We get a new owner that actually cares about winning who adds in the maximum allowed every window to help us improve. We win things.
It's not difficult
Great theory ... but over the last five years of "Wenger Out" the asset value has doubled ... as you say it's truly not that difficult to grasp, fans protesting is great, fans creating a poisonous atmosphere that only hurts the players ... our owner has half a dozen franchises most of whose fans hate him and give him constant abuse ... has he sold any of them?
The trouble with posting a seemingly rational theory is when five minutes of research soon reveal that theory to be based on nothing but unfounded opinion, not evidence or facts ....
Do you honestly think Kroenke is going away? or that a few protesters and empty seats will change his mind? do you?
Exactly. He doesn't have a record of selling when under fan pressure. It's like booing our players before kick off every match and expecting a positive outcome.
Hes never really had fan pressure that has lost him money. St Louis fans blew up after it became clear that he was making a run for LA, which was more financially attractive.
American sports doesn't have half the vitriol English or European sports do. We dont f**k about, americans have been conditioned to cheer and clap no matter what imo (I could be wrong but that's how it seems for me).
He loses revenue he will reconsider his asset. Hes purely in it for the money as you keep telling me, so he will follow money.
If international fans keep seeing kronke out signs and empty seats for a season or two and the pressure increasing, the stock market will react, overseas fans will react and he will eventually react.
Ask hicks and Gillett etc. Or we could sit here cheering the fact that we are competing with everton and west ham for signings and losing out.
It depends on if you are happy with that or not.
Have you thought about the aftermath and long term effects this would have on the club? This isn’t the Hicks and Gillett days. Owners can’t simply takeover a club and pour money into it until it’s successful. We depend on our sponsors and revenue generated to be successful on the pitch. This isn’t like a tap you can turn on and off whenever convenient. We put ourselves in a position where we may never recover from. Fans may walk away from the club and never return which hurts us in the long term. I can only see Kroenke walking after a long sustained run of us falling further down the table and a drastic drop in the clubs value and revenue. As much as people dislike KSE, I think watching Arsenal fall in such a way would hurt even more.
There has to be another way. Putting pressure on the club and owners to do better is something I can get behind but this sort of move is setting a fire in the stadium whilst still sitting in your seat and waiting for the owner to run from the building first. Once that fire is out of control it’s going to be impossible to control. You have to be willing to think that through.
The way I see it, this is basically what needs to happen. If not this then what weaponx suggested in his last post. The solution absolutely must be something that doesn’t cost us further on the pitch.
