>Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, plans to buy London-based Arsenal football club within four years. >“There’s no doubt I’ll buy Arsenal, it’s not a problem. The issue is that we have more challenging headwinds. I need to get those out the way first and start having tailwinds. Then I’ll focus on this. Maybe in three to four years." >Dangote, a Nigerian worth $10.9 billion, says he needs to wait for his business prospects to improve and his investments in gas pipelines and an oil refinery to play out before making the acquisition. >Dangote, an Arsenal fan, has lost $4.4 billion this year, the fourth most of anyone globally, due mainly to the depreciation of Nigeria’s currency. >An acquisition of the team would make him the first African owner of a team in England’s Premier League. >“It’s not about buying Arsenal and just continuing with business as usual." >"It’s about buying Arsenal and turning it around. I’ve run a very successful business and I think I can also run a very successful team."
the clock for Wenger is ticking....
3 or 4 years and the African will take over and throw him out
>the premier league will get BLACKED in my lifetime
Really makes you think

Justin Bell

Parker Cook
Ortega was announced number one a couple weeks ago
Caleb Carter
My ranking is based on the billionaire's index that is updated once a year, so maybe it indeed changed in the last couple of months, although hard to imagine.
Henry Sullivan
>Amancio Ortega is a Spanish business magnate. >He is the founder and chairman of the Inditex fashion group, best known for its chain of Zara clothing and accessories retail shops. >He is currently the richest person in Europe and the second richest person in the world according to Forbes with an estimated net worth of US$77.2 billion as of 15 September 2016.
He's still behind Bill Gates.
Kayden Fisher
those guys probably all have shares and stuff that make up their billions.
this african lad will have it all in piles of cash. he is probably richer.
Parker Wright
lmao
Zachary Jones
why is his skin so dark and his eyeballs yellow?
Jaxson Johnson
what happened to your Carlos Slim?
why did he lose so much money over the last few years?
he was the richest person in the world just 3 years ago and now he's only the 7th richest person in the world all of a sudden
Nathan Wilson
fucking mexikike got rekt by the peso depreciation he's still 4th place tho
Michael King
>Dangote, an Arsenal fan, has lost $4.4 billion this year, the fourth most of anyone globally >all dem 4s
He is literally perfect for Arsenal. Eternal 4th place.
Mexican currency depreciation and selling some telecom companies due to local anti-monopoly regulations
Jason Morris
There are already shareholders of Arsenal that are richer than whoever the fuck this guy, such as Usmanov. Anyway Arsenal isn't a club you can just buy like Chelsea or Man City.
Ryan Moore
He probably has it all tied into KFC franchises and gaudy tyre rim manufacturers.
Lincoln Richardson
nah, he's 7th in the latest billionaire's index.
could change fast tho
Nolan Campbell
Why not?
Alexander Harris
>muh assets You know that blackie has at least 5 billion in gold
Nathan Kelly
an african businessman what could go wrong ?
Brayden Miller
...
Daniel Hernandez
I mean in theory somebody could become a 100% shareholder in Arsenal Holdings PLC sure but it will never happen as long as Arsenal are a successful club because nobody is going to throw away their shares in a company that's turning over £300,000,000+ a year.
Eli Foster

Elijah Hughes
That's man United. Arsenal is definitely the nigger team
Blake Green
$10bn in Zimbabwean dollars
Julian Kelly
Usmanov has been trying for years, he's just biding his time
>Amancio Ortega >white
Samuel Jackson
>spaniards >not white
Easton Sanders
I seriously doubt Kroenke will allow this
Juan Allen
Arsenal is already bought.
Isaiah Campbell
Why do Arabs, Chinese and Africans love buying European football teams? Is it like a status symbol for their billionaires?
Zachary Jones
What happened to Carlos Slim, Telefonica fatcat.
He always used to be up there
Juan Thomas

Jordan Powell
They are sitting on a huge pile of European currency. What else are you going to invest your pounds in in Britain?
Parker Martinez
No, he doesn't.
How do you think he lost 4b this year? His stocks went down.
Levi Young
Well yeah he basically owns most of the telecom companies in south america. Their services are horrible but cheap enough that you just use internet for calling instead of actual minutes.
Jaxson Sanders
>lost 1/3 of his fortune this year top business man
Blake Gray
Cheers mate, similar minds and that
Jack Bennett
How come there's no regulations for this? The NHL, NFL and MLB have regulations for team ownership (NFL being the craziest.)
Alexander Allen
if that's the case, then I am white sinc emy family is of Spanish desent
Leo Adams
Because Europe is a luxury top shelf whore and America is her pimp
Noah Cook
Some football clubs have regulations for ownership
Brody Carter
They need a stable place to keep their money because their home countries are corrupt and their assets can easily get seized if the politics change.
Nolan Cooper
If Arsenal are bought then so is every club in the world even if you try to dress it up as "muh fan owners"
Jace Wood
Arsenals majority shareholder is an Uzbek/Russian.
Are you literally retarded?
Samuel Sanchez
actually it's an American
Arsenal are an American team
Camden Campbell
if there isn't any non-European DNA mixed in, meaning you're full Spanish ethnically, then yes, of course you're white
Adam Harris
It's capitalism m8, but this guy has literally L I T T E R A L Y 0% chance of becoming the sole owner of Arsenal when there are bigger fish already trying to buy shares in Arsenal FC.
This guy is living in a fantasy world.
Ryder Butler
You're becouse your family is of Indian descent. That's different, my chicano friend
Levi Evans
You're not white*
Julian Watson
Over here, we don't allow private people to own more than 49% of a club's shares.
The majority of the club always has to belong to the club members.
We have 3 clubs that are owned by companies, but at least our clubs don't whore themselves out to Arab or Russian oligarchs.
John Nguyen
A shareholder, even a majority shareholder, is not an owner though, if Kroenke decides to end his involvement with the club then that's that, they go their separate ways. If Abramovich decides he is done with Chelsea he can recall his money, sell all the assets and liquidate the club if he wanted to.
Brayden Hernandez
If this is true then I'll gladly take this black lad over retarded Stan Kroenke who keeps taking money from us to fund his shit NFL team.
It all depends on how much he's ready to offer. If he cashes out enough he'll buy it why not.
Josiah Reed
How did one kike get so rich off of Facebook?
Zachary Morales
It's all asset based, he is "only" really making around $1,000,000 a year in actual cash.
Companies would pay insane money to have access to over a billion peoples private information, essentially we made him rich.
Parker Powell
Venkys 2.0
I just assume anyone not from Europe, Japan and North America is retarded. It's not racist if it's true.
Daniel Sullivan
Is he a money hoarder or something? Why isn't he fixing Spain the stingy cunt?
Robert Russell
yeah in fact it's more like the opposite clubs are a lousy business
>invest millions >one guy slips >no payoff
Alexander Morris
what about south korea?
they gave us samsung, kia and lg
Jackson Reyes
>Amancia Ortega >White
Isaac Jenkins
It actually said currency depreciation, so maybe he does have it in cash. Which would be nuts.
Dominic Brown
no. mexican assets have depreciated along with the peso. he most defo didnt have billions in cash friend

Anyone not from a developed country.
This guy from Zimbabwe is the President of the Economic and Social Council for the UN. Probably a smart guy and good at his job but my instinct to believe otherwise just because of where he's from. Maybe a little bit racist.
Sebastian Young
please no
Niggers are shit I swear, he'll kick are wenger out, hire mouyes, make him spend 9999 billion on Iheanacho and turn the club into post-fergie United
Anything but another nigger, chink or arab owning a club again
