Apart from this guy and the Ikea owner who else is a billionaire in Sweden?
There's about 30 billionaires in Sweden, the richest ones on paper being Stefan Persson and the Rausing family, and in reality the Wallenberg family.

As for Daniel Ek, he doesn't have the kind of wealth needed to acquire Arsenal, but who's to say he's thinking of a solo venture.

Maybe he'll go halves with that Nigerian war lord.

If Ek bought us he'd be a cheap name for the back of the shirt.

Dangote, Ek, and Kroenke may actually be a good mix. Even chuck in a few others if we could get them interested. Create some competitive tension in the ownership again. Would be good to get a fan ownership contingent there as well. Kroenke is greedy, which on its own is neither good or bad, but he's unchecked at the moment, so he's landed on the bad side of greed.

What got me the most about Josh and his words were two points which I feel the forum failed to jump on. His comment about 'a cold night in Stoke' was patronising and sounded like something a focus group came up with and that they think he should say.

The worst was when he spoke about how positive his experience of Baku was apart from the result. From that point alone, we know everything we need to know. Listening to Stillman takes about Baku shows how terrible that experience was for the fans. That was literally without even considering the result. Put that on top of it and it probably the lowest moment for a travelling football fan to experience. Yet it was positive?

The fans need to stay strong and United. We need to protest every single home game. We cannot let up. The promise of investment is not something that should turn us or influence us. The problem has never been the amount of money they have spent. We spent 72 million on Pepe ffs. 50 million on Partey, massive contracts on multiple players.

The problem is that they are so disconnected and so absent that they do not put the right people in place to make decisions and use money effectively. The same mistakes are still happening. Players are walking out on frees, old players are being given massive contracts. There is no plan. Say they give us 100 million to spend. Is there any confidence we will spend it properly? 20 million of that could go on contracts for Luiz and Lacazette based on the history of our business.

On their watch we are 10th. On their watch we have lost money on players walking out on frees. On their watch, we are seeing players overpaid. On their watch, we spend money in the wrong areas. On their watch people in high positions have taken advantage of the club. Maldini, the director of football at Milan said he knew nothing because of that snake Gazidis. How long was he in our club for? How was Salehi allow to get rid of Mslintant? Mslintat should have been the future. Someone who used scouting, analytics to save costs, to find gems, to make mistakes on duds, to assemble a innovative coaching department. No. His head rolled for a Rauls book of contacts. Look at Stuttgart now.

KSE have consistently tried to shortcut success. Instead of trying to run a club properly, we have made signings to try and scrape into the top 4. We failed consistently and the super league was the last throw of the dice.

If we do not win the Europa league. Arsenal will be without European football. They are talking about investing? Are we stupid? It's a pandemic, there are no gate receipts. We are operating at a loss. They are losing out on all of their businesses and have other priorities. We are meant to shut up because they say they are going to spend in the summer? Throw some money at them and that will shut them up. It's how you become a billionaire, but it's not how you run a football club.

For the first time since God knows when, the fans are united on this. Wenger in, Wenger out. Arteta in and Arteta out. Groups of fans fall into different categories.

However KSE out is unanimous. 10,000 fans will be allowed in for the the last game of the season where will may be sitting lower than 10th. Can you imagine the protest in the stadium? The fans need to stay strong. Stay consistent. Don't fool for their nonsense. People are already publicly coming out saying they want to buy Arsenal. There will be many more. We need to make it so they have to sell.

He wouldn’t be buying Arsenal on his own, he’d be in some sort of consortium.

Not that it matters unless KSE want to sell, and they’ve said they don’t.

I would have thought billionaires would have been taxed out of existence in Sweden, shame its not so

Isn’t Daniel Ek’s net worth meaningless. I thought when they just took out loans leveraged against their shares or something to that effect.

Kronke is supposed to be double his wealth by still needed a bank loan to buy out Usmanov.

Wise lawyerly words....?

Bottom line is that and like all these owners, they’ll only go if and when (1) they have to (more or less never given their wealth), (2) conclude that there are much better opportunities/uses for their cash so it’s time to bale, or (3) when the deal is so good they’d be mad to say no.

The government can act/legislate in ways that can encourage (2) but that will by definition discourage alternative owners. And Boris loves a free market economy. Plus, let’s face it, politicians are using football to score cheap brownie points.

Sadly, United‘s experience of being stuck with unwanted ownners for the best part of 20 years is of exactly encouraging.
