Edleman Quits Arsenal

Edelman doesn't have many shares, but this could be a big statement of intent from Fat and Orange to buy his nominal holding. Something is certainly not quite right back there. Maybe it's unconnected to the takeover, Edelman made a stupid error by boasting about a £70m war chest in September which has been diminished by lower returns on the Highbury House redevelopment (thank you Labour party). Perhaps with it being painfully clear that the club won't have much to play with this summer, he felt his position untennable? He put the manager under unneccesary pressure. Maybe he opposes Kroenke's increasing involvement? But to be honest, it's more than likely that horrible ******** Dein is coming back and Edelman doesn't want to stick around to work with a man he clearly despised again. Edelman worked very hard to get the stadium in place despite Dein's fierce opposition. I suspect he doesn't feel up to that kind of disruptive influence again. More importantly, who do I e mail now when I want to have a bitch about something at the club????

But I don't have his e mail address! This won't do at all, I need to compl……D'OH!

A rumour I've heard from my grapevine (which kicks into action in lightspeed it must be said, don't you guys have any work to do??!!) is that Edelman opposed a looming investment.

No - Dein opposed the stadium preferring the option of renting Wembley. Edelman was a sound businessman brought in at a time when the banks and investors would have wanted to see some proven business administrator on the board. Maybe there is just less to keep him occupied now. Can't help feeling that something doesn't seem right though.

Does anyone one have an idea of what funds are available for the silly season?

I hate these stories, I hate all the uncertainty and worry it brings. Bad enuf we all have to watch while the two richest clubs control the top spots in the PL AND the CL and and think "what if?" - now this. I've noticed that in the last couple of weeks Dein has popped up in the news after a long absense from the cameras. Like most gooners I strongly oppose lowlife scumbag Usmanov or anyone like him having any stake in Arsenal. But after witnessing the mancs and chavs control the top spots in England and Europe because of the massive financial gulf, it's hard not to wonder if it's even possible anymore to fight against the "sugardaddy" concept and still win trophies. Is Dein right after all? Is that the disgusting road we have to go down to win trophies? I'm not saying that's what I want but right now it's just hard not to give in to this sense of hopelessness.

Four points behind with two games to go doesn't fill me with a sense oh hopelessness jaelle. Do we know what is happening to Edelman's shares?

Oh bloody hell, just as you thought things were settling down a bit...!! I'm with Amos - there is something that doesn't feel right about this. Has Edelman stated that he is selling his stake?
