The Perfect Pitch

Over at Bigsoccer, the moderator of their Arsenal forums, Rick B, has posted a very interesting interview with Arsenal MD Keith Edelman and major Arsenal shareholder Danny Fiszman.

A couple of pieces of very interesting info is in the interview (please use the link above and read the whole thing, my summary doesn’t do it justice). A summary:

• A hostile takeover will never succeed
• An explanation of what a blocking stake is and how it’s basically completely useless for Usmanov to have one
• The board is currently writing a new agreement that extends the current “lock-down” agreement by a further 12 months
• The stadium loan situation is discussed, and our low interest rate compared to the Manc’s £80m (!) per year interest payments
• Who decides on player purchases at Arsenal
• Danny reveals two very interesting quotes from Arsene, one involving our plan to buy Eto’o
• And some other interesting tidbits …

A very interesting interview, and a must read. Kudos to Rick B for taking the time to do the interview and asking the questions us fans have all been wanting to ask (as opposed to the crap questions sport journalists tend to ask).
