Not good news for Gooner fans. Not good news at all.

Arsenal fans fear their club will be run from America if Alisher Usmanov sells his stake to US majority shareholder Stan Kroenke.
The Financial Times reported this morning that Usmanov is actively exploring the sale of his 30.4 per cent share in Arsenal after accepting that Kroenke will never sell full control to him.
Russian billionaire Usmanov failed with a £1bn takeover bid to buy out Kroenke in May last year and has become frustrated at not having a seat on the board or any say over the running of the club. He turned down Kroenke’s £525m offer for his shares in October.
Kroenke owns a 67 per cent stake in Arsenal and there are fears that if he acquires the club outright then it could lead to a reduction in transparency.

Listening to Robbie on AFTV and he was repeating speculation that Usmanov could take his money, follow to and join forces with Moshiri at Everton. If so Arsenal's loss will be Everton's gain and we could very well see Chelsea v2 up there with Usmanov in control.
