While you're more than entitled to hold on to your senseless hate boner for the Glazers, can you try doing it without making shit up? The pre-Glazer board were a total nightmare at times. Take this little gem from 2003 for example:
Stan Kroenke is set to take full ownership of Arsenal in a deal valuing it at £1.8bn
- Thread starter United_We_Stand
- Start date
Yeah my bad sorry, thought it was one of the 20 transfer threads currently active
Seems like people actually think thats the case. Kroenke is technically a regular investor into Arsenal, but he does so through using Arsenal's revenue. I'm sure these people bigging up United's ownership would say the same about Kroenke if they were Arsenal fans right?Personally I'd say Kroenke is a middle of the road owner. He doesn't hog an extreme amount of the revenue for the sake of himself, and he doesn't spend into relegation like Villa. But he's not a sugar daddy either. Could be worse, could be better.
The only positive about this is that Kreonke kind of looks like Ron Pearlman, and I like Ron.
I bet he doesn't even have a manly voice like Ron though.

Man Utd's ownership under the Glazers, Fergie brought in 5 titles in 8 seasons, (narrowly missing out on 2 more titles - 1 by GD and 1 on the last day of the season and 3 CL Finals inc 1 win.
If Arsenal don't win the league or CL in the next few years how long will it be till the fans turn on Mr Kroenke?

Not sure if you've read through the thread at all... We have already turned on him. No one wants the parasite around.
You just need to have a quick read through the forum to realise that's absolute nonsense.
Do you have an issue with people buying properties with mortgages?
I think one of the main differences is that when you take out a mortgage, the onus is on you to work your arse off for about 30 years to pay it off. If you screw up and can’t repay it, the bank takes the house and you’re declared bankrupt or insolvent or whatever, but it’ll affect your every financial move for years afterwards if you do feck it up.
As I understand it, Stan is taking out a loan and placing the onus to repay it on the club, or rather the fans who turn up every week, and if it all goes tits up, he still walks away without any personal liability.
It’s all on the club to repay the debt, but he’ll still get his “pay” so to speak.
It’s an amazing set up if you know how to manipulate it.
And we think we have it bad.
Between this and Spurs new stadium debt and Chelsea's never ending troubles, and all 3 clubs having shit transfer windows to boot, we have it fairly easy in comparison.

Finishing top 4 is ok for those teams. We are supposed to be competing for the title. Our squad is ok to fight for top 4, that’s not what we need though.
Plenty of people buy properties with mortgages and use the rent received to pay off the mortgage.
Rent from property is no different from club incomes from the club. Just different scale.
yeah landlords are bad too cal
How did you feel when we sold him?
Take the Glazers talk out of this. I'll start infracting people if there's any more talk of Glazers.
At least i hope he leaves the ownership to his son who seems to be more interested.
Correct about the scale, but again, the Landlord is tied to the property themselves, unless they set it up in a company format and they’re just “an employee” per say, then if things go tits up they’re not personally liable.
Landlords are in the ha’penny place compared to what these guys are doing.
