There's also talk of the great Jack Kelsey coming back to run the club shop again. The fact that he died in 1998 is not going to put them off.

Patience my boy ,
Golden geese don't come around too often and it won't be a decision taken in 5 minutes.
Question , did he buy in for a football club or a bit of prime real estate in London.? or Was it as originally pitched to get the T.V rights ?. Was it bought with the long term goal of the presently defunked Super League or as a travelling circus league playing in various countries throughout the far east ?

Re: Potential Takeover
A first bid was always going to be turned down, same as buying a house, you hope it gets accepted but you have a second and third amount you’ll be prepared to go to before you walk away.mcdowell42 wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 2:56 pm.@SkyKaveh: "The reason Ek released this statement is to set the record straight.

Kronke is right, that he doesn’t need the money, but a very healthy profit on top of what he paid for the shares, with the club making a heavy loss, and probably next season too, with no Europe and COVID still limiting attendances may well give him a nudge to take the money.
Kronke should never have been allowed to purchase the club in the first place
Re: Potential Takeover
Seems s bit weird to me that Ek has basically said ‘That’s our offer, it’s still on the table’? If you’re serious about buying, you make a token bid first off, which if accepted is a right result and you feel you have a bit of a bargain. If refused, you maybe say you’ll take some time to consider what to do, take in what’s been said etc, then come back with a bid that may be accepted and if that’s refused you come back with an over the top, can’t be refused bid......if you’re very serious about buying that is.
Sounds to me like Ek has made a bid that he knew would never be accepted, but has got a shitload of personal exposure along with covering up a big rise in Spotify monthly costs.

Re: Potential Takeover
It looks like this is going to fizzle out in the way that the attempts to get Usmanov/Red and White Holdings to topple Kronke did a decade ago.
Re: Potential Takeover
Dont think people grasp what you are up against with Kronke...he aint going nowhere....he means it when he says he dont need money
He will totally disregard and probably enjoy any fan unrest
Would not put it past him to try and relocate the club

Re: Potential Takeover
Why does he want to keep a loss-making asset which by default is therefore depreciating in value?
To those who feel that Arsenal is worth keeping I think you need to understand how a company is valued. With all the tv money, sponsorship etc we are making huge losses. That depresses the value. You can only sustain huge losses for so long without the value declining.

No reason to doubt he is telling the truth
Big mistake was letting him in the club in the first place...

Re: Potential Takeover
Arsenal isn't depreciating in value, in fact since Kroenke bought Usmanov out a few years back the value of the club has increased from £1.8 to £2 bn (the value of Eks bid). And that's with us no longer being in the CL/finishing in the top 4.Redarmy wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 6:20 amBecause he is Stan Kronke...he has stated previously hes building a sporting portfolio for his family and dont need the moneyBobbyPires7 wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 6:57 pmWhy does he want to keep a loss-making asset which by default is therefore depreciating in value?

The club with the exception of the COVID pandemic has never made a huge loss. Kroenke injected money into the club last summer, but none of this has been used on the playing side.
I would say the value of the club is depressed because of Kroenke's strategy, but don't think under normal circumstances we are hemorrhaging money because we aren't.
My understanding is Kroenke has doubled his money in paper terms. That's the original purchase price of his shares versus the market cap. Nice work if you don't invest a penny of your own money into player recruitment.

And just to show how little Kroenke has invested in Arsenal, this great Twitter account sums things up. The owner has put in less than the likes of WBA and Sheff Utd owners.
