Charles Green to buy back Arsenal shares

[Johnny Hubbard 280]

In the Record

CHARLES GREEN has claimed he’ll heal another wound from Craig Whyte’s reign by buying back Rangers’ shares in Arsenal.

]Shamed former owner Whyte flogged 102 years of history when he cashed in on the link between the clubs last year.

He struck a deal worth more than £230,000 when he sold the 16 shares to Russian magnate Alisher Usmanov, a story that was exclusively revealed by Record Sport.

]Green is adamant they will be heading north again but far from looking to sell off slices of his stake, Usmanov is desperate to increase his shareholding and needs 21 more shares to own 30 per cent of the club.

let's hope he succeeds

Why do you hope he succeeds, JH?

*EDIT

I'm asking that question on the premise that you hope Usmanov succeeds in gaining 30% shares of our club, NOT that CG succeeds in getting the Arsenal shares back....just to clear things up.

What's the point? It's meaningless, he may aswell buy shares in tesco. Whyte selling the Arsenal shares is the thing that really got to me but Green trying to buy them back is a pointless PR stunt, they wont represent the same thing anymore.

[MasterD 7,435]

No need for it now, they are gone and won't have the same meaning behind them.

Haven't you just answered your own question then with that elongated edit?

Appears obvious Mr Hubbard wishes us to retrieve our shares.

[DarcheVinny 1,003]

A waste of money in my opinion. That small and lovely segment of our history was stolen from us by Craig Whyte.

Surely, there could be another and cheaper way to acknowledge our historic relationship with the Gunners?

A bi-annual pre-season friendly would be financially beneficial for both clubs, although I am aware that Arsenal's finances are in very good shape!

Not really. I asking him who he wishes to succeed; Usmanov or Green,because it seems to me that to get our original shares back, Usmanov has to sell them to Green, but according to that article, Usmanov is unlikely to do so.

They are a piece of history stolen from us, the club and all of us should welcome the shares back imo.

[AlBear. 8,499]

If it was going to be a gift from Arsenal I can understand that. While they wouldn't be the same shares, in another 100 years they would still be ours and still reflect the history between the clubs. If we have to purchase them then I don't see the point of it.

[OlegKuznetsov 10,816]

This was hurtful at the time, but I'm not bothered about Arsenal shares at the moment. That said, they could be a wise investment, but that would be counter to the historical point they represent.

[Mark. 69]

I Don't think this is pointless, kind of symbolic that we are fixing all the shit Whyte done, getting back to where we were.

[Figo 91]

Would be a nicer sentiment if arsenal gifted us some 8 of theirs for 8 of ours

[showtime69 514]

this is one thing ive never heard anybody question Whyte about

i wouldve loved it yesterday if Jim White asked him about them on SSN

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

Good old daily rebel eh about a week to late.

well said that man !

If it were possible I'd like to get back the same shares Whyte sold to that Russian mafia guy

[GazTheBear 23]

I'd rather see that wee taig whyte get a right kicking rite now than get the shares back.

[TMB 14,167]

I want those shares back!

[sillybilly 151]

The thing about the original shares was they were a gift, and had a bit of history attached. Whyte should rot in hell

[eosmhdo 1,879]

Whyte on Ssn there saying he regrets selling the shares, aye right.

Also says when he meets bears they always mention the shares.

Bears plural, he says he has met.

If he met one true Bear he would not meet many others, I don't think

[tufts1690 75]

Meaningless? 100 years from now I'd hope our fans aren't sayin the same thing.

[Travelrug 268]

I would like to see the Arsenal shares within our possession once again. Lets get our club with it's traditions and history restored so we can shake that wee brass necked, thieving, charlatan fucker off our back once and for all.

Waste of money , history behind them is gone , rather the money was used toward the general staff wage bill , much more meaning and more worthwhile.
