The Gunners are one of the world's most prominent teams.Kroenke also owns the NBA's Nuggets, the NHL's Avalanche and the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.Already a director at the Gunners, Kroenke increased his holding Friday from 20.5 percent by buying out the Carr family's stake.Kroenke is closer to the 30 percent threshold that triggers a mandatory offer for the remaining shares.The next largest shareholder is Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who owns more than 25 percent of the club through investment vehicle Red and White Holdings.DenverPost "Mr. President, call in the National Guard!

I know Malcolm Glazer owns Manchester United, Randy Lerner owns Aston Villa, and Tom Hicks has a part of Liverpool. And isn't Chelsea's owner a Russian oil tycoon?All of those are true, but I think that the eye of international ownership has moved to Manchester City, where the owner's half brother (from the United Arab Emitrates) is involved in a torture scandal\l and there is a tape showing him.Man City Owner's Brother in a Torture VideoI think it is now accepted as the supporters cannot own a top tier EPL team as they need more capital to sign players.

I think Spurs are bankrolled by an American as well, although he is far more hands off than most investors. There are a few around the football league as well. Leicester City are owned by former P h owner Milan Mandaric, as an example. Honestly I don't think the average fan is bothered day in and day out, but I think there are some concerns about how much emotional investment some owners put into there teams. Though overall most teams recognise that to compete in soccer nowadays you need money behind you. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
