Arsenal:KROENKE OUT? Why Arsenal fans are about to declare war on billionaire owner?
Gunners fans are set to stage a protest against the club’s ownership ahead of Friday night’s game against Everton.
Those were the seven words that closed out the open letter to fans that Arsenal published late on Tuesday evening when announcing they were withdrawing from the Super League project.
Those were also seven words which summed up what Arsenal fans would see as the cowardice of Stan Kroenke.
As the sole owner of Arsenal, his signature should have been put at the end of that letter.
But he hid again behind a wall of silence, just as he did on Thursday night when he left his son, Josh, to face the music during a fiery conference call with infuriated supporters.
But that did little to quell the unrest. Arsenal fans have grown tired of Kroenke’s absent ownership. His refusal to put his name to the monumental errors that have been made in the past week is seen by many as the final straw.
„He is the overseas franchise investor who embarrassed and shamed our club and embarrassed English football. Why isn’t his name on the apology?
„This is someone who took over Arsenal 10 years ago making a legal promise to the takeover panel that he would talk with supporters and supporter groups. And how many meetings have there been since then? Not one by Stan Kroenke himself.
The majority of Arsenal fans were aghast when they first heard the news that their club would be among the 12 founder members of the new Super League.

Mikel Arteta on #KroenkeOut protests:
„The fans have to express. It’s their right and they have to do it freely. It’s time to leave them space to express themselves and now somehow we have to get them closer to us, believing in what we do.”
