According to The Athletic, some members of the Arsenal squad have ‘resentment’ towards Stan Kroenke.

It’s claimed that there is a feeling of ‘lingering resentment’ with owner Kroenke due to decisions made last summer.

Arsenal players took a pay cut last summer to help the club during the global pandemic, but the Gunners sacked a number of staff members.

The squad seemingly don’t feel too great about that, and it’s claimed that there is a ‘lot of tension’ from the players towards Kroenke.

Arsenal players also believe that Mikel Arteta and Vinai Venkatesham have been dragged into the middle of the situation, and seemingly don’t hold anything against them.

Kroenke has come in for huge criticism of late having overseen Arsenal’s attempts to join the European Super League.

Fans desperately want Kroenke to sell up and leave the club, and it’s not just the Super League issue; this has been bubbling away for a while now, and the events of last week are just the tip of the iceberg.

With the players frustrated too, Kroenke is far from popular in North London right now, and selling up may become more and more appealing to the American billionaire.
