It would be best if fans could stay away from games and not buy the merchandise. Kroenke may still fire Wenger fresh into a new deal if his pockets bleed enough cash. It happened with the LA Rams long underperforming coach, Jeff Fisher. The problem had to stare Kroenke dead in the face. He thought St. Louis was a struggling city that couldn’t afford to support three major sport teams. So he moved the Rams to LA. No excuses can made in LA about a struggling city. Fans have the money to attend games. So when he sees their still struggling to fill the stadium in LA, it’s obvious it’s a sporting problem and he sacks the head coach.

The only way failure will translate to Stan is if the stadium is empty. He’s a real estate guy. Sponsorships not the bread and butter for him. He bought us when we had shite sponsorship deals but had just moved into a new stadium and able to pay off our debt just off the revenue generated from ticket sales. As long the stadiums full, failure won’t translate.
Slightly off track here, but L.A. has been a graveyard for NFL franchises. For some reason, it just doesn't work there.

Also, Wenger and Kroenke can fuck off.
