Telegraph Sport can confirm that, once Usmanov was informed that Lady Bracewell-Smith had agreed to sell her pivotal 15.9 per cent stake to Kroenke, he attempted to derail the deal with offers of £12,500 and then £13,000 per share. That would have secured Lady Bracewell-Smith an extra £12.36 million and blown the Arsenal takeover battle wide open.
How much you wanna bet that he'll now try to buy another club and "Abramovich" them into a top club? Wouldn't be surprised if he bought Tottenham or something.
Yeah, when they are in it, they are in it for good, the guy still hasn't bought Arsenal, I guess.
Why doesnt he just sell his shares and buy a new club. Would make more sense
