The deep-rooted issues at the Emirates boil down to Stan Kroenke and his management of Arsenal.

Many Arsenal fans are not followers of Stan Kroenke. They feel that there are no plans to rise from the ashes.

Despite hiring Mikel Arteta who worked under Pep Guardiola, Arteta requires firm financial support from a stable board to achieve what Pep has achieved at Manchester City. Even the appointment of German mastermind Sven Mislintat as a sporting director failed to bring the club back to its glory days.

In a hurry to revive the club, Arsenal fired former BVB scout and appointed Raul Sanllehi, who has been used as a scapegoat for his underperforming signings. The director of football has come under a lot of scrutiny as the club’s performance hasn’t improved despite breaking the bank.

The post-Arsene Wenger period was supposed to be one with lots of promises and the revival of the North London side. However, after Wenger left the Emirates, fans have concluded that one should be careful what they wish for without real thought behind their wish.

The Gunners’ board is to blame

It is difficult for Arsenal to get back to their best without changing or revamping their board, which has been the primary source of all problems. The revamp structure has to be decided before next season gets underway.

On the other hand, the Spanish manager has a lot of work to do with his players. Not only does he have to change the quality of their game but also the attitude which seems to be on the decline since Wenger’s departure.

If Arsenal’s to progress ahead in the upcoming seasons, they have to change in every aspect. In simple words, the club has to act like a “big club” rather than pretending like they are one.
