bloody hell...luving it!

got them on the ropes...no truth to it wouldn't get such a quick response

I smell smoke!

I find it a weird and weak denial

"When we had to suffer the team is a lion because they suffer together." 4 July 2020 at Wolverhampton Wanderers
Arteta on his team's first away victory at a club above them in the Premiership since September 2015 at Leicester.

if I'm not mistaken the e mail suggests I did get the info from someone within the club

"we appreciate you've possibly had a steer from someone that has a contact here at the club"


love their use of the word steer, never came across it used in this way, don't laugh, had to ask padre what they meant

*Signing Ozil is a signing Bergkamp type moment for Arsenal. It changes things utterly.*

Its almost as if they confirmed that the rumour must have come from someone close to the club.

Personally didn't think it was true but at least we have some sort of voice. If we could all air all concerns like the end of season survey put it in a piece and let them go through what is true and false would be be great move.

Preferably long just to take the P*ss.

Theodore roosevelt - In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

The fact they say someone at the club gave you this means they know someone has said something and why would that person lie and the futile attempt to get you to report to them first says it all.


Someone is rattled that's for sure


It's simple show everyone just how much you support him by giving him the tools he needs to do his job.

I bet Ivan's beady little LYING eyes are scanning this as we write. HI, IVAN.

got one, Wenger asked for big money LB, AM and ST but the board said F*** off, you can only get one. We need the transfer money for the debt. Is this true?

methinks the lady doth protest too much.

That really is a quite remoarkable denial....and so quick.

Moderate response from the Club, which denies any truth in the story. Personally if I was in the Media Group, and you'd fabricated a story, I'd be after your cojones. With so much ridding on reputation you need to guard it with your life.

p.s. Responding in 14 days seems a bit odd, but maybe it's just the time needed to reply to all the mail.

but they are not accusing AT of fabrication, it is as if they accept that someone is putting the story out

well if you put it like that...

anyone got anything they wanna get off their chest? might be your best chance with us being spied on nd all?

Thats a strange post though in fairness, are they outright just accepting that ed's source has come from someone from within the club?

It certainly looks like it Bee

Ivan please GO (we're sick of your lies) and take Kronke with you. Let us get an owner or plural who actually will care for this club and not more parasites.

There, I've said my piece. Feels good.

That 6.5% insult really seems to be a matter of what goes around comes around. Be more and more empty seats and merchandise losses while this lot hang around. Now they've been caught out, they might do us a solid and go away.

next milestone:

ANy of you diehard fans that travel to Udinese, please senak in a question to Arsene Wenger during psot-match interview:

"Is there any truth that you are at loggerhead with the Board?"

Padre, are you attending that regular Friday Meeting with Arsene Wenger?
Or can you get AST to pose the above question to Wenger?

Can you try to sneak you this question as well:
"if Real approaches you to replace Mourinho next summer, will you still elave Arsenal FC?"..

so couldnt the source get the sack then? or be ostracised(sp) as a whistleblower,

these threads really turned from a matchstick to an uncontrolable fire, at least it got there bakcs up,

Let moi put it this way.

Ed is Irish, and there is an Irish Mafia at Arsenal FC....

they have to find the source, and I aint telling

*Signing Ozil is a signing Bergkamp type moment for Arsenal. It changes things utterly.*

merl you are just trying to get pat rice the sack

Methinks its possibly a shareholder on the board. Twitter may be a clue. One or two moaners from the board on there.

Pretty decent of her to respond regardless if the denial is varly weak.
Its been quite a monumental few days around here, the swiftness of the reply demonstrates that the club is beginning to realise that the supporter discontent is not confined soley to a chorus of boos and the end of a game.

Whether Eduardo's article is factual or not is irrelevant as far as Iam concerned, the simple fact there has been over 100k views further reinforces that the support want the truth in relation to the direction this club is going.

Ive seen quite a number of AFC bloggers and people who are supposed to be in the know also dismiss the article today, thats their pregrogative but they didnt offer an alternative arguemnt either (neither did the club spokesperson).

Momentum has built up on this issue over the last couple of days, the onus on those of us who advocate transparency at AFC is to keep up the pressure on the club and more specificaly the owner for answers as to what exactly this clubs ambitions are and how they plan to achieve it.

I saw on twitter today..that of all the gazillion 'fake' articles that are written about Arsenal every day, they choose to respond to this one

makes you say uummmm

Thats actually true, theres an argument then that maybe they may have been better off ignoring it for a few days to kind of belittle the issue if you like. The quick response received does suggest that we've roughled a few feathers .

Another thing, no encouragement to take the post down? If it's so untrue wouldn't any company be concerned that 100000+ people have seen this article and thus maybe under false illusions as to whats actually happening within their organisation?

Thats actually a basic concept of why people sue really, very strange the more I think of it.

You're gonna get your phone hacked ED lol

What a badly written response! Are we now hiring 15 year old press officers from Africa as well as players?

I have serious reservations about the quality of non-playing staff the club employ. Media officers who can't write, commercial staff who produce nothing thus leaving us ever further behind our competitors and a CEO who is seriously out of his depth.

This club used to be a byword for ''well-run''. It appears to be a shambles at all levels. I'm not convinced that Wenger still is the man for the job, but nobody could blame him for being frustrated with a board that that bears ultimate responsibility for incompetence at non-playing level.

