as soon as possible. —— stan kroenke says he has. the likes as man united and chelsea. stan kroenke's company says they believe moving to private ownership will bring the benefits of a single owner, better able to move quickly in furtherance of the club's future. the arsenal supporters trust is concerned, they say it is a dreadful day for the club with franz forster sell shares. there is particular concern this deal is being financed by a loan but stan kroenke says it will not be serviced against arsenal —— with fans forced to sell shares. many questions remain outstanding. time for a look at the weather. there is a change coming. there is a change coming. there is a change coming. there is a change coming, you stole my first line. change is afoot, a few different changes. this is the last day for quite a while where we will get temperatures in the 30s. by tomorrow those parts of east anglia more likely to see 20. further west, wondering what i am talking about, thatis wondering what i am talking about, that is more clarity, you have

wright pointed out, they do have justification to think kroenke has his part on making arsenal a success on the pitch. they called him silent stanst because of his lack of being vocal and saying he will do those things. looking at his other sports franchises, they are owned by kse, kroenke sports and entertainment brand. he has the denver nuggets, the nfl rams, and only the colorado avalanche have managed to win anything since being under his stewardship, that was in 2001 because they had just took over. they had their best season then. arsenal fans have had -- they've been in a state of flux for some time and frustration because of arsene wenger's tenure. they were going sour the last few years of his managerial ship there. at the same time they thought they were getting better this summer with unai emery coming in and taking over, but he has a tough ask on the pitch because he has to take his team to chelsea at the weekend so with this takeover deal still going on at the board level, it will be interesting to see how arsenal can pick up momentum this season. >> thank you very much for that. we'll watch that closely i know thos

whether or not this changes thing for arsenal is up for debate fans have not been too pleased with stan kroenke him silent stan in the past. he sees this more as an investment usmanov wanted to buy out kroenke and they were at odds with one another if he then just got fed up and thinks he will take his money elsewhere. whether this is russian money also leaving the uk has been speculated roman abromovich has also been worried as well that he won't be able to do what he wants to do at chelsea >> you can't find many happy gunners fans at the moment thank you very much. >>> ahead of the premier league season starting in a few days time, head online to espnsoccernet.cwecnbc.com where adam is looking at clubs hoping to avoid relegation through that foreign investment. >>> california firefighters are battling the biggest blazes in the state's history. the series of fires just north of sacramento now covers more than 280,000 acres crews are struggling to stop the flames from expanding into nearby communities strong gusts of wind continue to fan the flames and temperatures today could top 110 degrees.
