Arsene: Keep Gunners English

ARSENE WENGER has demanded: Keep Arsenal in English hands.

SunSport revealed that a consortium is ready to make a move for the Gunners
after unofficial talks about a possible takeover.

But Arsenal boss Wenger warned about the dangers of foreign ownership and
said he would rather his club was run by fans than billionaires like Roman
Abramovich.

He said: “It’s important for English clubs to continue to have English
values. It should not just be a matter of who spends more but how we behave
and how we achieve it.

“One of the charms of English football is that fans create the clubs and
control them and owners are fans first and foremost.

“If someone offered me a transfer budget of ￡100million or the status quo,
I would take the status quo.”

Chelsea, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Portsmouth are now foreign owned.

Wenger said: “Arsenal is owned by Englishmen and they are fans of the club
first and I find that reassuring.

“One day the players and I will go but the owners will stay the same and
they must transmit the values.”

The Gunners have denied any talks, but the consortium sees the club as a good
buy at the right price.

Arsenal’s ￡350m price tag will continue to put off potential buyers says an
expert in football takeovers.

Former city analyst Brian Sturgess, who now runs Soccer Investor Ltd, said: “
At ￡350m, I am not sure how many investors would be interested.

“You have to look at how far you can take Arsenal as it is already a
successful club.


“Also, you have to keep investing in the team just to keep the ground full
of fans.

“Far more attractive would be a club like Newcastle. Strong investment in
the team could bring even greater rewards there.”

Russian businessmen Oleg Deripaska and Ralif Safin both insist they have no
interest in making a takeover.
