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!!!
i cant help my anger at this point becos its a result
of so much pent up frustration and the managers
failure to recognise issues and
failure to ever acknowledge our fans and i refuse to stick my head in the ground and come up smiling after beating stoke at home 2 - 0, maybe if the manager had ever once just said «i
feel for the fans» or apologise to travelling fans after gutless away displays, but no he does nt
feel accountable to any1 despite the thousands
of times «theres only one arsene wenger» rings in his ears, hes gotten more love and trust than youd give your wife but wot has he given you in return the last 4 years???? not even acknowledgement, and in between the poor run hes given us more than his fair share
of touchline controversy which reflects badly on us and the club in regards to fair play.and he never sees anything!!!! be honest and come out like moyes and bruce, its refreshing!!!! the standards at the club hav plummeted and where chels, utd, pool and even villa / city / spurs hav so many players who
fight and uphold club traditions we only hav cesc, gallas, verm, RvP, sagna and arsha who, IMO really care and who
fight when our backs are to the wall....
