    Well written not that Kroenke will care one bit about that though.

    I read the letter.To be frank,yes I’m happy that fans are ready to take some sort of initiative atleast.But this letter would in truth be as ineffective as sending no letter at all.

    They’re asking a person to “reinvegorate” the club.This same person in more than decade long ownership has attended a mere handful of games.He’s probably the least interested owner in football and most of all he’s taken a loan to buy the remaining shares of around 525m from Usmanov.Now,if I were him my general idea would be to repay those loans from the revenue of the club,even though he wouldn’t do it.I think he’s doing that now.

    There is no form of threat at all from the fans,just a general discontent at the way this club has moved backwards.In this letter,it should’ve been addressed that should he not put in full efforts to “Reinvegorate” the club,then he will start seeing empty seats and a fall in revenue.Right now this letter will be meaningless to him.

    Personally,I think this call for Kronke to start showing interest in the club is a hopeless call.You can’t seriously expect to suddenly start becoming interested in football,and show ambition.

    The message should’ve been,it’s time to sell your shares or else you will start seeing a fall in revenue via empty stadiums etc.

    I’m sure people have read the response letter from Josh Kronke to this.

    I think the subject of the letter is purely hypocritical filled with lies with the sole intention to procrastinate a more serious reaction(if we’re capable of it) from the fans.

    He says he’s put in a new “modern structure” in the past 14 months.Except the kronkes have been with our club for more than a decade,holding a majority stake for many years yet showing no intent or ambition not ONCE.

    Then the appoints he’s made are worse than even gazidis.We’ve let go of ramsey,welbeck who could’ve helped us,yet when we really had to find a way to get rid of ozil who’s nicking a living at 350k.This should not be taken lightly,someone has to be accountable that’s a lot of money being paid.
    Our club captain has refused to play,we’re still to extend auba’s contract.There are many things.

    Then he says he bought this club with the sole purpose to “win”.And the ambition of the club is to compete for silverware and the premier league title.Yet a few paragraphs down he says he understand fans are upset because the club has failed to achieve the “target” of not qualifying for the CL.

    Then he says that success for this club is to win trophies and anything else will be considered failure.He also says they want to achieve that by “respeting the core traditiions and values of this club”.That para basically means they have no intention to invest their own money.The club will always work on a self sustainable model and KSE will still remain the only owners not to have put in a single penny of owner financing in the PL.

    It’s impossible that the club wins trophies without any financing from the owners,with the competetion around.Even if they were to Put and spend money,it’s unliekly we’d win because all the other teams are much more capable than us and have already shown intent and ambition.But if they were to put money,we’d atleast be closer to them than drift farther away,and it would increase the probablility of us competing alongside them by a lot.

    So in Summary,I think the statement is bullshit written with no intent to actually show ambition.He’s saying it’s not an overnight process even though he’s been at the club for more than a decade.Basically procrastination and to make the fans pro-active.
    The only good thing about this statement is Josh has atleast replied compared to stan who wouldn’t even have bothered.

    Of course its BS what did anyone expect. Just as Emerys BS about signing top expensive players in his latest press meeting.

    Its the same old thing they spout out thinking it will fans in line again but it wont until actions are taken from them.

    Arsenal is a dead duck no matter what they say.

    Id say embarres them more.

    You’re right actions speak more louder than words.

    But to be honest,we could’ve said more in the statement.How do we know when we’re going to make another one.I think in the fan’s statement towards the kronke’s it’s merely a recap of the Kronke’s reign.For goodness sake,it’s been over a decade.There should’ve been a stern warning to them that if we don’t qualify for next year’s CL(to start with) no matter what,then he’d be seeing empty seats etc.It will be yet another season we fail to qualify for CL next season,and this Josh says our ambition is to win the CL.Nope,we need results.

    We also should’ve politely put to the Kronke’s,to start planning to sell their shares to someone who cares about the club.No we are not asking them to make a loss,whether it’s today or a year later they’d still be making a handsome profit on their original investment.So I think this deal is very fair to both the parties,but fans need to let the kronke’s know about it.
