The fans are asked to wait while the shareholders get serviced. That's normal. The customer (or revenue generator) is always wrong and always last. This is how much they love Arsenal. Yes, I'm sure there's a lot of scope to grow Stan's investment in the coming years. He'll do well when he cashes out. I assume he'll do that, not having any connection to the club and knowing fuck all about football. Maybe he'll come to love Arsenal more than money - LOL.
But he at least has an interest in sports and owns a few teams. You're picking the wrong battle to vent against the evils of corporations as well.
