Furious Arsenal fans gather outside the Emirates Stadium to call for Stan Kroenke to sell up

Arsenal fans have gathered in their masses to protest the club’s role in the European Super League, with anger among supporters showing no sign of subsiding following a disastrous week for England’s Big Six. 

Headlines have been dominated by the failed attempt to form a breakaway league, in which twelve European heavyweights joined the JP Mogan-backed scheme that threatened to debilitate the football landscape.

The competition received widespread backlash from fans, pundits and even UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson with Arsenal among the six English participants to announce plans to withdraw from the ESL on Tuesday night.

However, fans remain unhappy following the episode, with Gunners supporters telling Josh Kroenke, owner of son Stan, to leave the club during a hostile fans forum on Thursday evening.

And Arsenal supporters have gathered outside the Emirates Stadium to voice their grumblings over the club’s role in the breakaway league, with calls for the unpopular owner to sell up in the aftermath of the farce. 

The Gunners are understood to have been architects behind the ploy alongside the American owners of Liverpool and Manchester United, as well as Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. 

However, Kroenke Jnr and Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham insisted the club was one of the last to join as the pair faced the music in a gruelling virtual Q&A with supporters.  

Venkatesham reportedly said: ‘Arsenal were not the authors of this proposal, despite what many think. On this project, the train was leaving the station. We made the decision to join. We made a bad decision, a terrible one. 

‘Now we need to make good ones. I have been in touch with all the other 14 Premier League clubs to apologise for our part in this. We are working hard to rebuild our reputation.’ 

Kroenke Jnr also issued a grovelling apology during the stormy session and despite being asked to sell the club by prominent Arsenal Supporters Trust member Akhil Vyas, the American said that Kroenke Sports and Entertainment have no intention of leaving. 

‘I echo Vinai’s comments,’ Kroenke Jnr said. ‘Leadership is about recognising when you are wrong, correcting and apologising. We asked ourselves, what is worse: a Super League or a Super League without Arsenal? We also asked ourselves, what do the fans want?

‘The global fan wants Arsenal against Barcelona as often as possible. English fans want to see more big matches, but you also still want your cold nights in Stoke. Now we need to build a bridge and we will.’
