My thinking is that the board made a mistake of going for kroenke instead of the Russians
Alisher Usmanov couls still buy the club as he still owns 29.25% of the shares, especially if Stan Kroenke (owner of 66.76% of the shares) deisdes that Arsenal is a bad invesment and sells up!

I think he should have sold their players from the glory days for better prices, take Thierry Henry for example!

Also you have to take account of the rise of Chelsea and the dominance of Man U!

I wouldn't support it either, I would rather drop out of the top four teams but have a stable club rather than do a Leeds or Rangers trying to chase the dream.
They are possibly the most profitable club in the UK, along with Man U!
