Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke was once the vilified poster boy of Arsenal protests and outrage. A lack of spending, trophies and overall communication from the ownership left the supporter base in a fury.
However, things have been and continue to change and the start of the 2023 summer transfer window demonstrates this further. Although Stan sees his son and co-chairman Josh Kroenke lead the way for Kroenke Sports Entertainment at the club, an overall improvement in openness with fans has certainly materialised.
Since the full takeover in 2018, spending in the window has soared and now the Gunners have come off the back of returning to title challenger status having come so very close to a first league title since 2004. The start of the window has seen significant movement on the part of the club.
