), it said today in a statement. It’s seeking to increase the number of Olympic fencing medal events at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro games to 12 from 10, according to the statement.



    and they wonder why i prefer this guy to own our club rather than stan.....our boards propaganda cant forever scare ppl into believing usmanov wants to destroy arsenal....all his business and other involvements are absolute success ....why would he destroy arsenal...it makes no sense

    this could be us in 2015....."arsenal almost doubled their budget during Usmanov’s 3 years at the club" lets hope so...lets also hope wenger is still here by then

    Why are you howling for ***** FREE MONEY **** from the alleged rapist when

    impending FFP rules make such things impossible. And when has the Giant Slug ever unambiguously offered the club **** FREE MONEY ****?

    The only thing he's ever lunged at was the buffett at the TOAC event

    TOAC = Thieving Oligarchs Annual Conference

    We're asking Robin van Persie for money?

    ffp wont work ashberto....and usmanov will spend...it is obvious

    he also has a feeling for the game, you can clearly see he was a spartak moscow fan as a kid. how he talks, how he backs wenger, how he invites fans, he wants to be more popular than abramovic.


    my advice to stan would be sell while you can get a decent price....if wenger leaves and we miss out on CL football....your share price will go down...and then you have to spend money to make us CL club again....it wont be pretty

    Robin's charges were dropped. Usmanov went to prison, but was exonerated

    under the subsequent regime change that also saw him astonishingly aquire out of thin air a major portion of the mineral resources of the former Soviet Union.

    Ho hum. Perhaps he'd saved up to be an oligarch from his paper round. Yes, that probably explains it.

    He is a Man United fan, who started accumulating shares in Arsenal because he expected to take a

    dividend from his ownership.

    If he intends to bankroll us with free money why has he never said that this is what he will do?

    He has threatened legal hell on anyone that publishes details of his shady past, and jumps opportunistically on situations like Robin's departure to try and gain political capital.

    Is QI terms, he sets all the claxons off as being the 'obviously wrong answer' to AFC.

    Of course Kronke was always a huge Arsenal fan, used to play soccer against the wall marts.

    Not too many people are happy with Kronke's ownership, but he is a better option than Jabba The Hut
