Josh Kroenke has admitted that he has found it "difficult" to relate to the passion that Arsenal fans have for the club.
The son of Gunners owner Stan, has been a director at the club for almost a decade, with the Kroenkes coming under scrutiny for focusing on their other sports businesses.
Kroenke's LA Rams lifted the Super Bowl on Sunday after beating the Cincinnati Bengals, but Arsenal have not won a league title since the 2003/04 unbeaten season.
The failed Super League plans from 2021 were an example of supporters coming together and showing their collective passion, something that surprised the Arsenal ownership.
"I think that one of the messages that I said to our supporters and I do listen to our supporters over there. I listen to our fans here [in America] with our teams but the level of passion that is involved in European football, and support that goes into these clubs – I don’t wanna say it’s deeper than anything we have over here – but it’s way deeper than anything we have over here," Kroenke told Road Trippin’.
"It’s hard to truly relate as an American or a foreigner heading into the UK the passion that really goes on from the people that support these clubs."
Kroenke also admitted that the Super League decision was the wrong one and that he has learnt from the mistake.
"I think that whether or not they fully understood the concept of what we’re trying to do, it didn’t matter.
"They didn’t want the change. That was the only thing that mattered that we were going to make changes to the system they love. I understood that.
"I think part of being a good leader is making unpopular decisions on behalf of the group and part of being a good leader is listening to the group and understanding when to back off.
"That’s what we did. Once we had a full understanding of what was going on – very quickly – the right thing to do as a leader was to get out of the process."
