Thread: The State of Arsenal

Full disclosure. I don’t like KSE. I would happily see #KroenkeOut

But, KSE was never selling. Arsenal is an investment vehicle that even after the failed Super League will continue to grow in value yearly. (1/9)

Now, while there is plenty to dislike about the ownership, they are not the reason for our failures in the recent past. Over the past 5-7 years we have seen Arsenal with a net spend on par or above other teams that are finishing above us in the table. (2/9)

the sense of competitive relevance in the Premier League that we all miss.

Like everyone else, I just want to see brought back the joy we all share in following Arsenal and supporting this great club. But it demands accountability. If not from within the club, then from fans.

As usual, I will hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and look forward to watching every time we step on the pitch. Here’s hoping to Europa League success and some positive momentum for the Arsenal #COYG #Arsenal #TrustTheProcess #IMPROVEtheProcess (9/9)
