DBasia.news – Arsenal owner, Stan Kroenke, received strong protests from a number of Gunners fans after seeing the sluggish appearance of the team in the transfer market this summer.
As is known, Arsenal have just recruited one young striker from Brazil – whose name has not been popular in Europe, Gabriel Martinelli. That is unique as Arsenal should fix some areas after last season failing to enter the top four of the Premier League.
Arsenal played for three consecutive seasons in the Europa League. Which frustrated fans and made them send a statement to Stan Kroenke.
“As Arsenal fans we have watched the team frustratedly as their performance has declined over the past decade. When Stan Kroenke began to purchase Arsenal (2007) the club competed for the first time in the Champions League final (2006),” wrote a statement from the fans, as quoted by the Goal .
“12 years later, Arsenal will play in the Europa League for three consecutive times. Outside the playing field, fans have never felt more alienated, less heard or judged. This, sadly, was described when Stan Kroenke forcibly bought the shareholders of the supporters without appreciation to them for their role at the club. “
“It felt like Arsenal were at a crossroads. Things had to change. Our intention was to give this statement to see the real and useful action by Stan Kroenke to fix the club.”
Fans hope there will be real action from management to seriously fix Unai Emery’s squad ahead of the 2019/20 season.
“As Arsenal supporters, we really care. We want to hear from our club and see the actions that represent what they are doing. The first opportunity came when the Director and Head of Football spoke to invited supporters on July 25. We forced them to talk about the issues – the issue is there. We will witness it with great interest, “said the statement.
