I want to see this club working smarter again, and I just don’t see that happening unless they’re forced into it. Josh’s statement at the fans’ forum [about how they have big plans for the club] worries me - really worries me - with the people we have in charge.
We’ve been operating with a CL budget in the years we’ve been out of it anyway. I remember Wenger or Gazidis saying in 2017 we had factored in not qualifying for a year or 2 but I don’t think anyone at the club expected us to go 5 seasons without qualification. Feels like the more we double down, the worse it’s got.

This club is such a mess on and off the pitch. It would be somewhat palatable if we had a team we could be proud of but this is undoubtedly the worst Arsenal team in a generation. Without the young players input we’d probably be hovering above the relegation zone.