Whatever your feelings on Wenger, he isn't the big problem at the club. I never had high hopes for the team under Kroenke (look what a pile of @#$%& his American teams are)as its evident to me he is here to squeeze cash out of us, but at least I thought commercial and media performance would improve under American stewardship.

As much as it hurts, Arsenal FC need a complete overhaul from top to bottom. Usmanov is the only realistic hope I can see.

i dont think you should have posted her telephone number in the article. there is no need

It was poorly written - like somebody new as an apprentice getting their first run out to phrase something to a very unimportant client. Frightnigly that's coming from the top of the foodchain in there.

erm how many of thise fake articles get emailed to arsenal directly

i think you guys are getting excited over a whole bunch of nothing

Lets be honest, if the response was brilliantly written and if it emphatically denied the claims, then I think most of you would still be skeptical.

"Hmm that seems too well written, something is definitely going on, where's my tin-foil hat?".

I'm not having a go because I'm new on this website and don't have the right to poke fun at any of you but is there any evidence to suggest this response isn't absolutely true and there is no division within the club? Is there any evidence to suggest the article was spot on and the club are definitely hiding something? The answer to both questions is no, it seems there's plenty of theory involved without actual fact.

Shane...I work in media and marketing and have done so for the better part of my life

I've seen absolute true stories about celebrities held under control and kept quiet with good PR and getting in front of a situation and the general public believes its a lie when in fact its true

That response by Arsenal is just Damage Control...its something thats a little too close to home so they know that they have to respond immediately before it turns into a fire that cannot be controlled and engulfs the club

especially in today's viral era, it doesn't take long for such things to happen

I agree that we don't know whats true and what's not...but we have to agree that Wenger isn't crazy and if you look at his statements and certain happenings around the club...its not hard to put 2 and 2 together

believe me if it was absolutely false..the email would ave had a different tone to it...if you even got a response in the first place


[arsenalsigs.blogspot.com]

Yes Shane but it dont hurt to pull their chain occasionaly does it.

shane you are never to new to poke fun

get em telt son

Shane, I wasn't commenting on how much truth there is in Eduardo's ''exclusive'', although I do believe there is no smoke without fire.

I was observing that the club are badly run from top to bottom.

Whether its a PR bimbo who can't write, a commercial team who achieve comically poor results in comparison to their counterparts at other clubs, a CEO who is so far out of his depth thats its painful to watch or a parasitic stay away majority shareholder with no idea about football or the club and a track record of mediocrity in American sports. Its not up to scratch.

Seeing Arsenal in crisis is one thing. I can live with that. Seeing the club raped, exploited and mismanaged in a way that makes the average African dictatorship look like a Swiss clockwrk really hurts though.

Having kept the puppet board of Hill Wood & co in place makes it even harder to stomach. All these symptoms developed under their watch. Why are they still there now they have lined their pockets. Its offensive. The least Kroenke could do is put new puppets in there. At least it would feel like a kiss before we get @#$%&.

Go on and have a date with her, you might get something.

There is friction in every boardroom in the world I would well imagine,but AW has cut a dejected figure for some while now.he is under pressure like never before its now we will see his true quality.
I await with bated breath the annoncments to flood out after tonights demolition of Udinese.

Have to add my own 2 bit on this matter. Regardless of the denial of the issue of loggerheads or not, the story does sound very plausible.

Arsene is not stupid, so I do believe in this 4 pronged attack thats been speculated about in this artcle. Inasmuch as we can pride ourselves on our wage structure we do need to make our stars feel valued and appreciated. Not pay over the odds but at least have some semblance of a competitive wage structure.

How do we expect to attract superior talent now that the team is being decimated? Not many highly sought after players would want to come to a team thats looking like its in decline. I read the article and was close to tears when the reality hit me. It was like how i felt losing to spurs at the emirates last season, it was emotionally crushing. What the hell is happening to our beloved team.

Its hard to be optimistic when the reality staring you in the face is so obvious. Would i be seen as being cowardly if i say this season which is only 2 games in is a write off? And possibly the next season or 2?

My heart bleeds. I can always get another woman but can never ever have another team ;(

I thought the term was a `bum steer`, as in bad info.
I`m in agreement with most and think why respond at all?
I think the article was well written and quite compelling, but for such a quick responce, some one at our club is keen to stamp on it.
2 points. Eds story makes a whole lot of sense and answers a number of whys and what-fors.
If indeed the story has foundation, it`s not good thing for us fans. It means our club IS in crisis and we could be in for a depressing season.

Since the end of WW1, 1919, when the FA restarted its 4 tier football league, with Arsenal fc in the 1st div, there’s only ever been one club to have never been relegated from Div 1/ EPL.

Arsenal fc

Let’s keep making history

this is what it should be...they have been pretending as though fans are idiots, spinning lies & deception here & there..they got fans to dig up the truth by themselves are now they are rattled.. we just want to know the truth..no more spinning of fables & acting as though all is well

Can We Now Trust The Process 🤔🤷🏿‍♀️ or Should We Still Remain Cautious 🙇🏿‍♀️

F,ucking amen brother. I've seen us in crisis before - never raped like now. Kronke is a a parasitic vermin; and that vile spin monkey Gazidis - this is not our Arsenal!!!!!
