I am quite cynical but I'm also a pragmatic person. I simply cannot see Kroenke giving enough of a shit about the footballing side to step on Wenger's toes. All evidence to date suggests this.sk-gtfo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:13 pmLol you're even more cynical than me.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 4:49 pmKroenke junior is not here to do a Gap analysis or root and branch review on the footballing side.

If you're right lets hope he reaches the conclusion, that with the team on a downward trend, that the best thing to do is get on the phone to Usmanov's people..
If only, f*cking poisonous yanks.
Josh Kroenke openly admits he doesnt know much about football.NickF wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 6:06 pmYou know him personally then?Gunner Rob wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 1:22 pmlook at it from the view point of Josh Kroenke who knows nothing about football.

The player fire sale might have just helped offset the loss of CL money. The fact that Wenger was willing to agree to the sale of so many of his loyalists shows how much he's willing to sacrifice to stay at the helm. Any financial decline is going to be slow and barely noticeable like the football. There would come a point when the need to hire a top coach to help us punch above our weight can no longer be sidestepped.Wilson wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2018 9:36 amThis comes on the back of reports that with new commercial deals to be negotiated (shirt sponsors mainly), and the fact we dont look like making the CL this year or in the new future, potential sponsors are low-balling any deals given our new status as a bonafide europea league team.
I said a while ago that Wenger was failing on the money making side as well as the football side. He has been spending big on players and failing to keep us in the top 4. Wenger is a very expensive manager to back - he is the 4th highest paid manager in the world, spends a lot of money and cannot qualify for entry into the CL cash cow. There are reports of declines in sales of merchandise & less demand for season & match day tickets.
Before hand he we used to always qualify for the CL and have a positive net spend, & the fans were generally content consumers (thats what we are to them, not fans) but those days are long gone and its being noticed by the American capitalists.
It might not be fan pressure due to lack of results that gets Wenger sacked, he might actually get the can because he is costing them club too much money.
There should be a price on his head!...DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2018 7:37 amI am quite cynical but I'm also a pragmatic person.

Kroenke is vermin but he is also a cunning bastard business man and his concern is profit maximisation.

The CL money is not worth what it used to be to us as a club. The TV deals far far outweigh the CL income. Also Wenger has unloaded players (particularly players like Walcott and Giroud who were on huge wages) so our spend on new players is next to nothing in the bigger scheme of things. Wenger is the perfect manager for Kroenke because he doesn't ask for the millions and millions that are required to build a league winning side.Wilson wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2018 9:36 amThis comes on the back of reports that with new commercial deals to be negotiated (shirt sponsors mainly), and the fact we dont look like making the CL this year or in the new future, potential sponsors are low-balling any deals given our new status as a bonafide europea league team.
