***SPOILERS*** Football 09-11 Apr 2010/2011

Of course you can book a player after an advantage has been played. If he should have been sent off then the advantage doesn't change anything.
 
Errm, apparently Kroenke is wrapping up a deal to buy 16% more of Arsenal's shares, which will go well beyond the point he would formally have to table a bid for a full takeover...........

:o :o :o

Apparently the fat Russian guy buying another few shares getting closer to mark himself has started the ball rolling.


EDIT:- Kronke is worth 1.9billion, Arsenal are valued at 610million but would cost more than that to buy I believe though he already owns 29% or so. So thats a huge chunk of his change to invest in Arsenal, though of course his wife owns a shedload of Walmart and is worth, dunno, see anything from 3 to 20billion, and growing. I don't know too much about him, does he tend to invest heavily when he takes a club over?

Agree.

My way of thinking is that, seeing as he effectively didn't stop a goal scoring opportuniy (as there was another player coming in to score the goal), then he should have been shown a yellow card after the goal, not red.

I can't say I know too much about the whole thing, but I've always been a little bit suspicious of Usmanov, I don't know why, he just seems a bit dodgy. Kroenke's NHL team have had a few dire seasons lately, I don't think they've made any big name signings but I guess you can't compare a hockey team and a football team. I don't watch the MLS at all so no idea how the Rapids are doing. :(

Am I missing the point here? The ref can book players retrospectively after playing an advantage, so why couldn't he have punished Lehmann after the goal had been scored? :confused:

Because, despite his efforts, he didn't deny the goalscoring opportunity. Blackpool scored.

Obviously Russian Mafia.

I thought no one was allowed to take control of our club untill 2012 or something like that??? :confused:

Never heard anything about 2012, there was someone saying they didn't think it would be for a minimum amount of time because if either were forced to make a buy out offer for every share it had to be at the highest price within the previous 6 months, and because some shares were sold quite high, they thought they'd definately put it off for a while.

Sky Sports
Sky sources understand that Kroenke has come to agreement with fellow shareholders Danny Fiszman and Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith to purchase their shares.

Fiszman and Bracewell-Smith both own 16 per cent, and if Kroenke confirms those deals then under stock market rules, a takeover bid would be triggered.

So he's supposedly set to buy, not 100% sure from the wording 16% each or 16% total between them. Either way he owns 29.9% as it is, and the buy out trigger is at 29.99% so 16 or 32% will take him to the point he has to offer for the rest anyhow.

I don't mind how he runs the club, I have no desire for us to have to spend, nor against us spending. People who insist people "buy" a title are deluded, no one, but no one puts in sustained title fights without MASSIVE spending, short term, long term, it doesn't matter its still spending and transfer fee's are the smaller component of spending towards a title, wages are hugely higher over the long term than transfer fee's.

I just have no idea what Kroneke's style is, spend, invest, or run as a profitable business, run as best as possible profitable if possible but won't sacrifice success for profit. We'll see, would probably be a good business move to get a few decent american players to Arsenal along with a new fan base.

I don't get MOTD, what did he say?

I thought they were unlucky, could have had a couple of penalties and Lehman was trying his hardest to get sent off.

whats with all the "couple of penaltys" , ive seen this posted on a few forums now!

If people remember the potential lehmann penalty lead to a goal anyway. so there was only one other penalty

kinda crucial as Lehmann should have been sent off anyway (irrespective of whether a goal was scored or not)

Also Blackpool weren't unlucky, they were completely outclassed for the first half and didn't create that many chances overall. Not nearly as many as Arsenal anyway

yes but then the ref let play go on and decided that the goal was enough?

Thats not how refereeing works. If you wipe out the attacker when he is clear through on goal and there is no one behind him, its a red. If another player comes along and sticks it in, thats still a red for the keeper.

Arsenal were lucky.
