But why would he replace AW? He is the best man to deliver good business results for Kroenke. If you think that Stan his motivated by shiny silver pots (other than the commercial windfall it may bring) then you are mistaken, I'm afraid.
If you were CEO of your own business and your MD was delivering fantastic revenue streams, keeping a long customer list going and looking to expand into new markets that were rich in potential, would you replace him?
Therein being the essence of the complaint, naye revolution.
He is content with doing enough. We all suspect we could be doing more, perhaps a lot more. Ultimately elite level football clubs should exist to win trophies, the whole revenue stream thing will flow as a natural consequence of this.
Yes and No, as sw says, winning trophy's will generate extra income and increase profits.... but SK has a history of his teams not winning things and him not investing in them to win things... American sport is different to UK sports, no relegation, guaranteed income no matter what.
SK out (and take AW with you)

This is the problem when football is treated as just another business. It isn't, because normal business doesn't have customers with quite such an irrational and permanent emotional affiliation with the *cough* brand *vomit*.
Our club should have custodians, not capitalists. Of course we did, but the traitors sold out for their 30 pieces of silver.
Right. But we already make plenty of money, albeit through television deals rather than winning trophies, and the best manager we've ever had is already in place. So, why change anything.
Also, we mustn't forget that Wenger's magical (in football anyway) ability to balance the transfer fees & players' wages books was the reason we hired Him in the first place; nothing to do with Kroenke.
