Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Cripps]

If true, it’s encouraging because we have appointed two senior people with real football experience from top clubs. We still have some pulling power. I’ve always hoped that the next manager we’d appoint would lead the charge for modernising the club and tell people like Gazidis the sort of support he needs around him. It looks like we’re a step ahead and creating the sort of set needed for the next manager to thrive.

These appointments tell me Ivan is well aware of the fact we're lagging in terms of structure, management and methods. Coupled with the catalyst for change comments, it's clear he isn't as deluded as Wenger and can see the wood from the trees. That gives me hope for the future.

I'm excited by these appointments and hope once wenger leaves and Ivan is given free reign, Ivan will remodel the club into a 21st century outfit ready to combat the modern game. And at the top of that list will be a good manager.

Just need Wenger to leave. Please let it be soon.

Maybe Gazidis isn’t as useless as we think.

Some encouraging movements at the top.

Legrove:

No idea how things will work, but you don’t hire Minslintat and Sanllehi if you’re not giving them a powerful seat at the table. Power players like those two unlikely to tolerate being marginalized by an underperforming manager.

Wenger has signed a 2 year extension.

Wenger has signed a 2 year extension.

I was 99.99999999999999999999999999% certain that was a joke.

But I hit Google anyway just to be 100% sure.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says chief executive Ivan Gazidis has "nothing to do" with buying players following the recent backroom changes at the club.

Sounds as if there might be some tension between them. Also:

'I know them all because I've been in the game before them,' he added. So of course I know everybody in every club in Europe, basically I know them all.'

Feels the need to big his reputation up. Someone usually does that when they feel threatened.

Let's see how this unfolds

Yeah to be fair, they haven't made 20000 substitutions.

Also as we know if he's not happy he'll go crying to Kroenke asking him to sort out the bad guys.
