Arsenal's majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has been nominated for a 'Sports Executive of the Year' award.

This nomination comes despite the fact Kroenke has faced huge criticism on both sides of the Atlantic over the past 18 months.

Arsenal fans lament Kroenke's apparent lack of interest and motivation when it comes to helping the club win trophies.

In the US, meanwhile, the 68-year-old is distinctly unpopular for moving his NFL franchise from St Louis to Los Angeles.

For American publication the Sports Business Journal, however, these are achievements worth celebrating.

Kroenke's other sports teams include: the Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Crush (AFL), Colorado Mammoth (NLL) and the Colorado Rapids (MLS).

The full shortlist for the award is as follows: Stan Kroenke, Brian France, Joe Lacob, Rob Manfred and Mark Parker.
