Arsenal have welcomed American billionaire Stan Kroenke onto their board as a non-executive director as they attempt to stave off a potential takeover from Uzbek oligarch Alisher Usmanov.

Stan Kroenke: Arsenal's unexpected knight in shining armour.
The billionaire owner of Kroenke Sports Enterprises holds 12.4% of shares in Arsenal Holdings PLC and his appointment marks a thaw in the relationship between himself and Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood. However, Kroenke has not signed up to the 'lockdown' agreement drawn up by board members last year which prevents the trading of shares without the consent of fellow directors.
Following Kroenke's initial investment in April 2007 Hill-Wood famously remarked that Arsenal did not want "his sort"; but the club's directors have been establishing closer links with the American since Russian billionaire Usmanov, the club's largest shareholder, began raising his stake in the club to 24.9%.
In a statement released on Friday morning the Gunners hierarchy claimed Kroenke was fully behind their business model - a thinly-veiled attack on the owner-funded approach that would come with an Usmanov takeover.
Let's get started for all things Arsenal...
somehow arsene wenger seems to have the midas touch. most youngsters he buy can turn into superstars. amazing!
did not catch the match but read the match reviews and watched the goals online.
have to caution that so far, we beat West Brom, Newcastle, Blackburn and Bolton and LOST to Fulham. In all respect to these teams, we should be having 15 points not 12 points now. I expect Arsenal to continue to cruise till November when we will meet ManUre, Aston Villa, ManCity and Chow$i.
too early to smell the roses.
Yes, u r rite, he is really an expert in grooming youngsters and also unknown player.
