Really, you don't think Kroenke has a good relationship with Wenger, you don't think they might actually be on friendly terms now?

Wenger has made them money, the board have known Wenger for years and back him 100% as well, it's all a bit of gentlemans club.

I don't know this Fischer guy, but I'm willing to bet he wasn't manager for 20 years.

I'd love nothing more than for the above not to be true, but that's what I believe, to me it seems their support is unwavering, where other clubs would have come down hard after some terrible results, our club has just sugar coated it. Arsenal isn't some normal sports team, it's a club where someone is ingrained in the clubs culture and where almost everything revolves around one man.

Kroenke is a businessman and a pretty ruthless one, he and Wenger according to reports haven't even spoken in 2017

Wenger has made them money, but the point is he's on a downward trajectory and the longer in continues the less money he will make for the club

How long Jeff Fisher had been at the club is irrelevant, he was sacked six months after being given a contract extension after going on a losing run.

Your belief is based on a sense of negativity, you feel negative i appreciate that.....but it doesn't make you objective in your viewpoint.

Maybe but as mentioned above he ran his American team into the ground didn't he? At the moment there's no money lost, tickets were already sold, if season ticket sales are slow perhaps it might change something.

I'll make this clear, I sincerely hope Kroenke is thinking what you say he's thinking, I'm just not convinced.

There's another thing lurking in the background - this 2019/20 Euro Super League. This thing hasn't gone away and, if anything, is quietly gathering steam. Who will be the 4 or 5 English clubs to cement their place at the top table if that horrible idea takes form? On pure financials alone, the chavs and the gypos. On history, Utd. That leaves Liverpool (already one of the "Big 5"), the spuds (with their upwards trajectory) and us (yes, "Big 5", but also heading down). A couple of years in the Europa while the spuds play the CL - I wonder? Can Kroenke take the risk of missing that boat, or even allowing the slim possibility of missing out? Wenger has already demonstrated time and again he can't master the Euro stage. Kroneke will have all the inside information he needs on this one. Just like I'm sure he had the inside track on TV deals when he made his initial "investment". This could be the big move where national football is pillaged and ditched and 100% of the resources end up in the pockets of a few elite teams. A bit like that banker bailout and maybe even necessary to keep this ridiculous money train on the rails.
