Kroenke smack down
The estimable TribalFootball.com is reporting this morning that Kroenke has denied the denial by the Rapids' Jurgen Mainka regarding Kroenke's interest in Arsenal F.C. of the English Premier League.
Kroenke is reported to have said, "Jurgen who? And who are these 'Rapids' you keep referring to? I'm an important billionaire, not some hack MLS owner."
Of course, the same article is essentially repeated in Forbes online magazine. With new rumors and speculation and additional fun information that states, "Kroenke reportedly holds a 9.9 pct stake in Arsenal."
What fun! Our poor little Rapids team is about to buy that little Brit club across the pond! Too-da-loo! Chip-chip. Cheerio! and all that. Maybe we could organize fan get-togethers with our brethren? :-)
