I didn't need Swiss Ramble to inform me that Kroenke is a cu*t. However it seems that there is a notion that owner's have a duty to plunge money into a club. No owner of American sports teams put money into a club to buy players, front salaries, etc. In fact it's forbidden by league rules. There are 'rich' clubs by nature of their individual media deals, ticket prices, concessions, merchandise, etc. The New York Yankees have about twice the revenue of the Kansas City Royals, for example, but that revenue is solely generated by the club and there are league rules in place regarding how much a team can fork out for player salaries. Plus there's really no such thing as buying a player with solely cash.Originally Posted by 7sisters
Painful to read, and say for that matter, but Arsenal is run like an American franchise.
