Arsenal board Need to Inject Cash to Support Arteta or They Might as Well Accept a Mid Table Position Every Year

by The Highbury Flyer - 06/04/202124/04/2021

I don’t care how they do it and neither do you, but the Arsenal board has to invest properly this summer if they have any chance of challenging for top honours. Forget this self-sustaining model that they verbally peddle out regularly to justify their miserly ways, the fans are tired of

The Arsenal boardroom: – A Haven for Cowards, Imposters, Swindlers, Cheapskates and con Artists

Over the years, my absolute loathing of the Arsenal board and the club’s American owner has become increasingly intense. There was the sacking of Wenger for the countless trophy-less seasons, which they had a hand in. Then they embarked on a radical restructuring at the top end of the club and

Arsenal’s sudden and unexpected exit from the Europa League now puts Mikel Arteta under additional pressure to grab a top four slot even though they are ill prepared to participate in the Champions league, should it happen. The Premier League is so tight and Arsenal’s form is so erratic, that

Emery Fails to Appreciate his own Contribution to his Inevitable Sacking by Blaming the Fans

by The Highbury Flyer - 10/02/202013/02/2020

Unai Emery has failed to read the post mortem notes following the death of his Arsenal career. The Spanish coach seems somewhat delusional about his own role in his sacking, preferring to be the victim of circumstances. Emery had lost control of the dressing room and with each change of lineup,

The Penny Finally Drops as Arsenal Board Agree to Find Reinforcements for Arteta

I’ve been saying it for a while now and I’ve also made a conscious effort to ignore all the twaddle generated by Sky Sports and other media sources, which insisted that Arsenal were unlikely to spend in January because of their hefty investment last summer. Since Emery left and Arteta took

Has the Transfer Window Come at the Wrong Time for Arteta

There’s two ways to look at the January transfer window. Firstly, from a fans perspective, there surely isn’t a single supporter who hasn’t identified the genuine need for two centre backs and possibly another creative midfielder. The defensive issue is and has been a burning concern for several seasons and although

Freddie Ljungberg, Ljungberg, Arsenal manager

Arsenal want him to stay but the truth is that Freddie Ljungberg looks like he could be moved sideways to allow Mikel Arteta free reign to install his own support system and staff. It was one of the details that Raul Sanllehi agreed in Arsenal’s complex negotiations with the Spaniard, with

Claims of Apprentice Style Interview Process for the Arsenal job are Farcical

by The Highbury Flyer - 11/12/201911/12/2019

Arsenal board may be in need of a reality check if the Mirror's claim about the North London club's apprentice style interviews are true. With a number of high profile managers in retreat at the mere mention of the Arsenal job and with possible financial restrictions in place, they would do

Arsenal a Club in Chaos- Part Two:- Arsenal were Conned into Buying a Substandard Defender and worse Still into Hiring a Coach That Can’t Manage his Players

by The Highbury Flyer - 05/12/2019

Having dealt exclusively with the Gunners' boardroom structure in the first part, it’s time to look at how Arsenal killed off their season before a ball was kicked. It started with a flawed strategy in terms of their defence, with Bellerin and Holding already sidelined, they drafted in the injured but

Arsenal a Club in Chaos- Part one:- Someone needs to be Held Accountable for This Mess

by The Highbury Flyer - 04/12/2019

The gloves are off, it’s finally got to me and I’m done with trying to be reasonable and objective. Arsenal have completely written off this season after just 13 games, not even halfway through the campaign. Emery of course is the man in the firing line but his appointment was a

Time for Josh Kroenke to Clear up the Mess and Solve Arsenal’s Problems

by The Highbury Flyer - 25/11/2019

It’s been suggested that Josh Kroenke has already spoken to Raul Sanllehi and that he will be venturing to North London for a hands on meeting with the rest of the board and Arsenal’s coach Unai Emery. Reports in the media claim that the majority of the board are still supporting

Petit Accuses Arsenal’s Hierarchy of Lies but it’s not Entirely Unfamiliar to any Football Supporter

by The Highbury Flyer - 17/11/201917/11/2019

Former Gunner, Emmanuel Petit, has been busy on all things Arsenal. Saturating the press with his various views on life at the Emirates and on topics such as potential management candidates. Normally the Frenchman’s comments are considered and not dreadfully controversial but perhaps, he was just waiting for the right opportunity. After

Suggested Arsene Wenger Return to Arsenal Is All Bit Baffling To Take

Arsene Wenger announces that Arsenal has made an approach for his return to the club where he served as Manager and head honcho for a staggering 22 years. https://twitter.com/SemperFiArsenal/status/1170739722513088512?s=19 His amazing and successful reign ended when the board were left with no other option than to sack him. It wasn’t announced, it

Why Arsenal’s Top Brass Should Communicate With Each Other Before Talking To The Press

by The Highbury Flyer - 24/06/201928/06/2019

I’m getting sick to death of the utterances of Arsenal chief Vinai Venkatesham and Head of Football Raúl Sanllehi, who insist on talking about the club’s strategy and the ‘hugely ambitious’ Kroenke. It’s alright talking the talk, but there’s very little evidence of walking the walk in the eyes of Arsenal’s

Two Reasons Why Unai Emery Is Doomed To Failure At Arsenal

by The Highbury Flyer - 23/06/201913/07/2019

Emery doomed to failure by financial minefield and Stan Kroenke, an owner that wants a status symbol rather than success. Unai Emery’s transfer window activity will either pave the way to success or failure and if it turns out that Arsenal are unable to buy the necessary quality replacements to rebuild
