Even I agree that the latter is not realistic.

I suppose it comes down to the fact that Kronke is a business man. it is not worth spending Ł500million on the asset that is Arsenal FC when he will not get anywhere near that sort of money back on his investment, especially given that he doesn't own anywhere near 100% of the club.

We must remember - he is not a fan, he is an investor.
I dont think there is overwhelming evidence that the board wont invest at all. I think there is overwhelming evidence that they have spent a fair bit. Considerably less than the three big spenders, yes, but in some summers it has been substantial.

The problem is that spending money over the last 3-4 years has not made a blind bit of difference. If anything, we have got worse. I see no real reason to think that throwing more money into mix is going to help.

I think we all know what needs to happen, or at least part of what needs to happen......
