After so many false alarm...do we have another false alarm??
Now Mr Ecclestone is not ruling out getting involved with us.. He is the F1 Supremo- Mr Bernie Ecclestone.
'I don't know too much about that, actually,' the billionaire told Reuters at the European Grand Prix when asked about a report suggesting he could be interested in the Premier League club.
'It's good if somebody is saying that, because maybe I will be approached and maybe it will be cheap,' added the 76-year-old, who considered buying into Chelsea before the arrival of Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
'If somebody offers me something that I think is good value, I'll have a go.' Ecclestone confirmed that his daughter Tamara was dating the son of former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein, who left the club in April and is a good friend of David.
Ecclestone was obviously unhappy when David was thrown out from the club and hints of 'revenge' for his close friend might also be thrown in as a reason to buy into our club.
However, there might be a small problem for his frequent attendance at Chelsea haha.
Our club's refusal to welcome Kroenke's overtures in April prompted the departure of Dein, who was sympathetic to the sale. Dein still has a 14.5 percent stake in the club.
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood said at the time that he would be 'horrified if the club were to go across the Atlantic.' Maybe Bernie offer will be more acceptable by keeping the club in British hands.
Who knows???
