Formula 1 mogul, Bernie Ecclestone claims that he would be interested in buying Arsenal Football Club if it were ‘cheap enough’.

Silent Stan Kroenke has allegedly been trying to buy the club for some time, and maybe he could now have some competition?

In an interview that had me laughing from start to finish, Ecclestone, who is friends with David Dein says he will ‘have a go at anything’.

‘I don’t know too much about it (the story) actually,’ said Ecclestone.

‘It’s good if somebody is saying that because maybe I will get approached – and maybe it will be cheap enough. I’ve not spoken with anybody at Arsenal. I obviously talked to David (Dein) when they chucked him out, which I thought was a bit unnecessary.’

‘But if somebody offers me something that I think has got good value, I will have a go.’

He then went on to speak about his visits to Stamford Bridge and that he and a friend considered buying the Blues before Roman stepped in.

In all honesty I think Bernie has no idea what he’s talking about. He may have amassed over £3 Billion but if he is looking for a bargain of a football club, he’s looking in the wrong place.
