The Mail say David O'Leary is the source of tension among #Arsenal's hierarchy with Sir Chips Keswick facing resistance in his bid to induct the former captain onto the club's board as a football consultant. Raul Sanllehi is said to be against the move. https://t.co/xtlltQYp6J
Leary can fuck right off, jumping up and down the line the day we lost the fuckin league, actually he's going on the CUNNT list
You mean he wasnt already on it?
He's been on mine for over 20 years because of that night
Trust me he is on it.
Never forgave him for his OTT celebrations at dirty Leeds when he handed the title to the manc filth.
Good work mate
There was also the blowing kisses at Pires thing a couple of seasons later when we lost 1-0 up there again. If I remember rightly O'Leary did it during the game from the touchline and then again after the game as Arsenal were leaving. Either Henry or Vieira had to hold Pires back.
Nowhere near as bad as what happened in 1999 of course but it shows there was no regret on O'Leary's part or else he would have made more of an effort to respect us and our players.

I've no argument with O'Leary being on the sh.it list after his shenanigans. I fail to understand what our esteemed board think he can offer us after being out of PL football for over 10 years. But then you have to wonder at the genius behind this attempted appointment - dear old Sir Chips offers us what exactly As a 79 year old, old Etonian he is the classic representation of yesterday's man. If ever there was a weak attempt to try and win over the fans without spending money on a player then this must be what it looks like. No wonder Sanllehi is resisting this.....more bullsh.it from AFC.
Kroenke is our Hicks and Gillett except our fanbase are too meek to do anything about it.
Sounds like they can't fill their new stadium anyway, they will have that in common then because soon the corporate bowl will be half-full most games as well, these w&nkers suck the life out of everything they touch.
Quite an interesting read. The guy has done some research and raises some valid points although I think with wiggy's attitude to spending we should be safe enough to this kind of system or alternatively will see some similar Pepe structure deals going through for complete nobodies.
Either way I couldn't get past the line that Nuno is "Emery with a beard"
As much as we may not want it to be, we all know inside that we are Totally Fuckked every which way as long as the kroenke's own the club. At least Usmanov the Oligarch seemed like he was willing to invest rather than just take his annual chunk of dosh and use Arsenal as a levergae on other investments.
It is just utterly depressing.
As for O'leary he may have been one hell of a player for us, but ever since he left, he has been 1,000% cuntt.
He used to do the occasional bit of punditry and was always only too keen to slag us off.
Just like the Al Qaeda 'list' once someone goes on the Gooner C.U.N.T 'List' they are on there forever!
Just been messaged the following: "The LA Rams new stadium which was to cost $2bn overrun is now looking like it could come in at $6bn. Their team is f***ed too with overloaded contracts. This is going to have a knock-on effect for sure"
Well if that's true, there are plenty of multi-billionaires who now ant to be part of owning a Prem League club, maybe Usmanov would step back in or there are Chinese and Arabic squillionaires who who could buy out wiggy with the spare change in their back pocket.
As I type that I realise just how sad an indictment it is that our choices are that some non-british person/conglomerate who doesn't REALLY give a shyte about Arsenal FC, just about having their over-inflated ego, face and name aligned with a football club that is in the Prem league.
This world gets darker and uglier by the fuckin hour.
What price success huh?

Optimistic view - Stan K sells Arsenal???
Via twitter
That would be nice. The Rams aren't doing too well this year so perhaps it might be for the best if he sold us to concentrate fully on them.
ESPN.com reported that the cost overruns at the new Rams stadium in Los Angeles now exceed $3.1 bn. It was projected to cost $1.86 bn in 2015 and later revised by the Rams to $2.4 bn. The cost now: an estimated $5 bn. And, of course, there could be cost overruns on the cost overruns hence the $6bn figure. Fu.ck you Stan.
