I particularly like this bit:
Yet Kroenke, who owns 67%, after gradually building up his holding since 2007, is unwilling to contemplate the deal. He remains fully committed to the club and, even though Usmanov’s offer would net him a massive profit, he is not minded to sell. Kroenke has long maintained his investment is on behalf of his family for the long term and he sees it as being for generations.

@richard_conway @Greatgooner I half suspect that it could be a pre cursor to him moving towards Everton. Shows he gets nowhere with Arsenal, then leaves. Just a theory..

Loving this little on and off field meltdown.
Couldn't happen to a nicer outfit and long may it fester and continue.

Or go insane and donate his money to Lewis and Levy with no ROI required in a fit of warped Kronke revenge

Not the worst conspiracy theory. £1bn isn't actually that serious a bid, in my opinion.

You do wonder if that's the way its all going to end up - a load of bent oligarchs running the big clubs and waving their cocks at each other competing in a rat race for the best managers and players.
When our stadium is finished, and most of the hard work done by Danny Boy and Enic would not be surprised to see us as the subject of a big bid as the club will be worth at least £1bn+ then

Chelsea are probably going to do the double, and United, who spent many millions in the Summer, are also on for two trophies.
Yes we've outperformed City and Arsenal, but splashing the cash still makes a big difference.

I wouldn't say it's sustainable for consistent success especially nowadays where the top teams are as strong as ever. Spending more money just means higher expectations and pressure which inevitably means more manager and player upheaval.

Reading that Everton forum earlier today I noted the fans ain't too impressed with the new guy.
Money is very important, no doubt about it. However, if United lose to Ajax (which I think is a bigger possibility than most people believe) then I don't think they have had a brilliant season.
