Wenger Not Behind Arsenal 8 Year Trophy Drought by Nobody: 8:29am On Feb 26, 2013
Arsenal fans all over the world may be witnessing again another trophyless season for 8 years- a controversial situation that kept wenger on the bad side. Arsenal is owned by two men of different worth, Stan Kroenke and Alishier Usmanov with Stan kroenke the lion owner of the club with 70% share. Stan Kroenke is a American well established business tycoon.
Arsenal is a business club and Arsene Wenger is a business manager. How can a football manager be working as a coach and also as a vital board member. Yes, wenger is a member of arsenal board with peter Hillwood the Arsenal chairman all these men are all proffesors and eminent men in business. Now, tell me how can wenger be a board member and as well, a coach? He knows the game being played there and his job is to keep the business going.
Don't blame Wenger when he returns half of the money given to him to sign players, don't blame him when, he sells cesc fabregas, nasri,song,flamini,adebayor,van persie., Blame the Arsenal owner and the board.
Some years ago when cesc fabregas and Samir Nasri we sold, Stan Kroenke was in America enjoying the summer holiday. When wenger returns money back to the board, he didn't do that on purpose. He attends the board meeting, he knows what he was told to do and as a business manager he also know to do.
Now, take a look at the obvious side of the play; Shouldn't the board force wenger to buy players and never return money? Does Abramovic force Di Matteo to sign or Di Matteo forces him? Don't blame Wenger, he's helpless and he's only option is to resign. The looks in his face shows he's uncomfortable but the man is helpless. He's the highest payed manager in Premiership, for what? I think they pay him as a manager and as a board member as well.
The Arsenal 30% owner, Usmanov was manadated not to venture into the Arsenal board. Isn't that ridiculous? A coach is a board member but the second club owner isn't there. Usmanov is a billionare, an oil billionare and not interested in business and recently he wrote an open letter to the board on how they av ruined the club. I label him "anti arsenal" cos he's always against everything Arsenal does. He wants to buy Arsenal, he loves sposts and Thierry Henry had told him "he's fully behind him" but he's not allowed in the board.
So don't blame wenger, he's a fantastic manager and when he's gone, you(fans) will miss him. If the board are not happy with trophy drought, they should sack him. How can a manager in a big club go trophyless for 8 years and yet not sacked? They knew it wasn't his fault.
Don't blame wenger; blame kroenke, peter Hillwood and Ivan Gazidis.
