No excuse for me, it's a nasty thing to do by a club who care about one thing and one thing only, that's not the right way to run a company IMO, you can make money without stamping on the little man inthe process, this club has shown it's true colours with the redundancies and it's actions, everything is about money and it's no surprise we're failures on the pitch.



I'm not sure there's anyone we should admire, Arteta got a job at a big club (no other big club would have touched him let's be honest), earning big money, he'd have been crazy to turn it down so it's wasn't a hard decision.

As for the others, that's what they're paid for, paid handsomely for without having done much in many cases, it's not like it was 20-30 years ago where people played for the love of game, it's a different time when money talks.

There's nothing to admire in modern football IMO.
Gunnersaurus was made redundant, not sacked, there is a difference. Are you privy to the redundancy pay out he got? I am certainly not and it's why I have not joined in with the "Arsenal are so mean getting rid of people like this", moreover, they have released him temporarily until the COVID situation is sorted out...

The decision isn't ridiculous and why you and others are comparing us temporarily relieving the club mascot against signing a new player is beyond me. What do you suggest we do? Not invest in the team? Would you be happy with that if it meant we kept on certain staff paying them wages to sit at home? I don't even understand why they are linked...it makes no sense.

The point I was making about Arteta is admiring the work he has done so far given the difficult circumstances that have surrounded him taking on his first ever managerial job, money again has nothing to do with it. It's the personal circumstances and decisions he has made that I admire.

I don't admire the financial side of football at all so I get where you are coming from with that, but I also don't admire the financial side of many things these days so I term it as a problem with society, capitalism, everything has a price.
