Arsenal chairman Hill-Wood would welcome Kroenke takeover
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood says he would welcome a full-blown takeover by Stan Kroenke.
Kroenke is Arsenal's major shareholder having increased his stake to 28.9 per cent on Thursday, leaving him ahead of Usmanov, who holds around 25 per cent.
The American is now just one per cent short of the 29.9 per cent figure which, under British law, means he must make a mandatory offer for the remaining shares in the company.
Hill-Wood, who himself owns less than one per cent, has now welcomed Kroenke's increasingly active interest in the club.
"It does look like he is edging towards a takeover, which I would welcome," Hill-Wood told RAYWEEZY......
"I have not asked him if that is what he plans to do, but I am very relaxed about it.
"If it was to happen, I don't think you can expect any big changes because he seems to like things very much the way they are."
