Considering the actions of the previous shareholders and the self sustaining model we had in place in the glory days, how comes we were able to achieve success with them? I wouldn't say they had more of a passion for the club than Stan considering they've sold up.
Nah - Fiszman and Dein undoubtedly had passion for the club, and Nina Bracewell Smith is on record as saying that she deeply regrets her mistake in selling to Kroenke. I don't think this indicates a lack of passion...Originally Posted by Power_n_Glory
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
It's pretty easy for her to say that now, now that there's nothing she can do about it even if she wanted to.
RIP to Danny. Nina….it’s lip service. I don’t believe her. Even if she was still on the Board, what would she do differently? David Dein introduced Stan and Jabba to the club. It just so happened the Stan move backfired because he switched sides, joined the Board and was put on the fast track of ‘How to be an Arsenal Board member’. Before he was welcomed the Board kept repeating the self-sustaining model we hold so dear, they didn’t want to invest their own funds and made sure Stan knew the deal before agreeing to sell up. It took a few years of indoctrination but he’s probably not complaining about the model. More coins for him. But overall, I can’t see a major shift in thinking at Board level from what we previously had. They were always happy to see Wenger doing things on the cheap. But when he arrived, the possibility of really being bigger than what we were came to life. Credit to Dein for bringing him here and that’s my main concern really. Will the new owner appoint the right coach and give Wenger his marching orders. But even with Stan at the helm, I don’t think that should impede us from being successful.
As bold as brash, "I've got money and I'll do what I want with it". What an utter cunt.
The sad thing is Wenger has bought into all of this.
When you have a man like PHW in charge of authorising who owns and doesn't own a club you know trouble is just round the corner, after all look at the contempt that guy had for the fans.
We should have known it would be bad when he changed his mind about him and decided he was a good guy.

What a strange set of circumstances when David Dein who is 100% Arsenal had to resign over negotiations with Kroenke, yet we still are lumbered with Kroenke who is at least as culpable for our plight as Arsene. Seems to me his interest is purely financial and success is an optional extra.

Another bunch of fans that Stan has fucked over, what I love is that he's essentially happy to shit on his own doorstep Missouri is his home state and yet quite happy to make himself public enemy no1 in St Louis.
In the space of 4 days, we have three Hroenke threads - this was the first - and it was mine so I have merged the other two into this.
I didn't create my own Kroenke thread to be special, I just literally couldn't be bothered to find another one to attach my video to.
