To be honest i hope fans would put pressure on sponsors to have the brands receive negative market from sponsors clubs so it would force owners to sell. Unless they like lossing money
I like this approach. I do wonder what would happen if fans started refusing to buy things from our sponsors. Time for us to all collectively cancel our vacations to Rwanda!
This actually made me laugh out loud XD
Assuming that Kroenke would actually sell the club to Ek, which he won't, Ek would have to sell nearly all his shares in spotify to be able to afford it. It's simply not going to happen.
It feels very strange to be sad after PSG lose a game. Even more so to be invested in them winning their next one.

Not really, he can always get other institutions to co-fund his purchase price ... i highly doubt Ek would all-in into Arsenal even if he could. He would definitely put some of his own money in, but then it'd get co-funded by says a private equity firm who will be willing to invest into Arsenal. At the end ot the day it's a business and people will open their wallets if they know they can get something out of it.
Earlier on Wednesday, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said the Kroenkes "are going to do everything" to achieve success at the club.
"If [the fans] get the opportunity to know them, I think most of them would be surprised," said Arteta.
"And if that is the case, I think that will benefit everybody at the football club.
"It will benefit the fans and bring a lot of clarity. If there is a way to do that and it is going to be helpful, let's do it, if that is what is necessary."

what do you expect him to say? "kroenke is a piece of shit and daniel ek would be a much better boss for me"?
There is a lot of space between that and what he said. e.g. just say nothing
i dont know what the initial question was but saying nothing is almost as bad. if the media is fishing for a reaction from arteta that might imply he is rooting for a change of ownership, refusing to comment on the speculation is at the very least a refusal to openly back your current owners. his response was appropriate for anyone who is working within the club and still reports to kroenke
Half of me says that a huge club like Barca going through a financial implosion and even a possible bankruptcy and relegations etc. may be exactly what's needed for football system to reform itself.
The other half says that this would just work to validate the 'billionaire owners playing Football Manager in real-life' ownership model, where a clubs with a rich owner can spend whatever without fear of bankruptcy because owners can just inject equity when necessary. Especially with FFP having been proven so impotent, it would just galvanize the world more into mediocre clubs with possibly diffused (or just less rich) ownerships, and super(rich) clubs with billionaire backing who don't have to worry about financial feasibility and viability.
Holy crap, saw the replay of Timo Werners chance against Real today....I feel so sad for him but at the same time, it is funny as hell that he simply cant score :D
Arteta's hands were tied. I'll defend him on that. Not going to defend his performance on the pitch, though. I am 99.99% certain nothing changes from Kroenke
Interesting formation we have going. Ødegaard AM with Saka and ESR on the wings could definitely see a lot of chances. Not so sure of Pepe's striking abilities though, compared to Auba who's on the bench
There were literally more Villareal players in our box than Arsenal players. There are times where I hate this club, from Kroenke to Arteta to our dumbass players
