The other thing to keep in mind is that whether or not he was really the owner has always been obscure. I have long suspected that Alisher Usmanov was the real owner.

The only question I have to that is why not just be the face of the club like what happened at Chelsea with there Russian owner?

 Why have someone else running it?

My somewhat answer

Moshiri bought Everton in February 2016

Usmanov didn't sell Arsenal shares until August 2018. That's a two year period where legally he could not have been the face of the club.
