Like that will be of any consequence. How many of them will buy original Arsenal paraphernalia or go to the Emirates to watch matches?

Nazeeboy:

Trailblazer1:

arsetalks:
First time me and you agree on something.

shakazuldadon:

redsun:
Niggers are always looking g for ready. Why can't he use his wealth to build up football in Africa,make it interesting,saleable and worthwhile?

joke you say? Dangote can afford to buy Arsenal and manchester united together if he wants. he has the money

jnrbayano:


Make no mistakes about this, Dangote may be incapable to bring out that amount (1.2 billion pounds) to purchase a club like Manchester United.

The bulk of his worth released in that magazine isn't in liquid cash methinks.

Acidosis:

How many school children and homeless kids are you sponsoring?

Manchester United is over 1.2 Billion pounds.

Are you sure he has the capability to buy?

Ayomidric:
buy a football team and see ur wealth diminishing.... Abrahamovic will tell u the story....

FreeGlobe:

out of a 15 billion dollars networth, over 5 billion should be in liquid cash and this is an investment

He has nvr bought nor sponsored any nigerian football club let alone sponsor our local league yet he wants to buy and sponsor a foreign league which has put in place infrastructure and equipment to make it attractive for investors

Dangote charity begins at home. If wealthy nigerians are afraid to invest in local sports what is the hope of sports in Nigeria?


Nigerians are hypocrites. You made your money through the corrupt corridors of power within this country to give back becomes a problem

arsetalks:
Dumb assertion bro. Let me ask you, Kroenke is a Yank, Usmanov is a Russian, how many Russians attend Arsenal games?

By your assertion, Africa is not a lucrative market but Manchester United has been coming to Africa for 10 years. Taking it outside football, Sky has been trying to buy TVC and bring Skyb to Nigeria ( I know cos I had business dealing with one of the initiators), verizon has been wanting to come to Nigeria, Etisalat left Asia for Africa.

Our buying power may not be as high as that of the Brits and the Yanks, but the number adds up big time.

At least your know our love is higher than most of the Asian countries yet clubs keep going to Asian, for what if I may ask?

Arsenal sent only 3 players here ( I was there) Sagna, Per and Poldi and maybe over £3m for 3 days. Imagine they come here for a week for a tour with the full squad?

jnrbayano:


Well, you know him too well and on my own part, I know him far less.

ApexTitan:


You stated that if Dangote bought Arsenal that the fanbase in the north (i.e, northern Nigeria) will skyrocket. While I do not have any data to show here I am pretty sure that that demographic will be of little or no consequence to the wealth of the club or the club owner.

The foreigners who own Arsenal certainly did not buy it to increase their native country fanbase - their target was the global community where the money really lies. Do you think that Arsenal has a considerable fanbase in the US because the owner of the majority stake at the club is American?

Africa, Asia and Europe are very lucrative markets for English clubs on the macro level. That's why clubs will continue to work these markets. However Northern Nigeria as a demographic will add little or no gains to the coffers of any club simply because as a whole it is not as financially well off as other demographics in this country. The fact that they have the wealthiest people in their group does not mean that wealth is even distributed there. It can even be argued that poverty is even worse up North can in other places in this country.

[I hope this explanation will not trigger another round of ethnic attacks that this forum is infamous for]

As much as Dangote is businessman, he is free to invest his money anywhere. The beginning of the end for Arsenal FC.
