Stan Kroenke has increased his share holding in Arsenal Football Club in the last few days as well as Usmanov (Red and White Holdings) who are both trying to make a full take over for the club by buying shares from anywhere at £8.500 a go, personally i would prefer Stan the man to buy out Usmanov and if he does go for the full takeover, but it means we will then  become an Americal club rather than an English Club.

Even though Hill Wood is a minority shareholder he is still the Chairman of Arsenal Football Club at this moment in time thus keeping us an English club.
