Arsenal fans are gushing out without reserves on Twitter at American owner of the club Stan Kroenke.
According to The Guardian, The 67-year-old American business entrepreneur received a payment around £3m from the club for his company, KSE LLC, for ‘strategic and advisory services.’
This has sparked a huge reaction from Gunners fans after the £3m was traced to the amount the club raised from a 3% rise on season-ticket prices for this season.
Aware that he has never taken dividends from his other sports franchises, which include NBA basketball’s Denver Nuggets and the NFL side St Louis Rams, the fans took to Twitter to attack Kroenke and severally lashed him with harsh words.
Read some of the tweets below:
Kroenke is taking money out of the club having not invested a
cent in the playing side since taking over? Absolute fucking
bellend.

Kroenke took 3m…and he’s a billionaire? Either there’s a
misunderstanding or he’s a colossal twat.

Kroenke has just seen an opportunity to cash in on the great work
Dein & Fiszman did. He’s a leech, and is already sucking money
out of AFC.

Kroenke took £3m out of the club for his own personal company.
Could’ve used those money to sign a center back you greedy cunt.

Stan Kroenke takes £3m out of Arsenal. How could that be better

defender
