Gazidis was brought on board by AW.

First time ever at a football club properly where the chief executive of a club was done by the manager of the club. Arsene is much more powerful than a poor puppet. He pulls almost all the strings at Arsenal. It is very simple.. he wouldnt have stayed at Arsenal if he didnt have control over the running of the football side of things. If AFC is failing at football, I'll blame AW. When we went unbeaten, I dont recall people creaming their pants over the board, they were creaming over AW (and rightly so). If we are failing at football then the blame is entirely on Arsene.
