You don’t think Woodward’s propensity for throwing away full seasons before acting to rectify his own mistakes is worth criticising? Picking the wrong guy happens. Failing to correct your mistakes, over and over, is negligence.
They may be able to see it but I doubt that they really care but you’re right they’re not idiots and I can’t help but feel that the lack of serious investment in the squad and the seemingly reluctance to get rid of Mourhino and throw a few quid to hire a DOF, which they’ve been crapping on about for months, is because of what it will cost them to do so, they may well be ready to sell their sick puppy to the highest bidder.
If the team is winning then people forget about the owners etc. I remember one Arsenal fan on AFTV constantly banging on about how nothing will change until Kroenke and the rest of the board feck off etc. Think he goes by the name of Bully. It seems he's more active on the Caf nowadays.
Exactly! People banged on about how Arsenal will fall into a great depression once Wenger leaves. Nope they just got a decent coach that works hard + concentrates on football, not being a celebrity. Surprise surprise they're looking good again.
They still don't spend as much as they need to to compete for the honours they were competing for before Kroenke came.
That's true, but the fan in question was a constant.
There players are showing a intensity I hadn't seen in many years. Under Wenger I believe they would've capitulated against Spurs.
Could not agree more re: Arsenal. They battered Spurs at the Emirates last year, more convincingly than this year. It was the same when they drew with Liverpool the other week at home. Wenger drew 3-3 with them last year from 2-0 down. And this was Wenger's worst season ever remember. They're going to finish 1 at best 2 places above last years disaster and one of the main reasons is because we've imploded.
Exactly. Shows you how much the players dictate there. It's the sign of a poor and weak structure.
I doubt a Wenger team could've come from a goal down against a top 6 side. There was a reason they were referred to as being bottlers under him. Xhaka was playing poorly under him too along with a lot of other players. Emery seems to be getting much more out of the players in comparison.
£28.4m net per year under Kroenke. The £60m net last year really isn't particularly substantial in today's market either. The ownership qualms are justified.
He took the club over in 2011.
No, because your post was
So together we can confirm that hey presto Kroenke has ruined the club, he only cares about top four and they’ll never compete with the other big clubs with him in charge etc etc etc. but they do now have a temporary sticky plaster to cover their deep rooted problems for a season or so. All their problems solved!
