I think the two is bad. they are both clubs who don't buy African players. instead Everton, Manchester city, Tottenham.
Chelsea is the only club in England that loves African players to the core. that's why I'm BLUES....
Wat is this one saying? Which club produced Nigerian player of all time (kanu)

I think you guys are missing the poster's point. This is not about Man-U or Arsenal, this is about developing our local soccer team. I think our argument should revolve around this critical awareness.

if dangote won't do it

capital oil is doin it..

he bought Gabros fc. for alleged #100,000 000..

he is running manchester city money style in Nigeria

signed Brazilian striker

he is building 25 000 capacity stadium which should be ready next season

they 're doing so well in the league for new comers

they have not conceded a goal at home thanks to thr David de gea version
Who they dub abortion specialist.

I wish they qualify for the continent so that other people will join the cue and develop Nigeria league.

Premier league ownership is for billionaires with high liquidity. Dangote never reach this level now. Give him another 10 years till he gets his refinery going. This is strictly cash matters, unless the naija Mugu banks want to finance this purchase. Dangote his highly leveraged for now.

Daughter of the late veteran Nollywood producer, director, writer, teacher and mentor, Amaka Igwe, Ruby Igwe has written an open to Aliko Dangote, disclosing to him, her opinion on the indicated interest to purchase Arsenal football club.

If we recall, the billionaire lost the bid to land a stake in Arsenal Football club in 2010. He, however, revealed recently that he is still interested in buying the club.

Here is an excerpt of the open letter from DailyPost below:

[b] Dear Mr. Dangote.

Of course you should buy the Gunners. It’s a sound investment to invest in football, I think financially. And of course in terms of reputation, having a stake in a club is epic. And of course you have the cash. That’s indisputable. However, I have two propositions for you.

Please buy Manchester United instead. Just because.

If you don’t want to, that’s fine. But if you have change, after the Gunners, invest in the football in Nigeria. I can a$$ure you that it’s not only in the UEFA Champions League, or the English Premier League, or La Liga, or Bundesliga, that you will find good soccer. What these leagues have in common is solid financial backing, and solid infrastructure. They have created an internationally celebrated, culturally appreciated, economically viable system.

As such, I find solace in my red Man Utd shirt. I watch David de Gea‘s saves in awe, and I want very much to go to Old Trafford. I feast on the history and the statistics that I find about George Best and Alex Ferguson and David Beckham, and I can’t count how many times Manchester United has broken my heart.

I digress.

If you invest in the football in Nigeria, maybe people will feel the way they feel about Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United; about Enyimba. Maybe my mates will make good money playing for Nigeria’s local and national teams. Maybe watching football and sports live in Lagos and Lafia will become a favourite past time. Maybe we will know more Nigerian players by name and not because of what non-national club they play for.

Maybe there won’t be that much traffic every time in Lagos because the stadium will be packed full. Maybe the clothing and manufacturing industries will be revived by making jerseys and other memorabilia. Maybe students can find modes of expression and survival in sports in general, instead of trying to conform to what they are not.

So Sir. Please do Nigeria a favour and invest in the infrastructure of our football. Invest in change.

Don’t just donate, in case it becomes pocket-oriented. Don’t make a local investment. Go hard. Go national. Consult people, including football fanatics, and lay out a battle plan. Invest in our football and follow your investment until you see the sizeable returns that can and will actualize. Invest in generations to come.

Nigeria will thank you.

that makes no sense man u have huge debts coupled with the fact that they need a huge sum of money to overhaul their team and lest not forget that their financial record is a mess. while arsenal for the past 10 years have turned over profit to share holders, paid fully for their recently built stadium, and stable team performance. the only backlog of arsenal is the lack of silver wares both as an investor i would put my money in arsenal and i pretty much feel thats what dangote sees

Always in the quest to mortgage local industries and now football ; why not boost the standard of Nigeria football leagues to international standard? Why not invest in building stadium and rent it out? Of what help will investing in European football clubs be to a common Nigerian? You can turn Nigerian football to international standard if you really desire to sir. Lastly United practices simple xenophobia because they won't even sign a black player not to talk of selling it to a Blackman.
abeg bone this ur racism,evra,welbeck,blacket,fortune and ferdinand were all blacks.

Dangote is worth more than most of them and EPL has financial fair play rules to stop financial doping - very few billionaires are high liquidity.

Abramovich is worth 9 billion. Kronke is worth 6. The Glazers are worth 4.5. Only Man City's sheikh has more money than Dangote.

With an asset like Arsenal FC he could easily borrow from UK banks if needed.

Of course, we have to remember that football is more than just money throwing money around - Man City have found that out the hard way.
