Wenger threatens to quit if usmanov gets his way 2 Years, 3 Months ago Karma: 22
Wenger has reportedly threatened to quit his position at Arsenal, if Alisher Usmanov wins the battle to control the club.

Wenger has made it clear to the board that he does not intend to remain in charge if such a takeover happens, and has hinted at a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid instead.

Another board member, Stan Kroenke, has steadily been increasing his stake in the club in recent weeks. His share currently stands just shy of the 29.99% mark at 29.90% - should he reach the former figure, he will be obligated to bid for the remaining shares in the club.

The report claims that Kroenke's motive behind boosting his stake is to edge Usmanov out, thereby protecting Wenger's postition at the Emirates Stadium.

Usmanov had claimed that the Gunners need to reinvest heavily in the squad to match the European elite stride-for-stride, consequently promising a £100 million injection if his Red and White group takeover the club.

Wenger is said to be unwilling to compromise on his principles of garnering the youth and moulding them into the stars of the future, as opposed to ushering in a 'Galactico' era in north London.

An insider said: "He [Wenger] doesn't want any owner interfering with the way he is developing the team. He has long been resistant to bringing big money signings in."

"He has a plan and everyone is seeing it come to fruition. That's not to say along the way he won't bring in some players but he will only do so on his terms. Arsene has made the board very aware of that and that he couldn't work with an owner who insists on spending big money on new players.

"As it stands Arsene is happy working with Kroenke on the board because he has shown no interest in interfering. The same can't be said for Usmanov."

I think it goes for all of us that we would prefer Kroenke than Usmanov. With Wenger declaration, it is even more crucial that we dont give Usmanov a chance to get any more shares.

frankly i m little disappointed with wenger, he should make it clear to who so ever buys the shares that he wants the continuation of the policies and money is only required when he needs to buy some star...this doesnt mke sense to threaten to quit

I think Ali is right.

By the way, I would prefer Kroenke to Usmanov, too.

this is what the media reports. may not be true.
but the point is clear that we (including the board) all prefer K to U.

It's professional football, mate. Just a matter of business. Nobody is there for reasons other than making money out of clubs. It's unavoidable.
