    These are words that will send a chill down the spine of any true football fan. This of course begs a few ominous questions

    why did he buy Arsenal ?

    Is this why Arsenal have some of the highest ticket prices in the world ? (which are hardly merited due to an overwhelming lack of success at the club)

    Is Kroenke using Arsenal as a cash Cow ?

    Now this may be purely coincidental, but there is no smoke without fire

    ...meanwhile on the Southampton board, Saints fans are getting excited about this week's upcoming Prem fixture and the forthcoming trip to Milan ... :)

    Is this a true fan who calls himself Saints fan 08 yet has never commented on his teams board?

    Superb thread!

    I have little doubt that this disgraceful news will have many of us feeling soiled and saddened.

    Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I know you must have done so with a heavy heart, my friend.

    You don't require a pipe and deerstalker to work out that he bought Arsenal to make money!

    Unfortunately, the days of the old 'philanthropist' owner are pretty much gone. Nowadays, it's all about bucks!....

    Have you seen Kroenke's ranch ?

    It's Arsenal (specifically paying fans) who are playing the philanthropist in this case

    <laugh> ****ing hell, you've dedicated a whole thread to this **** up, despite being absolutely ripped apart on the other one where you brought it up.

    For those who don't know, SaintsHiag claimed that Kronke 'hand his hands in the till' and stole $725m from Arsenal to pay for his Texas ranch.

    We're still waiting for him to provide any shred of evidence to back it up though.

    So Kroenke himself has publicly declared that he couldn't give a toss about Arsenal winning trophies. Why do you think he bought the club ?

    Show me the quote where he said he 'couldn't give a toss about Arsenal winning trophies' or even one where he said 'I didn't buy Arsenal to win trophies' ?

    What he said was that if you're only in it to win Championships then you'd never get involved, because nobody is likely to be able to compete with Man City and Chelsea on a financial footing.

    Found that evidence yet that he stole $725m to pay for his ranch ?

    I see that @Saintsfan08 has tagged this thread Arsenal ATM. What he should have tagged it with was Arsenal AGM, because then he could have read Arsenal's publicly available accounts which show that Arsenal paid no dividends to the directors and lists in detail the salaries and remunerations paid out.

    Don't take my word for it. Educate yourself, go and read our annual accounts.

    It might help you to prevent making a prick out of yourself in future .......

    You seem obsessed with this ranch. Kroenke has raided Arsenal's piggy bank and that money is never coming back. Maybe if you get yourself to texas and show up at Kroenke's ranch and show your season ticket he'll let you pitch a tent for a few nights.You've paid for it anyway

    Says the person who's just dedicated a whole thread to it. Repeating the **** up you made on the other thread about it <laugh>

    Why do you keep ducking my question when I ask you to provide evidence that Kronke stole $725m from Arsenal to pay for it ?

    You're a bit **** at this wumming lark aren't you ?
