Is This Goodbye Arsenal?
Arsenal are standing on the threshold of irrelevance in the Premier League. They have no Champions League football for a second season running and should that happen a third time then players are simply not going to want to go there, not the top echelon of players anyway.They will be stuck, below the top tier feeding off scraps, the scraps UEFA Champions League sides leave them.
These days players want Champions League football, we saw it many times when we were a Europa League club, a player would agree to sign for us on the condition he couldn't find a Champions League side, invariably they did. We couldn't pay top wages of course, we simply didn't have the income and our finances were geared towards getting the best credit arrangements to build a new stadium.
While others expect the stadium to affect on the field performance, we are a better run club than most realise and the fact we have increased our income sufficiently to up players wages demonstrates that. Qualifying for the Champions League will be a priority again, while we go in search of a trophy.
Catching those above us financially is no longer a pipe dream, but a work in progress. The leap to the next level isn't far away and Arsenal fans you can see all over Twitter panicking about it.
They want to hurl insults because that is all they have now, like little boys in the playground to the bigger boys, who just laugh and ignore them. It's an attempt to stay relevant, any attention is better than no attention.
