Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has resisted taking his team on profitable and brand-enhancing preseason tours of the USA and the Far East that are popular among major clubs. Butreports from the club’s annual shareholder meeting indicate that Wenger is acquiescing.
Arsenal’s largest single shareholder is American Stan Kroenke, owner of the ColoradoRapids. It’s chief executive is former MLS vice president Ivan Gazidis.
