It's the same old stuffThe presenter (Robbie) is wrong. His assertion that "you can't hide behind the owner, Wenger chose the team" shows willful ignorance or worse lack of understanding. Wenger is such a known quantity that you can easily assume what he will have done in a given match. So to blame it at Wenger is just short sighted. Kroenke is the man and his man is Wenger. They are one and the same in many ways so should be equally held accountable. If Wenger was there to make a decision then that is on Kroenke.
Wenger was on 7+mil a year 3 or so seasons ago i think so i doubt he is paid in peanuts. They have a lovely arrangement between the two and both get nice and rich from it. If Wenger really did go to bed kissing the Arsenal badge he would have made some form of protest about Kroenke's business model a long time ago knowing it is a huge limiting factor in recruiting a solid squad.
Arsenal fans are pissed off but not as much as they should be. They were essentially asked to accept stepping down from the very top in order to build a solid future at the top further down the line. They all bought that but the austerity has continued with Kroenke not giving a shit. I think all content arsenal fans that are old enough to remember the lat 90's and early 00's are foolish.
To get from where Arsenal are now to properly challenging it'd cost hundreds of millions and the owner/shareholders aren't interested so long as its a cash machine
What Arsenal fans need to do is stop going
