The last time I saw a record of the distribution of shares Ted had so many that the rest put together were useless as a voting tool. Anybody buying Teds shares wouldn't really need anybody elses. I wouldn't really want to sell mine anyway. I bought them to put some money into the club and feel a bit more involved. It's just a bit of paper now, saying I'm a shareholder, that I regard as financially worthless but in other ways priceless.

within 10 shares of owning 30% of Arsenal and if his shareholding reaches that figure then, under UK takeover law, he is compelled to make an offer for the remaining shares. Source

We're privately traded like Arsenal rather than publically traded as Manchester United were - for purpose of how many shares need to be purchased.

His commitment to backing Embassy Team Racing, his own team, ran into the millions but like many other companies he pulled out when the recession hit.

Working from memory alone there were about 4 other backers/teams from the same competition that took the same decision to pull out as JF.

There were multi £million backers in the F1 circuit that made the same decision it wasn’t through lack of commitment but (ahem. . . Cough) financial prudence.

the bike racing effort just got pulled for the last meeting leaving funds to be found elsewhere! which i think was particularly shameful! and nobody else pulled out of that meeting!

rugby league is far less costly
