In April 2021, Stan Kroenke's reputation amongst the Arsenal fanbase was at its lowest. The Gunners announced they had signed up to be part of a proposed new European Super League, dismantling the traditional domestic football pyramid.
The decision was one that was not taken lightly from lovers of the beautiful game and Kroenke reversed the decision 48 hours later following severe backlash from fans, pundits, UEFA, FIFA, the government and players. Chelsea and Manchester City followed suit and the proposed plan fell through.
"As a result of listening to you and the wider football community over recent days we are withdrawing from the proposed Super League," a post read on Twitter. "We made a mistake, and we apologise for it."
