NOW ON THE MMQB: Conor Orr considers how fans, the
media, and GMs might perceive the combine differently... Andrew Brandt surveys important
business of
football developments... Robert Klemko opines about Lamar Jackson by looking at Connor Shaw, Jeff Driskel, and Chad Kelly... and more.
But as we know, it is not the
football media that does the transfer
business at Arsenal and until we hear for sure, we just have to wait and hope that the boss is on the ball.
Football is tribal, which is a huge part of it's popular appeal BUT the
media are
business people and mainly (though clearly not all) trained journalists whose job it is to write or speak the truth as they see it.
Its not about a bad manager its about having the finances and not buying the necessary players for the past three years that gets me, Budd you moan about the
media but its not its professionals who understand the
business of
football who are all agreeing that we needed players for the past 7 transfer windows, trust me without me going in to too much details i understand how
business are run and works and Arsenal is not thinking too far ahead, we have already lost ground in the world of top clubs by not wining a major trophy, now you might not care about wining like you said couple of weeks ago but pls understand
football is a competition sport and nearly all the fans would like us to win a major trophy soon,
All this is accepted blindly as being the norms of
football for no other reason than it is what the Market wants and does (sic ``... like «trading»,
football is a results
business»)-- indeed these values are lauded and held up on high so that we now reach the point here when even a truly great manager is being subjected to a witch - hunt by sections of the
media and so - called fans who question his tenure of his post and ask what has he got to do to be sacked.
Until someone with proper expertise in myriad areas of sports science,
football coaching,
business, finance, law, PR,
media, marketing, human resources etc etc has unfettered access to all board meeting minutes, records of all discussions with players, full player medical records, details of all contacts with agents, other clubs, other players, seen copies of player contracts and negotiations, understands the financial imperatives, interprets the
business accounting, has reviewed the
business plan, has knowledge of the employer / employee contractual relationship between Wenger and the club, has intimate insight in to the goals and objectives of the
business and the club — then everyone is filling in the gaps with their own version of events and will necessarily always be a long, long way from anything close to any «truth».
I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major
media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I get it, few wanted to turn on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs to be changed and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we get back to the
business of playing championship caliber
football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization... on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision
A video of Jiang being interviewed by a Chinese
football media outlet has been shared on Chinese social
media in which he confirms that
business relationship but refuses to comment on the transfer.
«We have seen far too much greedy, wanton corruption in too many spheres in government, in politics, public administration, in
