After Arsenal pulled out of Super League, Arenal board has been trying to unite the fans as much as possible. They started with an apology statement via their website, personal apology to the staffs along with coaches and players and then the fans forum meeting on Thursday.
Josh Kroenke was there to answer all the questions regarding the club along with chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and technical director Edu in the 30-minute call. However, the communication didn’t calm the fans down as Arsenal supporters are headed towards Emirates today to protest against the owners, Kroenke Sports Entertainment.
Vinai Venketesham started the meeting by addressing that Arsenal were not the author of the proposed league while Josh added that the owners thought ESL with Arsenal will be better than ESL without Arsenal for the long run. And this is why they caught this train. Fan’s representatives asked some furious questions about the future of the club and the intentions of the owners.
Josh was even asked if they were thinking of selling the club and they were even suggested to sell the club as they didn’t know what English football is all about. But Josh told they had no intentions of selling the clubs or stakes rather they have future plans for this club. According to the reports during the staff meeting he said that owners were going to invest a lot more this summer to make sure Arsenal come back stronger.
Then he stopped his words by saying ”From myself, my father and KSE, we apologise for the angst that we caused everyone and the situation that we put ourselves in. I apologise and I’m here to listen to you guys.”
