ARSENAL'S ANNUS HORRIBILIS?

 

Prone as I am to positivity when it comes to The Arsenal, let me tell you where I’m at; reality is going to hit hard. This club lost its grip on what the club means when it believed in Wenger’s economics. The move to the Emirates and the introduction of Gazidis was completely money motivated, but not money to put into the club but to be taken out. We then lay in bed with agents making stupid deals with stupid contracts that only benefit their clients and line pockets of those individuals at Arsenal only interested in what they can get from the club.  We got in Emery and then Arteta because they were cheap. Everything about the Kroenkes, Venkatesham and Edu seems to be about getting their piece of the pie

It’s actually quite scandalous that we moved away from Highbury to earn more so that we could be competitive when in actual fact we earn more to line the pockets of the parasites draining the club dry

We have become less competitive year on year as we continue making bad, agent led, signings, selling decent players for peanuts or letting them go on a free.

The reality is that any top top manager wouldn’t touch us with a barge pole under the current regime because they know that they will be hampered by decision makers whose only incentive is personal greed.

This has happened over a decade and a half and it’s happened by increments so many haven’t noticed the, for want of a better word, embezzlement .

This new documentary about us may give a hint at the corrupt shambles but it will be heavily controlled, and the timing of it will probably be something that all involved in red lighting it will live to regret.

This season is going to be shambolic. In my view Arsenal will achieve nothing. Too many mediocre players on ridiculous contracts which will mean the promising young players will inevitably be overplayed. No back up keeper. There are issues with Aubameyang's form. Lack of investment means we can’t get the players we need and can't off load he players we don't want, and when it comes to the crunch (as highlighted in the two Villareal games) Arteta is not experienced enough.

I honestly feel it’s going to be an absolute sh*t  show and Arteta may not last the distance. His replacement will be underwhelming and we’ll end up disheartening our youth, which the vultures at the club will benefit from as they will raise a pretty penny.

Iv'e not even mentioned the debacle of FFP and what that means in terms of competing!

I see an Annus Horribilis ahead.
