Where do the problems lie at Arsenal?

Do you remember this day? The feeling you had as we lifted that trophy in 2005, the feeling you got as the goals went in, the moment you looked at this awesome team of players and thought: “wow well done guys that was some impressive football”. I actually cried happy tears that day, I shouted, I screamed, I laughed and I cried. It was the most amazing feeling to watch that team play the most exciting and passionate football ever.

For us as Arsenal fans, every game we have had since that day, feels like it has dragged on forever. In 7 seasons we went from being the team that went 49 games unbeaten to a team that couldn’t even score against the worst defence in the premiership. It happened so quickly and suddenly, the prospect of 8 seasons without any silverware seems more and more inevitable. Sadly we are at our worst under Wenger and the whole team looks like it is falling apart at the seams. Something needs to change…

I want Arsenal to go back to the days of playing games to win, players wanting to stay, holding onto our best players, competing with teams at the top of the league, playing exciting football, good tactical decisions, etc. Above all, I want Arsenal to go back to the days of putting football before finance. When you neglect a football team then there is no point of having the best finance model in town. Last season and this season are proof of that. We have lost all our best players and have replaced them with players that just don’t compare in terms of ability. The team aren’t playing well and that is a fact. We are substandard in key areas and there is a refusal to acknowledge that something isn’t working.

The main trouble at Arsenal is that nobody ever gives a clear answer to anything. For years we have had to endure Wenger saying there is no cash for transfers and then we have the board saying that there is £50-70m available. We are never told anything until the last-minute: that includes the transfers of Fabregas, Nasri and Van Persie. They were all decided way before they announced.

We have an investor who is known as ‘Silent Stan’, because he is never available to speak or interact with other shareholders and board members. He will most likely be taking a huge chunk of money out of the club in the future and then will probably sod off. He is very much into turning Arsenal into a corporation. He owns/has shares in 5 other teams in a variety of other sports in the USA and has been involved for many years. Only one of these clubs has won anything in the years that Stan has invested. Mainly because they have lost their best players. This man is all about the money and doesn’t have an interest in the sport at all. He is rarely at games unless they are important ones and it’s obvious that he is just here for the money.

Peter Hill-Wood is stumbling fool of a man who has made many mistakes – his main one was ever letting David Dein go. Hill-Wood, the man who once said about Kroenke, ”we don’t want his sort involved in our club” is completely at fault for allowing Arsenal to get into this state.  He has such a general disdain for fans, it is disgusting.

      Aww I am always happy honestly but I love Arsenal and have huge passion for them,I’ve supported them since the days of 8th/10th and lower but this has got really bad because THERE IS MONEY and they are neglecting football for finance.

    Wenger has never fixed the defence starting with the gk.On top of this he is consumed with his desire to emulate Barcelona. Hence the obssession with possession and excessive passing.
    This to my mind plays into the hands of the opposition.Against wily managers,hewon’t make headway as evidenced by his repeated losses to MU.His short passing game is easy to counter.
    I am still not convinced Arsenal can win any trophy under him.

    • niki says:

      I don’t think we can either. I don’t think he wants to win a trophy anymore and thats why we need someone with different priorities. Thank you for your comment 🙂

    Wenger is our problem……wenger pls leave arsenal alone……we nid our arsenal back

    It doesn’t have to be like this. We all know the problem is that regular dividends are more important than success or giving the paying fans value for money. If we want our club back we have to sing it loud week, after week, after week and shame the board and the manager.
