Kroenke buying more Arsenal shares

Arsenal received notification yesterday that Stanley Kroenke now owns 12.19% of the club's shares.

There have been a number of small trades in the last week or so, with another small chunk of 50 or so shares changing hands today, driving the share price up, hitting £7,000 a share.

If the Arsenal board are as resolutely against a takeover as they say, then they need to start buying up some of these small chunks so that they have a majority share holding. Since David Dein's departure, they now own about 45% between them.
