The story goes that Kroenke was simply flicking thru newspapers and everyone had headlines about the premiership so he chose Arsenal. We had a Russian Oligarch in Alisher Usminov who wanted to take over the club and run it like his friend Abramovitch at Chelsea but Kroenke wouldn't allow it, After sanctions due to the Salisbury incident Usminov withdrew all his investment from Arsenal. It is widely speculated that in over a decade Stan Kroenke has not invested one penny of his personal wealth in Arsenal despite being worth about 6 billion. Why the hell did he pick us and make us suffer I have no idea, once he's gone then we might stand a chance of getting back to our best
