That's about right. The club is pulling every trick in the book to milk the fans for the duration of Kroenke's tenure. After that it's somebody else's problem. I'm betting Wenger will move on at exactly the same time Kroenke sells up. It's a sting, not at all uncommon in business. You promise the customer everything, get their money, do a runner and leave the mess to the next eager piggy. It's not incompetence though, when you plan for an an outcome and then hit that outcome bang on it's the very opposite of incompetence.

Any chance they'll let any real fans in? Or is this a staged event?

Pitch getting ready for the unveiling of Higuain
Can't even get the sales right. Other clubs know we're a push over and eventually sell on the cheap. Liverpool won't budge, Madrid didn't, neither did Fiorentina!Thierry Henry was sold for £16m a year after a then world record bid of around £50m had been rejected. Patrick Vieira left for shy of £14m, when the previous summer the club had turned down almost twice that. And most recently Cesc Fabregas' sale for £36m may have represented a stunning profit, but Barcelona know the hammer went down at below the market value.
The Thierry Henry sale for £16m is a shocker.
Wenger going to the board to demand them to lower Cescs transfer fee.
This club is a laughing stock
