The owner of Arsenal football club Stan Kroenke has come out to say that he
has never considered selling his majority share of the club and insists Arsene Wenger is still the right man to
lead the Gunners.
Kroenke has faced growing calls to outline his vision for the club after awarding Wenger a controversial new two-year contract during the summer break despite Arsenal's fifth-place finish in the Premier League last season.

Arsenal Supporters' Trust (AST)
recently wrote to Kroenke to express their concerns over the direction of the
club, ahead of Thursday's annual general meeting at the Emirates. The Trust also urged shareholders to vote against the re-appointment
of Kroenke's son, Josh, on to the club's board. However, despite the unrest, Kroenke insists he will never sell Arsenal
and believes the club is capable of winning both the Premier League and
Champions League under Wenger.
He said “Just go look
at our history, we get into these things to try to grow them. You don't see us
selling things. You just don't. We are committed long-term. I'm at a stage in
life where… what good does that do? I love Arsenal, love being involved with
Arsenal. There no finer feeling than going out and winning like we did with the
FA Cup. That whole afternoon and evening, we talked about what happened on the
pitch. Wonderful. The feeling is contagious and it makes you want to keep doing
it. There's so many easier ways to make money, I can assure you. Much, much
easier.”
