Daniel Ek & Arsenal

He’s apparently considering a bid worth £2b or $2.8b USD to buy Arsenal.

United’s current market cap is $2.55b.

How on earth does this guy - and indeed the Arsenal board - value them higher than us?! No wonder Spotify never makes any money!

Also, the majority of Ek’s wealth is tied up in shares of Spotify. So where is he getting the capital/liquidity to complete the takeover? Is he liquidating shares? Is he buying Arsenal using shares? Or does he have the cash after taking Spotify public? Doesn’t make any sense to me. And neither does it make sense how he and his company can be worth so much when they have never made a profit.

If this goes through, the Glazers would want close to $5b to sell.

Kroenke has been investing his own cash since we dropped out of the CL positions.

If you call saddling the club with more debt "investing his own cash" then sure. Anything he has provided will be paid back with interest.

I can't believe that NBA franchises have similar valuation as the big football clubs. That's insane to me.

How much? If that greedy git has supposedly investing his own money, how much of it is he claiming to have spent. Because we never seem to see any of it when it's time to pay a transfer fee.

Straight up lies from him and his accountants if you ask me, that or the "his money" sum actually comes to some paltry BS amount which couldn't have made any real difference on the pitch anyway. That fecker's done nowt but lie about money from the day he got here so I wouldn't believe any sh !t they peddle. The dude is a crook.

May well be but that will be a loan from Kroenke that we will repay him.

The club in its entirety, be it loans, or profits are owned by Kroenke. So that means debt and any income. As it goes however he has not increased debt on the club itself. I am quite sure he has on the holding company. I won't be surprised if he has leveraged Arsenal to its £2Bn value. But at KSE level. Not on the individual businesses.

The Kronke's position remains unchanged. They are 100% committed to destroying the club
