Tell that to all the fans calling for Wenger's head. Top clubs ONLY value silverware. Everything else is subsidiary.
You're an idiot. Go read the backlash that has already made its way to the internet. "Silverware isn't everything" rings true, especially for historic clubs. I understand you are too nearsighted to understand this, but people who have been Arsenal fans for 20, 30, 40+ years don't want to see the club tarnished by an investor who wants to join the circus.

Hahaha wow, you sure do get defensive really easy. I'm not sure how you gathered that I'm nearsighted, your deduction methods are extraordinary I guess. Sherlock levels AT LEAST.
I've heard mostly comments to the contrary of what you say. Of course, everything is hearsay and this is an unprecedented topic for the club. Everyone will have a different opinion. I talked to my old soccer coach about this possibility (before there were actual reports, just a hypothetical). He is a former FIFA ref and has alot of great insight into the english clubs and the fans having spent alot of time around both.
His opinion on this? There is no consensus. There is no right answer. There are old fashioned fans that want to keep things true to the status quo. There are other groups that want to win at all costs. There are fans that will lose sleep over what they want, because they can't decide.
The fact is "Arsenal fans that have been fans for 20,30, 40+ years" aren't the only voices of the club. They are a specific group with a specific way of thinking. There are just as many fans excited about this possibility merely because it opens up many more doors for the club. The biggest of which is the possibility to win more trophies.
