Title: Lady Nina set to spark battle for control

From Arsenal News Review

In the Sunday Express , Harry Pratt said Peter Hill-Wood and the board are privately resigned to losing control of AFC.

If that’s true it’s the biggest Arsenal news since 2005, when they got the £260 million loan to build Ashburton Grove.

Harry Pratt’s “source” reckons that Lady Nina is vulnerable and could crack by the end of this year.

So I wonder : If she wants to sell her shares during the "lockdown agreement" period, she can say : This is the price I want. She mainly lives abroad and has no sentimental attachment to Arsenal, and she was only brought onto the board to prevent the sale of her stake. The other directors have first refusal and if they do not want to spend or borrow £90 million, she can sell to the highest bidder. That's why there is such a rush to get Stan Kroenke on the board, so he can buy her shares .....

Harry Pratt has a very good boardroom source - he wrote the story that TH14 would leave for Barcelona in the summer of 07 at least nine months before it happened.

Harry Pratt

Is this for real - 'Hairy Prat'?

Thicknthin - June 25, 2008 10:02 AM (GMT)
Right, so Harry Pratt is so in the know as he knew in the summer of 2006 that Henry would go to Barca despite having a month earlier signed his infamous contract. Just who is his good source then...mmmm.....let me think.....wouldn't be that old has been Dein would it? The same Dein who was shafted by Nina (she was the one to blab on him) and is desparate to stir shit at every oppourtunity, the same Dein that has Mail journo's wrapped round his finger.
Let's be clear, the board now is three men, Friar (as tight lipped as a KGB general), Danny (who utters two words a season) and P H Diddy to the W (who only ever speaks to the Express), so if he's got sauce its gotta be DD.
The shit aside, Arsenal's board do have to work out who will buy people's shares one, two, five, ten years down the line. Danny won't as he turned the chance to buy Landsdowne's shares down, so that only leaves Stan or the fans (and that's not in place although it is feasible), so he needs to get Stan "involved".

well said, but I also believe that ANR is very much spreading pro(ish) Dein info too

Thicknthin - June 25, 2008 10:38 AM (GMT)
Yes, Myles feels the board are old duffers, not football men and not 21st century football men and he has a fair point but whereas Dein may well have been an excellent football man, his outrageous behaviour should forever write him off as being someone who can be relied on to have Arsenal's best long term interests at heart.

DD has always used the media. It's his way of getting things through and has many a friend in the press.

The HP source is definitely a board member or close relative of one of them and not DD.

As for writing, like countless other hacks, that TH14 would join Barca in the summer 0f 2007 some months before it happened, HP's story concentrated on the board giving their approval to the sale. That represented a huge change because they had been desperate to ensure Henry was at the club for the first season at the Emirates - hence the mega money he was paid.
