It really shouldn’t be any surprise that Stan Ktoenke has bought a stake into one of England’s most storied clubs.

In February, Kroenke and the Rapids formed a partnership to exchange business, commercial and marketing information with Arsenal. Now, within two months, Kroenke has purchased a partial amount of their shareholdings.

American businessmen have been making their way into the EPL for quite some time. The latest was Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr. in their takeover of Liverpool.

Perhaps Americans feel that they have missed the boat in regards to the world game. Now they want to change all that.
