Arsenal Director Josh Kroenke on Getting Arsenal Back to Where They Belong | All or Nothing Arsenal

[@adwitiyashukla3530]

i remember in the documentary when josh said to mikel after 3 defeats that we have to stick together. i think that has been the biggest moment for our revival

[@snaggiz]

To be fair to him, he's stuck by Edu and Arteta through thick and thin. He believed in the plan, he has been patient and offered funding. Not a huge of fan of his father, but Josh seems to be quite hands on. I like how he's getting involved, seems to want to understand what's going on around the team and learn to be a better owner.

[@Account.for.Comment]

I' m not a fan of these billionaires but he hired Edu for long-term, Vinai for operation and Arteta for football management instead of acting like his father in pushing everything on Wenger. I' ve never expect custodian-type or sugar daddy behaviors, but our recent revival came from those successful hires and that is praise-worthy.

@@shamsham1983 Hate Billioniares. Like who he hired.

[@diesel_dogg]

That was Arsène’s problem and is well documented- he refused outright to work with technical directors and loosen his stranglehold of all footballing affairs at the club. He’s a great man but he had become overly emotional about his ties to the club where he somehow wanted to prove to himself that he could win it all without any help like it’s still 2004. He had strayed too far from the direction in which the game was going

[@Account.for.Comment]

​@@diesel_dogg I think a director of football would be detrimental to the club at the time Wenger was managing. There is a statement that I agreed with that said along the line that "the one who bring in players is more essential to the success than the head coach". If Arteta could not get the players he wanted, with all the transfer fee we are willing to spend, we would not be able to come back to challenging titles. It is Edu job to ensure that recruitment is successful, and to ensure that if Arteta left or fired for a string of bad results, the players would be good for the next coach (unlike what happened with ManU). When Dein was in, Wenger identified the players, and Dein just bring them in. Then, the board/owners/bank took more active role (reason why Ashley Cole left) and after Dein gone, Wenger could not get all the player he wanted but he took all responsibility for success and failure. Thus, there is no confusion of accountability, regardless of who at fault. A dof would cause more confusion and conflicts within the club. Wenger allowed more board control over player scouting after Leichester won the title, and our league position went lower. It took five years before we came back to the top 4, even with world-class coaches and more transfer.

[@aes1373]

If we eventually win the EPL, the players profile and stock will definitely go up and the best teams across Europe will start eyeing our players especially the oil well money bags.

I am massively confused by Josh Kronke’s comment about only taking ownership in 2018? They have been around since 2008 and did nothing. The only reason they have got more involved and started spending money is because there was a genuine risk they could have been forced out of the club by the fans. The document did wonders for the fans relationship with the club. It improved my opinion of Arteta considerably. As a club we are now definitely moving in the right direction. However I still dislike the Kronke’s. To them we are still a business. After the super league it’s clear they want to win back fans trust, and they’ve realised the only way they will do it is through success on the pitch. But we will only ever be a business project to them. The history of Arsenal means nothing to them. You have got to give them some credit for finally starting to address some of the things they have got so wrong, but to not even take ownership of the time before 2018 is just wrong.

[@ottotanner123]

They never had majority ownership until 2018

[@neoreign]

MAJORITY ownership.

[@Adodereader1]

Think of it this way. If you owned 50% of a company but wanted to buy the other half why would you invest money in a company when you know that money will make the club more valuable. All you are doing is increasing the share prices that you yourself have to pay. Yes it's not the fairytale ownership of a club but it shows they are good businessmen. Businessmen who want to make as much money as possible and to do that now they have full ownership they need to take the club back to the top. That's why they are suddenly putting money in because it's worth it now.

[@g33zer]
