But I think we're a long way from the sort of temperatures Kroenke is prepared to endure. St Louis didn't make him sweat and that was pretty vicious. These guys develop sure things on paper and then put plans into action and go to bank. They don't give a fuck who is affected in the process. 2019/20 is the year to watch. I'll predict it now. Wenger will be getting his new contract and the Euro mobsters will have made giant strides to locking in the "elite" teams in their money league. That's why Kroenke won't take a billion and walk and that's why he wants Wenger here doing what Wenger does. Football is the theatre that distracts from the real business.
