Are you suggesting they're Walmart owned? Why aren't Arsenal fans boycotting the club due to the treatment of staff by Walmart and the shocking way they've increased their prices of own brand biscuits?

Or what about the 18 people America executed last year, never mind the treatment of LGBTQ people in Florida.

Or does that only apply if your owners are rich and a bit off-white?

I was responding to the comments by the Gooner that Silent Stan's wife owned a significant part of Walmart and somehow that was good for Arsenal - because as you suggest certain types of wealth are okay - and others are clearly not.

Its not all our budget. Stan Kroenke owns us but Josh Kroenke his son has taken over as the de-facto owner. Stan is married to Anne Walton, with Anne being Josh's mother. Anne Walton is member of the Walton family who own 51% of Walmart stock which is currently worth over 240 billion USD. We are de-facto owned by the richest family in the world (private enterprise). Type 'richest family in the world' into google and you get the Waltons looking back at you

Ever since the Kroenke's completed a full take over we have spent solid sums. No one initially noticed because we spent 72m on Pepe, gave Amumayang 350k a week and Ozil 300k a week. But in recent years we have been getting it right with our spending, and also paying unwanted players to leave, while fending off real interest in Saliba, Saka and Martinelli are giving each a 200,300,200k a week wage respectively - you watch, Odegaard will sign next. Now were offering 100m for Rice.

Most people are stuck in 2012 with regards to our ownership. They still think being owned by the Kroenke's is a bad thing, when in actual fact they were bad owners when they owned only a portion of the club. However as mentioned, ever since the full takeover we have been ramping up the spending.

Rice makes sense if we continue with the 3-2-4-1 formation. Stones is amazing but he's a little injury prone so Rice makes sense to play in that double pivot with Rodri.

How though? The 2nd pivot is a centre back or full back. So unless you’re putting him or Rodri at centre back then that isn’t happening as Pep won’t sacrifice an 8 for a double pivot.

Funny as a Google search actually brings up Newcastles owners family at £1.1T as the richest. Then you have our owner whose personal wealth is £17+B and his family at £1T! So no, they are not the richest family, they are not even close.
As for Private Enterprise as you put it… I think you’ll find Walmart are a public company as they are on the stock exchange. They’ve not been privately owned for a while (Since August 1972 to be precise).
I had a bet with a Utd fan (funnily enough he’s gone dark), he said Utd would win the league, at the point they all got giddy and were talking about a quad lol. I responded that not only would they not win it but would finish a minimum of 10pt’s behind city… he laughed, as did I at the seasons conclusion. I’m saying this as I’m that confident you won’t win the league next year that I’m happy to say on record you won’t finish top 2! I don’t care how much you spend, you had your shot this season and bottled it in epic proportions. Chelsea, Liverpool, Utd and Newcastle have all decided to strengthen and will all push, as will we. I’ve no idea who’ll c9me out top but I’m confident it’ll not be Utd or Arsenal.

The Walton family are the richest family in the world that are not royalty.

Surely stones a CH stepping into CM is the same as rice a CM stepping into CH if needed?
