Stan Kroenke is on the verge of something very special this summer as he prepares for potential success across his Sports and Entertainment empire. The American has not only managed to turn around things on the field (or court) but also off it, as well.
Whereas over 12 months ago his standing with Arsenal fans was at an all-time low, but some of the decisions made by him and new club co-chair and son, Josh, have helped to transform their image. The Gunners are no longer seen as a stale setting but a bright, vibrant location with a squad on the rise.
Lead by Josh and his ever-increasing impact on business in north London, as well as Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu Gaspar, Arsenal have emerged as one of modern football's growing forces. Many that have monitored Kroenke's American endeavours may have seen it coming.
