Daniel Ek's Arsenal takeover meeting as Supporters' Trust set out four demands

Pep Guardiola, Johan Cruyff and Sir Alex Ferguson are three of the most revered coaches of our time, but for some reason, none of them have tried the revolutionary idea of sticking a goalkeeper up front.Thankfully, there's one man who has.Step forward Stuart Pearce, who, on the final day of the 2004-05 season, made the madcap decision to convert David James into a centre-forward as Manchester City chased qualification for the UEFA Cup.With two minutes of normal time remaining and City needing to score, 'Psycho' lived up to his name (and then some) by replacing midfielder Claudio Reyna with second-choice stopper Nicky Weaver and throwing James up front.Pearce had hoped to unsettle the Middlesbrough defence, but according to Boro No.1 Mark Schwarzer - James' opposite number in the Teessiders' goal - it actually delivered the opposite effect. Schwarzer, speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes at its launch of the 5-A-Side Bet on Leicester v West Ham, revealed the reaction of the shocked Boro players.

Arsenal, despite the Gunners falling short in the Europa League to Villarreal on Thursday evening. News broke last month - following the announcement of the European Super League - that Spotify's co-founder, Ek, alongside a consortium, was interested in taking over the North London side.

Spotify co-founder and CEO Daniel Ek is in the midst of a much publicised attempt to buy Arsenal from current owner Stan Kroenke.

Telegraph reported Ek’s offer—understood to be worth around £1.8 billion—is expected before the end of this week, although Henry has warned fans of the lengthy battle to come. News of an impending bid comes shortly after Manchester United supporters broke into Old Trafford in revolt against their current owners, the Glazer family.Like Arsenal counterpart Stan Kroenke, United’s owners were widely criticised for their efforts to form part of the short-lived European Super League.Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, Henry said Ek “is an Arsenal fan for a very long time,” who wants the club to rediscover what once made it a Premier League powerhouse.

Arsenal are one of several Premier League clubs whose ownership is in dispute following the failure of the European Super League, and Thierry Henry has confirmed rumours of a takeover bid.Henry, 43, has thrown his support behind Spotify co-founder and chief executive Daniel Ek, who is expected to launch a £1.8 billion offer for the north London outfit this week.However, the Gunners legend has warned any potential purchase of his old club will be “long, and not easy.” Speaking on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Henry opened up on Ek’s insistence to get a deal across the line: "The takeover is going to be long, and not easy. And Daniel will not move away, he will be there waiting to see if they want to sell.

Daniel Ek has sounded out Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke as he looks to submit a formal offer to buy the club.

Thierry Henry has confirmed his interest in joining with Daniel Ek and buying Arsenal from Stan Kroenke.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has confirmed his intentions to take over the club as part of a consortium with Daniel Ek - live on Monday Night Football.The Frenchman, who is the Gunners' all-time top scorer, is part of a group with the Spotify co-founder looking to buy the club from the Kroenkes. It started after the Swedish billionaire share a Tweet expressing his desire to buy the club during protests against the owners.

Arsenal are reportedly on the market despite owner Stan Kroenke insisting only days ago he would not listen to offers for the club.

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has questioned whether Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek is "serious" about wanting to buy the club. Ek took to Twitter earlier this month to publicly declare his interest in mounting a takeover, writing: "As a kid growing up, I’ve cheered for @Arsenal as long as I can remember.

Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg has opened up about the club's owners, amid Spotify CEO Daniel Ek's attempts to buy the club.Ek has made it clear that he wants to complete a takeover but current owners Stan and Josh Kroenke are adamant that the club is not for sale.When asked about the situation surrounding Arsenal's ownership, Ljungberg labelled Josh Kroenke a "very nice man" and explained that there are "a lot of emotions going around" after the club's involvement in the failed European Super League.Speaking to BT Sport, he said: "I must say I've spoken to Josh [Kroenke] a few times, he's a very nice man."What I saw, I was proud of Arsenal fans when they came out in force.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has spotted a trend in Daniel Ek’s Arsenal takeover bid which should worry fans. The Swedish billionaire, who co-founded Spotify in 2002 to gain a £3.4bn net worth, is reportedly preparing a £1.8bn offer for the club he has supported since eight years old.

Arsenal’s squad could look very different if Daniel Ek manages to pull off a £2bn investment. The Swedish billionaire is preparing a bid to take over the club he has supported since eight years old in a consortium with Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira.

Spotify founder Daniel Ek has insisted that he’s serious about his bid to buy Arsenal and has the necessary funding for the move.It comes after Ek, who founded the streaming service in 2006 is estimated to be worth £3.4billion, reportedly recruited Arsenal legends Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera and Dennis Bergkamp in a bid to buy the club from beleaguered owner Stan Kroenke.Arsenal and Kroenke were condemned last week for their role in plans to join a newly constructed European Super League, a breakaway competition designed at rivalling the Champions League.Ek, who first announced his interest on Twitter, told CNBC: “I have secured the funds for it and I want to bring what I think is a very compelling offer to the owners and I hope they hear

Arsenal were plunged into turmoil last night just hours after Mikel Arteta claimed Daniel Ek’s takeover bid was dead in the water.Arteta revealed how owner Stan Kroenke assured him the club is NOT for sale - and risked the wrath of fans by saying they should get to know the US tycoon better.But Spotify founder Ek, a Swedish billionaire, refuses to take no for answer and quickly responded to insist he is going absolutely nowhere.Ek said: “I am very serious. I have secured the funds and I want to bring a very compelling offer to the owners.

Stan Kroenke has insisted he will not sell Arsenal - and that is pretty much in tune with the messages that have always come from the American billionaire.
