English fans are mad at Stan Kroenke’s recent American success

He just was in Los Angeles on Sunday opening his new $5 billion stadium and then last night was at Disney watching his team knock off the Clippers.
And now Arsenal fans are mad that he hasn’t spent any money on the team in the last five years.

The lack of spending was the reason many fans eventually turned on club legend Arsene Wenger towards the end of his tenure. But it's become painfully clear it wasn't the Frenchman's fault.

A report from Swiss Ramble has confirmed Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has invested absolutely nothing into the club in recent years. The investigation covers all 20 current Premier League clubs going back to the start of the 2014-15 season. And while Chelsea have seen £440million poured into the club by Roman Abramovich, Arsenal have received precisely zero pounds.
quote:
The report confirmed: "Arsenal received no funding in last 5 years, either from Kroenke or the bank. "In contrast, they made £101m payments (debt £40m & interest £61m). "Also paid KSE [Kroenke's company] £6m for 'advisory services'." Incredibly, 13 clubs have all been given money to spend by their owners, with seven of those being given £100m or more. Even Brighton, Fulham and Aston Villa have all been handed more than £150m to play with. Meanwhile, Arsenal are forced to sell big-name players before they are able to buy.

Honestly I had forgotten that Kroenke owned Arsenal in addition to the Nuggs and Rams.
Jesus that guy is rich as frick.
The Avalanche as well.

To be fair to Arsenal fans, they've been mad at Kroenke for awhile now.

He doesn't spend real money on a fake sport. What's the problem

The money thrown around by European soccer owners/clubs isn't anything to scoff at.

I guess I've never spent a second thinking about Stan Kroenke either, because I didn't know he was married to a Walton as well. Damn.
That is one rich family.

Yeah because the dude holds Arsenal hostage, and sacrifices club success for being a revenue stream for other business ventures. (So-Fi, Rams, Nuggets)

American football isn’t a real sport?

He uses arsenal’s money to pay for the Rams

KROENKE OUT

Arsenal hasn't won the Premier League in almost 2 decades. Kroenke's only had a majority share since 2011. And they've still won the FA Cup 4 times in the last 7 years. And at the end of the day, he owns the team. If he doesn't want to dump millions into transfer players, that's his prerogative.

He’s an American
His only reason for owning Arsenal is to make money
I can’t really hate on him for it

They have been pissed for many years.
He did an interview, and claimed he didn't buy Arsenal to win titles(trophies). He basically admitted he bought them as a cash cow.
He is the worst.

They were upset that he went into quarantine to get into the NBA bubble, but refused to go to the FA cup final.

He better enjoy it now, cause STL is coming for his arse on October 2021.

His dad owned a lumber company so he was born with money, but he actually made most of his money AFTER marrying Anne Walton. He opened a company that developed the plazas around Walmarts.

Not just that, I don't think Arsenal have missed the Champions League or the Europa League since the mid-1990's. If you're going to have sympathy for an English football club and its fans, it should be Bury, Leyton Orient, Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool, Portsmouth or AFC Wimbledon.
