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...
