I’m an Arsenal fan. For a few years they absolutely refused to spend money on the team. The last couple years his son Josh has been in charge and they’ve been more willing to spend and have seen the results that come with it, including winning the premier league this year for the first time in over 20 years.

Kroenke is married to Ann Walton, a Walmart heiress. He made his own fortune through real estate which mostly is linked to the development of new Walmart stores. People on here will call him shitty just because of how wealthy he is but I’m not aware of anything that makes him shittier than any other billionaire
