    As all this falls apart, let's not forget that they did this...or tried to.
    Wankers.

    Chelsea fans with a banner tonight that said “dreams can’t be bought”.

    They sure about that?

    Well done for the demo but the irony of it.

    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.

    I guess this is what happens when you sell your soul to a well!! (yeah, yeah.....just reminded me of something biblical).

    Note how the clubs with billionaire "football fans" as owners (those who actually spent their own money) were the first to listen to their fans and pull out. (PSG owners didn't even need their fans to tell them this was crap- " no relegation" - anyone who grew up with football as their first sport would spit at this)

    I will repeat this over and over again, Kronke is easily the worst thing to happen to Arsenal in a generation...honestly the harm he has done to us will only properly be measured by Historians when they look back. Never has the feelings of hollowness and emptiness pervaded this club the way it does now.....and this emanates directly from this zombie of an owner.

    It would be great if this whole shameful debacle led to he and his journeymen yank owners ( those who can't be bothered to understand the culture of the game) selling off or being forced to sell off by the government or someone else.

    It really stinks to be an Arsenal fan with this kind of leadership. To think chavs and citeh fans will firmly get more respect than us now. Wow, the lows keep coming.

    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.

    Bear in mind, the staff and the players found out just a couple of hours before we did. These owners don't respect anyone. Not their staff, not the fans and certainly not the traditions and history of the club. All the vitriol should be reserved for the Kroenkes. I think it would be unfair to level it at the team or the club in general. There are different reasons to be angry at the players of course. But I don't think they were involved in this particular shambles in any way.

    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.
