Mark Strong has advice for Arsenal owners

Shazam actor was recently on The Rich Eisen Show. Rich Eisen asked Mark Strong about the super-wealthy Arsenal owners whose NFL team won the Super Bowl two years ago and has a team that can win NBA this season. The Shazam! Fury of the Gods actor replied with advice for Stan Kroenke.

Strong said“Having won the Super Bowl and team doing well, he’s gonna pay a little attention to our little soccer team back in UK that needs a bit of help just to get over the line.” It was a friendly dig at the owner urging them to support the manager of Arsenal to get the team over the line.

Kroenke owns various sports franchises that play in different leagues. The most notable among them are LA Rams (NFL), Arsenal (Premier League), Arsenal Women’s FC (WSL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Rapids (MLS), and Colorado Avalanche (NHL). 

Kroenke has backed Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta since his appointment. Arteta had a disappointing start to his managerial career at Arsenal. But Kroenke had faith in him. His faith is paying off, with Arsenal closing on the Premier League title after 19 years.
