Odgers — who had a
fight - to - goal ratio of 15 to 1 in the 1998 - 99 regular
season, who had seven fewer shots during this postseason
than Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman had goals —
last scored so long ago that Monica Lewinsky was still
doing her bit to bring down a president instead of simply
doing bits on Saturday Night Live.
Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the
last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be
fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future
than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers of our own success by
doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured
last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to
do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this
season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!
Il put it like this, utd have a squad of OAPs and they saw out the league better
than us
last season, van der sar, giggs, scholes, neville, ferdinand and co, they are winners, nasri, diaby, denilson, walcott
do nt have the stomach for a
fight
