Stan Kroenke doesn't care about Arsenal FC, we are merely an asset to him that he will cash in on when and where it suits him. He turned down Usmanov's reportedly final offer of £2bn for the club but that's nothing to do with the fact he loves Arsenal and wants to invest in it, we are merely a financial nest egg sitting there nicely in case he needs to use it for another commercial project. Trust me, we will not be challenging for the league any time soon because the investment just won't be there, depressing but all very real.

Kroenke's aren't the issue, yes I would rather someone else who is football focused and actually cares about Arsenal run the club, but the Kroenke's have been investing in the team.

We are a mid table club and the past few seasons have spent / wasted millions on attempting to improve the team.

Money isn't the issue here.

the only mistake the Kroenkes have made is trusting a crook like Raul and then a non-hoper like Edu

they need to find somone who can steer the club in the right direction.

Mid Table!?!?

I wish!

Maybe you should check and have a look where we are

The Kroenke's issue is lack of experience in runnning a 'soccer' team, not investment.

Yeah. They’ve reinvested the profits and we can’t say we’ve been left wanting in recent transfer windows. We’ve actually all been relatively satisfied with the business at first glance too. The problem is once these players become fully Arsenalfied they turn to shit.

The Kroenke’s failure has been to employ a decent hierarchy capable of building and running a competitive club. Look at all the chopping and changing that’s gone on over the last few seasons. Smacks of a lack strategy and direction.

Agreed - though the owners have also been let down badly by those appointed to run the club. My view is that this is a problem exacerbated by over-reliance on AW while he was here. It would have been better to move AW upstairs - at least for a transition period. The perfect storm was Gazidis leaving also when he did. The failure to replace Gazidis with someone else experience with running an EPl club was perhaps the biggest mistake made...
