There is plenty of hate for this cunt. He puts nothing in to any club he buys. He is a fucking carpet bagging leech and he will suck anything dry without a care in the world.

Any news on this cunt and his cuntery, post it here.

Because he is a cunt.

This should be in the classic threads section tbf

Here's what the cunt thinks about Arsenal FOOTBALL Club.

Seems like the chickens have really come home to roost at AFC...and the majority of posters on here seemed to disagree with my suggestion that there is reason to worry about our club's future?

Despicable cunt.

The greatest hate should be reserved for the shamless profiteers who sold the club to him. There is supposed to be such a thing as duty of care or due diligence. Even a cursory look at this mans history of shepherding unsuccessful teams should let anyone know that he is a corporate leech of the worst kind, an unashamed plunderer of the common mans passions, a vampire who sucks blood with a long straw from afar, not sufficient to kill the victim but enough to keep him perpetually alive while emaciated. All the while feeding his insatiable need for accumulating wealth.

The hottest place in hell for the lot of them, and the vain, incompetent with delusions of self worth who is his underling.

He also must be monumentally stupid if this quote is anything to go by:
“We have a gentleman who comes to Arsenal games, he flies his helicopter from South Africa, Cape Town to London quite often. It’s just an example of what a brand can mean, and what we can do in sports."

Helicopter from South Africa to London....Really!!!?

I've done the trip a couple of times myself. Capetown to The Gaping Anus in Bond Street, via the Moon. Something else that's also true - the stadium means we will be able to compete at the very top of the European game.

F*cking LOL

But wait...

"I am here to support them as required to ensure that the club recaptures the glory days of the past and builds sustained success in the future.

"I know a lot of you want to know what my plans are. There is much to be done and things for me to learn, but I can confirm that I have committed to providing additional funds for transfers and retaining our key players to ensure that we have a strong core to build on for the future.

Only trouble is the timing. Farhad Moshiri is at Everton now. Glad he's gone tbf. Doesn't seem to have a criminal past, hasn't mentioned a word about financial sustainability and says he's going to spend his own money. Sounds like he's the sort of fool who invests in a football club to win trophies. Everton are welcome to him.

“If you want to win championships then you would never get involved. I think the best owners in sports are the guys that sort of watch both sides a bit. If you don't have a good business then you can't really afford to go out and get the best players unless you just want to rely on other sources of income.

“Over there [in the Premier League] it was sort of like 'well, we've got guys from the Middle East, the oil price is over $100, they can spend anything they want'.

“But the problem I saw with all of that; those people can lose interest. It doesn't mean that they will, but I sort of threw that out there: 'What happens when the Middle Eastern family, this thing's costing a lot of money and they decide to go home?' I said what really happens in those situations is the fans get hurt because the players get picked up and paid if they're good, the front office gets other jobs.”


“What did I learn specifically [from England]? You learn very quickly what that brand means,” said Kroenke.

“We have a gentleman who comes to Arsenal games, he flies his helicopter from South Africa, Cape Town to London quite often. It’s just an example of what a brand can mean, and what we can do in sports.

“We’re all working on that and that’s the big opportunity. Michael Jordan showed it - you can get paid a whole lot more if you can extend your brand. Manchester United showed it. They established benchmarks that people had thought heretofore unattainable, but their brand extension made people want to pay for it.”

Sifting away the headline and fluff...this isn't news to us. That headline is misleading because he doesn't say that.

“If you want to win championships then you would never get involved. I think the best owners in sports are the guys that sort of watch both sides a bit. If you don't have a good business then you can't really afford to go out and get the best players unless you just want to rely on other sources of income.

Some mischief is going on with this one. Looking at the above sentence, it sounds to me like he’s saying as an owner, you can’t get involved on the management side of things to win the championship but he’s not saying he’s completely hands off with the sports side. The best owners watch both sides of the fence. Honestly, I don’t think he’s saying anything different to what’s been said on here by some fans about being a billionaires ‘plaything’ and I also wouldn’t want owner that is too involved with the on field stuff and telling a coach who to sign or sell. We’ve seen it at Chelsea with Roman, we’ve seen it at Liverpool and Real Madrid. We’ve always been a club that relies on our own resources and what he’s said has been before he joined Board and became owner. We can’t compete financially with the big hitters. We all know that. We’re can’t drop £250m on a new team. But I don’t have a problem with our £75m budget. I have a problem when that sort of money isn’t spent wisely.

But this is where I have a problem. There should be pressure on Wenger to spend wisely and in a season like this, league expectations should be revised. Money isn’t the factor and although we can’t compete financially, that doesn’t mean anything goes on the pitch. I hope Wenger will be taken to task for this season but I doubt it. I hope they’re keeping an eye on the performance from the team this season and conclude it hasn’t been good enough. Wenger should be shown the door. But even if they’re not looking at the performances from that perspective, surely they’re scouting for managers that work on a similar budget and can deliver a lot more than what Wenger’s currently delivering. Simeone is an example. Klopp was another. That’s also my worry. Do we have anyone at the club looking at this?

When it comes to Board politics, we don’t know until there has been an action. Until someone has been sacked. The pressure could be on Wenger today, it might not. We can only speculate until something happens…..another contract renewal or he’s shown the door.

It's not the business speak, it's the mindset. There isn't an ounce of passion for the club or sport in general in anything he says. It's as if he's talking about a bank or a retail outlet. Traditionally this is not the sort of character who has been involved in British football. There has always been an expectation that when investors arrive they actually, well, invest something. That's what investment means. All he has done is purchase shares, the entire proceeds immediately leaving the club and landing in the pockets of some of the biggest profiteers in football history. Fuck all in and a king's ransom out. But not a penny has been invested in what remained and now money is being taken out, they can't be bothered to say why. It is crystal clear what Kroenke's intentions are, they can be judged by his actions. This isn't about playthings or more moderate input from a distance, this is about a fat slug methodically soaking up every last drop. Undoubtedly he's a shrewd investor. He will have known what direction football was heading when he got involved, such things are planned well in advance and insider information is how almost all top tier profits are made these days. How convenient for him to have this attitude, how noble. It allows his main facilitator, Arsene Wenger, to remain at the helm without question. It's cosy, it's lucrative and all he has to do is surf and sip cock[tails] until the 9-0 wins in France and the 7-0 wins in Spain and the not so secret meetings in England start making sense. It doesn't take a genius to figure out where all this is heading. The NFL of Europe is on the way and Mr Stan Kroenke will be in prime position when the time comes. Tradition and culture and history and the fan base and all that baggage, well we already heard what some other monied yank had to say about that. We know the score. It would be a mistake to give Kroenke even a sliver of credit. He's here to kill football and pick every last scrap of flesh from the carcass. It would be a huge mistake to assume otherwise.
