    Like the title.

    You’re right, I’d hate to see my club go by the way of Chelsea, and Usmanov only wants more money.

    Peter Hill-Wood, the Arsenal chairman, announced that club directors would only sell their stake to “permitted persons” before April 2009 and had to give fellow board members ‘first option’ until October 2012. However, there was a termination clause in the agreement in October 2010.
