Thread of the Week - Arsenal Board locks down shares

It seems very strange at the moment but all the best threads in recent weeks seem to be those emanating from an 'official' posting!

Be it a RamZone News Feed, a RamZone column or a RamsTrust column - so I have studiously tried to avoid those and gone for a discussion on ethical club chairmen!

BillyBic started this discussion - which is still continuing, by posting a story from the Guardian which appeared to be based on hearsay and no evidence but still raised concerns and pointed the finger about the origins of money that might be coming in to English football.

The other threads have been a strange mixture this week - with there being no game at the weekend due to the international break the spotlight has been firmly on Adam Pearson, foreign investment - and the Disney story emerged this week too.

There has also been some speculation about who the Rams might sign in January but most of that is half hearted as the stories in the press seemed to lack any authenticity.

Billy Davies has had a quieter week on RamZone - but with Chelsea due at Pride Park this weekend then doubtless the DCFC football related discussions will begin again in earnest. The Rams might surprise everyone and pull off a shock draw or win!

Thanks to BillyBic for initiating the Thread of the Week and to all posters on RamZone on this and all other threads.
