I continue to be amazed that fellow Arsenal fans criticise Kronke, when he does little wrong and merely allows the manager to do his job. One can critise Wenger for the way he goes about things, but owners that interfere can be a nuisance.
I just wish Wenger would go out and buy 4 or 5 top players and get rid of the dross; Mertesacker, Debuchy, Sanogo, Szczesny, Gibbs, Giroud, Arteta, Flamini and Rosciky.
Sign; Wanyama, Aurier, Ben Chilwell, Subotic and a world class striker, I would love to see Lewadowski, but would be difficult to prise away from Bayern Munich.

I suppose you can ask how well have we donexin the league since kronke took over and are his motive for him or the club and people end up making their opinions of him. Plus his sports clubs records. Not too many of them but they make a hell of a lot of money though.

Meant to end with not too many of them win things in fact none but they all make a lot of money, when they don't he gets shot.

Steve r - I tend to disagree with most of what you say. Kronke allows Wenger a free hand to run the club, without interference. We have been one of the most stable and successful clubs for decades, particularly under Wenger's management. Since he arrived at the club, we have had new training facillities, a new stadium, 3 league titles, 6 FA Cups, 6 Community Shields and many finals. We have continuous Champins League Football, including a final against Barcelona and have finished in the top four every season. Very few Premier League clubs have bettered his record and those have been financially doped. The criticism of Kronke baffles me, he paid handsomely for his shareholding and has taken nothing out. Of course one can criticise Wenger, but he will be a very hard act to follow. Top four isn't easy, this season Chelsea, Liverpool and either Man C or Man U will probably miss out on a top four finish and CL football next season. If we mange to get above Man City, we will have finished top of the big clubs in the Premier League. I have a horrible feeling that we will struggle post-Wenger and perhaps people like you will realise how good he was. In any event, as fans, we should get behind Wenger, particularly after all he has achieved at the club. The fans behaviour is shameful.

I can't knock your opinion but its not mine. The reason we have done what you say is because of huge revenues coming in and nearly every club in the league has done the same or doing so in the near future. Kronkes sports empire is not built to win things, google it and see what he has won with his many sports dealings, zip, that's what. he's upset numerous fans because of his lack of love for his teams and supporters, he won't let our second biggest share holder in to meetings, he's banned him. he's never come out and said once that he wants this club to be the biggest and best and he keeps quiet because he sees nothing wrong with this club while it is making huge profits, not winning trophies. To reward a manager year after year for not progressing in the league and for wanting to give that same man a three year contract when he has not progressed this team at all, says it all.

Bang on steve. He spent money on that stat dna company. He wants to be the next Oakland As. Use stats to buy cheap for decent players. Just decent enough to keep us in CL not creme of the crop to win big titles.

Hopefully kronke does the decent thing and sells his shares so we can finally get our team where they should be again at the top.

Steve r - I adore the naivety of fans. Kronke is a billionaire and won't sell, in any event there is no guarantee that Usmanov would be any better. Wenger is one of the world's top managers and will be extremely difficult to replace, he has taken us to the verge of the top clubs in the world. Simeone, doesn't even speak English and would be extremely difficult to prise away from Athletico, who are on the verge of reaching the CL final. I have seen halfwits suggesting replacing Wenger with the likes of Martin O'Neill! Be sensible and realistic.

Rg wenger was a top manager, not anymore. he's yesterday. And not so hard to repkace, if he was why is his recenr record so average.
28 Apr 2016 15:28:59
Wenger is the best manager out there. A good manager will never come out and blame the people that pay him. We were doing good b4 the current owners arrived. Current owners need to leave. Bring back David Dein and watch Wengers magic.
28 Apr 2016 15:31:24
Need to keep Wenger he is by far the best out there. Get rid of owners who are only interested in money. Bring back David Dein n watch Wenger shine.

Rg why are you calling someone a half wit, that person may not agree with you but i'm sure he wouldn't call your intelligence into question, because of your opinion. Respect pal Respect.
