Richard Arnold secretly filmed whilst speaking to supporters

There's protesting against criminal govts and there's hanging around outside some guys house because he's not bought your team a player.
Get a grip man.
And you try reading. The guy was going on about losing the sponsorship for the training kits which happened after the Super League protests.

Now unless Arnold lives at OT, those certainly were not at his house.
 
It won’t help. That’s for sure.

For all he seems to come across as an okay guy, this video worries me. A serious CEO wouldn’t be trading commercially sensitive information in an environment like this. It makes me worry he’s got the same personality flaw that Woodward had, the need to grandstand even when it has the potential to harm you.
He must have seem then with their phones out and knew there was a risk of being recorded. They don't strike me as the 00-kind of secret agents.
 
Fecking arseholes lad shows a bit of decency and engages in conversation with fans and they fecking upload it for clout.
Scum.
Hopefully he doesn't suffer any consequences because of this.

Out of order for sure but scum? You know who the real scum is? The Glazers mate. 500m debt. 1 billion servicing it. Have a bit of perspective here.
 
Apparently Arnold also offered to buy the group a large chicken shish wrap and cheesy chips each after the drinks, which they politely declined.
 
Respect to him for doing that, For the people having a hissy fit saying they aren't going to watch it and it's not right, etc, at least we now have some inside knowledge and workings at a high level, without the fans planning to confront him you would have been none the wiser. BUT he could have been BS them to shut them up!
Agreed

Abramovich, Glazers, Etihad and the Sheiks all have 2 letters in common: The Fecking FA.

Absolute bunch of useless and spineless cowards who let these cnuts ruin football for the rest of us.
 
For example Mbappé knows that he has Perez wrapped around his finger. The love is real.
Yep. But then Perez goes on the madhouse show that is El Chiringuito to say stuff like that so it's not much more structured than what Arnold did.
 
Don't give a shit but filming him is a cheap move. I will the give man a fair go.
 
Right! Arnold comes in, takes off his coat - body odour - takes off his hat, sits down to drink his pint. Sees the tweet. Sees me. Shock! Rescue, rescue, rescue, rescue. Remorse, remorse, guilt, guilt, guilt, whirlwind of self-loathing... and Arnold buys me a drink. Fiendish!
Go on, run! Just like you did at Goose Green, Argie!!!

Filming him is exactly what he should have expected, and what he probably did expect. I don't condone it, but it it doesn't surprise me. Was he really there to have a confidential conversation? He sounded like a wet blanket with no plan to me. Just wanted to placate the fans to avoid a protest at his house (which is fair enough - protesting at someone's house goes too far, for me). I don't have "massive respect" to him for what what he did though. He knew what was happening and he almost certainly knew he was likely to be filmed. He needs to prove himself via his actions.
 
I’m not entirely sure half the stuff Perez said last summer was approved by anyone - it was the ramblings of a mad man :lol:
And he has no shareholder board to report to either

What if he can’t prove himself with actions because fans are protesting and sponsors are pulling out?
 
Just a suggestion - but great timing for this to come out after Pogba shite from yesterday - help to deflect attention?

Id love to think that Arnold and co would deflect some attention and even pass a bit of shade saying two of the leaks have left the club…….would be f’ing great
 
Richard Arnold on Rolling Stones top 200 hip hop album list

"cnuts, how could they pit Cardi B ahead of Illmatic?"

On Stranger Things

"wouldn't mind a go on the milf mum"

On wearing white socks

"do it all the time with me Nike sliders"
Haven't watched Stranger Things since the first season. Is the milf you are referring to Winona Ryder?
 
They both are, they're both harming the club.

I don't think it's right what they did but I wouldn't even put the two in the same league mate.

Secretly filming the new CEO and putting us in a disgraceful debt and position through their own sheer ineptitude is not even remotely similar.
 
Massive respect to Arnold for doing this. Can you imagine Woodward having the stones to do this with fans at his local pub?

Admittedly his hand might have been forced upon hearing of planned protests at his house, but credit to him for coming out and speaking still.

Refreshingly critical of those above him as well.
How was his hand forced. He could just call the police. Or not go to the pub where these idiots were. Honestly if people are low life enough to protest at someone's house you aren't 100pc safe going into this environment.
 
Seriously some of the things I've read in here tonight. Does that mean Pogba and Jesse are the leaks? How could you film him and betrayed his trust?

If you never coped on that them two clowns were leaking, just give up. Arnold played this like a PR exercise and likely knew he was being recorded, all the different angles of recordings and photos. Hardly seemed annoyed, he flipped the situation on the fans to get a message out. People saying the fans are scum and feeling sorry for Arnold, grow up. Yeah they shouldn't have recorded him (can never be justified) but the fans have been treated like dirt, for ages now. He brought the fight away from his home and tried to clear air, start a fresh with fan base. It was a clever move but actions speak louder from the club.

Pogba made Pogba look shite.
 
Hate him or not but he has said the truth. No club has a bottomless pit of cash to keep burning through with no return on investment. We have wasted so much money on utter crap over the last 8 years it is fairly easy to see why any owner would be reluctant to keep opening up the purse.

We can go on and on about how terrible the Glazers are but it doesn't justify the zero return the club has seen on the money that has been spent since 2013.
If one club over the past 15-17 years could have built a new stadium without getting into huge debt. Either saved up the cash or mortgaged & paid off already while still spending £100m-£150m a year it’s Man Utd. So in a way what Arnold is saying is not true, United now would have to sacrifice on transfer budget for several years like Spurs & Arsenal did only because of the debt the Glazers put on us.

On the flip side he also right the glazers have given £900m post SAF and it’s not their fault that money has been wasted. But then as owners after 3-5 years they should have realised it wasn’t working and addressed the people responsible who are above the managers.
 
have to say Arnold comes across really well here.

He’s not making silly promises or disneyland BS, just telling it how it is.

I do feel Woodward was a big part of the problem and now he’s gone hopefully he can get us back on track

With their stated aim being to harm the club through attacking sponsors then, yes, they are as bad as each other.

Now unless Arnold lives at OT, those certainly were not at his house.
The point still remains.
Why so desperate for a row all time?
 
I’m sure some of them do. It’s like this place where you had posters delighted we’d lost a 200m training kit deal and then were moaning about no January signings 6 months later. Anyway, this is the account from one of them arranging the protest outside his house.

MEDIA
Well reading all those tweets this guy comes across as a proper bellend.

Clearly he's gonna find negatives in everything.....he must be a member of the caf so :lol:
 
Imagine being ETH, recently taken on a job at a massive club in need of a rebuild and then this nonsense surfaces, absolute circus of a club and fan base.
