The massive story of ‘The Arsenal’ is the probably takeover by our friends from across the pond. A string of events has lead to major media speculation over recent months.

With Villa and Liverpool both being snapped up by the Yanks and this follows the crazy scene’s in manqchester last season as they where bought out.

In February Arsenal announced an exlusive partnership with Colorado Rapids. It’s an exciting time for the Rapids as they have been totally re-branded in the build up to th new MLS season. Danny Fiszman then sold £4Mil worth of shares to an unknow party. The £4Mil Fiszman received was for 659 shares in Arsenal Holdings Plc. There are 62,219 shares in total.

It is now rumoured that the company who owns Colorado Rapids, Kroenke Sports Enterprises (KSE), are lining up to buy out ITV’s shares in Arsenal. If this is true this could turn out to be the arsenal takeover.
