Cheers.

There's 5 people on our board. None of whom with a clue about football, and none of whom should be anywhere near the club.

We have 3 posh old gits - a banker, a home furnishings retailer, and a glorified realtor . Then there's Kroenke & Son, who might as well be from Mars.

That's 4 "yes-men" without a single cent of equity in the club, and Stan, who pays all their salaries and calls all the shots.

The only thing Josh Kroenke has over the other 4 old geezers is a friendly face and knowing to say the kinds of things the fans love to hear.

I'm not having any of it. He still won't put a single cent into the club. Just like his dad.

The club will still have to "kill what it eats" in the market.

He's saying the right things in all fairness, and we've had a good summer window. We'll only really see what they want for us over the next few years.

Stan will own the club but Josh is the one we'll here from and maybe see at games

We only had a good summer after fan protests and low preseason ticket sales threatened Stans share prices. I'm not buying their crap for another minute. They had every intention of going into this season having spent next to nothing.

If not for the livid fans not simply being appeased with Wengers head last year, Pepe, Ceballos and Tierney ALL would have gone the same "Pipped to the signature by another team" way as usual. Don't be fooled by the last minute spending. Plan is still what it always was for the Kroenkes...

Rinse and ruin AFC to finance their US sports franchises. The Kroenkes are a cancer and we need them to sell up and sod off. Would happily go another 20 years with no title, if it meant getting rid of those yank s

Hate em. They're a shining example of the "fat greedy pigs with snouts in trough" scuzfest modern sport generally and football overwhelmingly, has become.

After a bad start, I think they are now getting serious about our club. The backroom changes,re-structuring and very careful choosing of the Coach proves all this. Then to spend on several players is encouraging. Basically,they have done what we have asked! Now we should back them and give them a chance. Emery is slowly building the kind of squad he wants,youth,experience and quality. He just seems to 'get' Arsenal,and I'm warming to Josh,I think he's starting to get it as well. Building solid foundations for a new era maybe? Very early days of course,but if we don't back 'em we won't get far. Bring back the spirit of Highbury,back Emery and his team -LOUDLY-,and football can be fun again!

They're American owners who's set ups are used to good backroom staff to run their teams, as long as we show a bit of improvement they will invest.

They have invested a bit before this summer, could have had Mike Ashley incharge

Most likely though is this is his warm up for taking over the rams, gotta get the fans on side, Stan is actually pretty likable when chatting about the rams, he says the right stuff

How does that even work? Ruin a billion pound club does not make any sense.

The ruin is in what we've since the ten years DJ. All good, fat cash cow in business and finance terms but in premier league terms...well ya know how the story's gone.

Stan anyway, just wants the club healthy on business paper. If he could have gotten away with installing Emery and only committing to spending chump change again he would have. Even out of the CL, our share price and value is kept fat by fan base.

It's the one thing in today's version of football which leaves fans the ultimate last say. Provided there's enough working together. Empty seats in stadiums and fans screaming for boardroom heads, makes them City boys twitchy. You don't buy those fans off quick and ya share price is tanking. For the original big 4 especially, it's a big deal. We got Pepe because those preseason protests made some wealthy people nervous. The pressure must be kept on the Kroenkes..Gooners MUST NOT make the mistake of being appeased by this window. Stan needs to drop some cash on at least a couple more to come, before he's let off the hook.

He has only had sole ownership for a year. Also, cant blame him for the bad way the money has been spent.

He could have.

And all that goes against the idea he wants to "rinse and ruin".
