The victory may have come too late for Arsenal (76 points), though, as they only lead Manchester City by two points, but the two-time defending champions now have two games in hand on the Gunners. Arsenal could also do with a clean slate after years of unrest about first Kroenke and then Arsene Wenger.īut it still seems unlikely that Kroenke will sell Arsenal, no matter how ugly fan protests become.įollow snapped their four-game winless skid and went back atop the Premier League table with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. It feels like it will take a lot for Ek to take charge of Arsenal as the likes of Farhad Moshiri and Alisher Usmanov tried, and failed, for many years to do so before they gave up.Ĭompared to Moshiri and Usmanov, Ek is a total newcomer and that could work in his favor.

Kroenke may see this as the perfect time to get out, as the finances of Arsenal have been hit hard by four-straight seasons without the Champions League and of course the coronavirus pandemic. The man who owns the LA Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Rapids has been the majority shareholder at Arsenal since 2011 and over the last decade the fans have not been happy with the way the clubs has been run and there have been multiple protests across many seasons. Kroenke has shown no sign of ever wanting to sell Arsenal and in recent years has fought hard to increase his ownership stake in the club.

This is perhaps the biggest issue for Ek and the Arsenal legends.
