Arsene Wenger has blocked a boardroom move to install Gunners great Thierry Henry on the coaching staff until the end of the season.
The Frenchman has been primed to answer an Arsenal SOS by some board members, led by the influential Josh Kroenke, son of majority shareholder Stan.
Kroenke Jr believes the dressing room needs a lift and thinks Henry would sprinkle some gold dust on a club in danger of missing out on a top-four finish and Champions League football.
