But what more is an owner supposed to do besides hire great people and provide great facilities, and pay for all the players requested by management? Does he have to go in front of cameras and be chummy? What more does he have to handle? Does he have to take a job in the gift shop?
I just don't see what you want from the guy besides funding one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Moreover; who creates the uneven playing field?
What is keeping the Khan artist from turning Fulham into the next Man City? Let's look at Khan closer. He's a guy who was gonna buy the Rams. He bought Fulham when they were in the EPL. He promptly removed the MJ statue and put in his guys and doing all the things owners do. Fulham is promptly relegated and now are a sellers club with guys like Sessignon out the door this summer. Now who gets thhe credit there? Martin Jol?
Khan deserves all the credit for where Fulham are now just as Kroenke deserves all the credit for Arsenal's consistency and continued winning ways
I wont disagree with you in the creation of the uneven playing field. The owners who throw the most money into their teams tend to decide their tier of success in leagues with no salary cap. That being said, you can bolster your team with capital but cripple them with management decisions. Kronke is extremely loyal to who he puts in power and looks for any opportunity to retain them, much like the premature extension of Fisher.
Only the future will tell if extending Wenger another 2 years was the right move.
