The ‘real’ owners of Gunners want to see it bed-ridden and on the verge of extinction, as long as no stranger touches “their club.” It would rather suffer than be contaminated by investment from some individual, it’s their line of thinking. Not too long ago, a similar situation unfolded at Township Rollers when Jagdish Shah was told to take the highway.
