Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has moved to reassure doubting fans by insisting that his "goal is to win trophies" at the north London club.<br />The American released a statement following a stormy shareholders' meeting in which the club's ambition came under question from supporters.<br />"The reason I am involved in sport is to win," he said. "It's what it's all about. Everything else is a footnote."<br /><br />"I can assure you no-one is more ambitious than me."<br />Thursday's meeting came in the wake of a Premier League defeat by Norwich and a 2-0 home loss to Schalke 04 in the Champions League.<br />The club's inconsistent start to the season follows the sale of striker Robin van Persie, last season's PFA Player of the Year, to rivals Manchester United.<br />At Wednesday's Annual General Meeting, manager Arsene Wenger said Champions League qualification was more important to the club than winning the FA Cup or League Cup.<br />And chief executive Ivan Gazidis flagged up Arsenal's financial health and readiness for Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules.<br />But Kroenke added: "Arsenal is a tremendous club with a track record of consistent performance at the top level.<br />"That is very rare, but we have managed it. I know that will continue as we move forwards. We have an exciting future and our goal is to win trophies."
