The repercussions have started following the 1-1 draw with Brighton on Sunday that effectively ended our top-four hopes, and as expected, the players and Unai Emery have come in for a lot of stick but that is only the beginning.
Absent owner Stan Kroenke has been attacked left right and centre on social media and rightfully so, as owners go we have been dealt a sh!t hand, and my fellow Gooners have not been slow to express their displeasure with American Billionaire.
Here is just a sample of the comments taken from Twitter ….
It is hard to fathom the way that Kroenke is running the club, we clearly need investment in players to stay competitive, you do not need to be a brain surgeon to figure that out and for some inexplicable reason, he simply will not inject the necessary funds into the club to make that happen.
We make huge chunks of money from TV, gate receipts, merchandise, sponsorship and much more but that is just the tip of the iceberg compared to what we can be making and for someone that has made himself into a Billionaire not to grasp that is beyond me.
Arsenal deserve far more than what the American provides and I am not just talking about money now, I am talking about his support, his presence and love for the club, none of which he has ever shown. You just have to see him with his American teams to realise how far down the totem pole we really are in his list of priorities.
The fans want him gone and right now we are staying loyal to the club but if this sorry saga continues then the supporters will start to react, attendance figures will drop, merchandise sales will slow down and the club will begin a slow decline which will really affect the bottom line.
Stan Kroenke needs to get real now if he wants to see higher returns on his investment and recover the support of the fans.
