As the new NFL season is about to begin, Stan Kroenke’s focus is shifting from transfers in north London to the action there.
While watching his NFL team, the LA Rams, compete when the league resumes this weekend, Stan Kroenke hopes to continue his streak of major victories in American sports.
The Rams, who saw a dramatic decline from their historic title-winning 2021 campaign to last season, are hoping to make up for a disastrous campaign in which they won just five of their 17 games.
The performance was the worst they had since 2017 and far below what they had hoped for.
There is optimism that the team can produce results and performances that more closely align with the franchise’s goals, even though one of the best coaches in the sport, Sean McVay, is in a transitional period with the team.
Their victory in 2021 marked the beginning of an incredible run for Kroenke.
After winning the Super Bowl, Kroenke, who acquired a majority stake in Arsenal in 2011, also went on to watch his NBA team, the Denver Nuggets, win the title.
He also won the NHL with the Colorado Avalanche and the NLL with the Colorado Mammoth.
The only team still standing in Kroenke’s Sports and Entertainment (KSE) empire to win a major championship is Arsenal, who finished as runners-up in the Premier League last season.
With Josh Kroenke, the father of Kroenke, playing a significant part in the rebuild under Mikel Arteta, a well-liked Spanish manager, the Gunners have significantly improved over the past 24 months.
In North London, Josh Kroenke recently received an increase in daily accountability, changing his position at the club to that of new co-chair alongside his father.
Along with Arteta and sporting director Edu Gaspar, Josh has significantly contributed to reviving the sense of community at the club. It arrived at a crucial time for Stan Kroenke because the European Super League debacle and years of mediocrity had severely damaged his standing within the club.
Kroenke’s investment in the club’s transfers has increased the pressure on Arteta to end the 20-year wait for a championship as the Gunners have started their attempts to follow up an unexpected title charge with yet another push to be champions strongly.
Declan Rice and Kai Havertz were two new additions to Arsenal’s squad that cost over £200 million ($249 million).
These players gave the team more depth and quality, but Kroenke will soon return his focus to his priorities in the United States.
The real estate tycoon has received a lot of flak in recent years for his lack of involvement in the club on a direct level, but if he can maintain the club’s success in spite of this, supporters who pack the stands when things are good won’t be too concerned. Kroenke will soon be prepared for his team to return to the cutting-edge SoFi Stadium after fulfilling the demands of the eager Rams supporters.
His presence at Arsenal is currently unwarranted, and it’s also the international break.
On September 17, Arsenal will play at Goodison Park against Everton.
Prior to that, the Rams begin their season on the road against the Seattle Seahawks before hosting the San Francisco 49ers hours after the conclusion of Arsenal’s game in Merseyside.
