Good Bye RVP!

[Joker]

Why are people so shocked by RVP's reaction and statement? Don't you think he's reacting to what's been written about him in the press and these sort of statements from the club.

PHW



This was released after he already rejected a contract extension. That must have pissed him off. It was agreed by the club and RVP that there would be an announcement after the Euros and everything that was discussed in that meeting would be kept private by both parties.

So what the heck was PHW playing at? He openly questioned his integrity and linked the case to money over trophies with full knowledge of what was said in that meeting. Robin had a gag order placed on him and wasn't able to dispute the claims. He comes back from the Euros and the club still haven't made an announcement, yet Wenger is still saying he's confident RVP will stay, we've supported him, we're not selling him to Juve....the club kept on stalling and suggesting he's staying while we're all under the impression that the sticking point is the wages or he's waiting to see who we sign, when a decision was made before the Euros.

This is why RVP made a statement. It was a bad move and it doesn't look good on him but I get the feeling he felt as if the club tried to smear his image while gagged and make out as if it's about money. This is why it has turned ugly.

Having read those statements from PHW, you're right that he deserves a fair amount of the blame as well. It does appear that, knowing that RVP was not going to sign a contract, they decided to engage in some propaganda so that when the decision was revealed, fans would automatically think he was leaving for the money.
That doesn't excuse RVP's statement though IMO.

Sorry mate but I disagree totally. RVP made his statement because he wants to agitate a move away from the club, probably because he's been tapped up with a mega offer from Citeh, and neither wants to lose money (which he would do if he put in a formal transfer request), nor be held to the fial year of his contract. The idea that its in 'revenge' for anything the Chairman said is bollocks, IMO. If revenge was his motivation he'd have come clean on a decision he clearly made some time ago, before now.

I know people like to bash PHW, but I don't see a lot wrong with what he's said there.

'If x offer £250k a week we can't match it'

Wow, I'm surprised RVP didn't sue for that.

The implication was that if RVP was going to leave, it was for the money. He shouldn't have been saying anything, given that there was a gagging order on RVP. It was propaganda to cover the board's back, so that when the inevitable happened and RVP announced he was going to leave, the fans would automatically assume it's for the money.

This is not to defend RVP, who thinks he's a better player than he really is, but to show that the board have once again shown themselves up to be completely out of touch.

[Kano]

before png associated those two articles, not one person on any board i read has referred back to what phw said. not one.

everyone has made their own minds up about why he wants to leave.

perhaps arsenal fans are not as naive as you like to think they are.

The fans know it's for money regardless. You only have to read RVP's statement to realise that it's for money.

P diddy to the HW, is a knob at times, but on this occassion, he was completely right.

So nothing to do with trophies whatsoever?

Yeah, the guy who was part of a cabal that profited from the Club to the tune of half a billion pounds was spot on when he talked of player greed.

No.

Otherwise he'd be off to Celtic.
