Or that he is a perfectly sane businessman?Originally Posted by 7sisters
One wonders why football supporters carry this strange sense of entitlement to other peoples' cash. It's his business. He's paid for it. It's profitable. Why in the name of a loving Christ would he put money into it?
Football has always been a money pit for the vast majority of clubs and a vanity project for owners.

“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
Yes, and they were morons, weren't they? Now the game is awash with money, the sensible lads are taling it out, not shovelling it in.
And all us daft cnuts that go to matches and take out Sky subscriptions are paying for Stan's ranch, Hector Bellerin's daft, long coats and Mourinho's pay-offs.
The world is surely a fúcked up place, sc

I was just reading the very same thread...
No owner investment at The Arsenal . . ?
Well, we knew that already.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
So what you're saying is that AW's teams' performance subsequent to Kroenke's arrival weren't his fault?
If you disagree with his business model, don't renew season tickets and don't attend matches
Of course, if he doing anything other than trying his best to make Arsenal the best we can possibly be, we should be questioning him.

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.
Painful to read, and say for that matter, but Arsenal is run like an American franchise.
