For fun, I started looking at the performance of some of Stan Kroenke's other teams.
It's pretty grim.
For all of Ivan Gladiz's praise during Q&A; our owner cannot be called Ambitous.

Oh I don't know, I mean he did move his NHL franchise away from its home and loyal fan base in St Louis across to Los Angeles based on pure ambition; that it will make his net worth increase!

No kidding and his son seems even worse so no silver lining in him taking over from his father at some point, the two teams he's president of both have done even worse since Stan appointed him.
Just look att Colorado Avalanche in the NHL from 95-00 (oldest stats i could find) before Stan they finished 2nd on average in their conference.
Then Stan came in and the following seasons they finished 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9. and it basically just got worse with a couple of 15th places at worst, but those early seasons when he still had the team the previous owners had built made the average league finish under him 7th. And then came president Josh and made it 9th (11th if not for a fluke 2nd place in 2014)
So as long as KSE controls the majority at Arsenal there's no way AFC will ever compete at the level we fans want.

If only Usmanov owned the club then Arsene would do? :-)
Absolutely everything exactly the same as he does under Stan?
Usmanov would not sack Arsene and Kronke does absolutely nothing to prevent Arsene from doing everything and anything he wants.
He gives the fans the manager they want
He gives that manager all he wants
What more can the man do?

if he owned it arsene would be gone, plain and simple. usmanov in my opinion would go the extra mile, look at everton since his mate has gone there.
