    Well tbh pretty much anything has been more enjoyable than watching Arsenal this season...

    That's it then.

    Game over man, game over!
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Don't count your chickens, maybe as long as there's one other team left the Kroenkes will go for it - after all, Scotland shows two-team leagues can survive...

    Time to make Kroenke's life a living hell. He's thousands of miles away and hiding in one of his 300 ranches, but I'm sure inventive ways can be found.

    How you go about getting them to sell is an open question, given there's no legal framework or voting or whatnot. United have been struggling with this.

    Maybe pressure the government to pursue the 50+1 route?

    Now that a unified lash-back has frightened these vampires back into the darkness - how about we all do the same to put the health service back in public hands, or make shitty corporations pay their taxes, or put an end to this lunatic covid hysteria?

    It's good the fans all stood up as one. It's a shame it takes football to do it though. Why can't it happen in all aspects of life? These arrogant masters of the universe can be put back in their coffins, given the unity and resolve of the many who have to suffer these few.

    Why not just pass a rule that owners have to be resident in the same country as the club they own? That means they couldn't buy clubs across Europe, it would also bring them closer to the consequences of their actions. And if you aren't resident then you have to pay a 100% tax on earnings. Actually, make it 110%.

    What is really required is a way to make these absentee landlords accessible to the fans. I don't mean being invited around for tea. I mean hearing the chants outside their windows rather than watching it all on TV.

    That could work, yeah.

    But then you still have your Steve Dales who that didn't work for.

    I'd still like to see fan ownership more broadly implemented, but your suggestion would be easier to implement.

    Yeah, that too. The vultures have shown their hand. Now let the champion of the people, Boris, put his money where his mouth is. Or will he just slink away and forget all about his rehearsed outrage?

    I don't expect anything from government. All talk when the people are talking, and then drop it when the interest wanes. But FIFA and UEFA (who have somehow come out of this as victims) could pass that rule regarding residency.
