Jack Wilshere has hit out at how ‘Arsenal people’ have been ‘forced out’ of the club ever since Arsene Wenger’s departure, as he told the Highbury Squad Podcast.
The midfielder was asked to share his thoughts on the Kroenke’s and also claimed that the Arsenal owners need to ‘invest more money’ into the club.
Arsenal’s decline under their American owners over the last ten+ years has been pretty remarkable and frightening, in truth.
Whatever happens, those running the Arsenal ship will never be popular with those who pay for their tickets and support the club from afar.
Wilshere, who worked under the Kroenke regime, was asked to share his thoughts on the club’s owners, as he expressed his annoyance at certain decisions that have been made.
“When I was a player, I wouldn’t have a clue what’s going on,” admitted Wilshere. “It’s only now, since I have stepped away from it, and I am looking into it where you read more things.
“You aren’t in there, so you don’t know what’s exactly going on. It’s a difficult question for me to answer. Yes, I want Arsenal to do well. Yes, I want them to invest more money. But I am not in the club. I am not sure about the conversations that are going on.
“One thing I will say, I spoke openly about this on social media, was about Steve Bould and these type of people leaving the club.
“I do feel that slowly, since Arsene has left, these Arsenal people, who have been there for years, who love the club like us. They have a role to play. I have been at the club where the physio is a real Arsenal man, nothing to do with football, but he has got me going for a game. Them people have, slowly but surely, been forced out of the club. That’s one thing that does slightly annoy me.”
It’s crazy to think that the last time Arsenal were Premier League champions they went unbeaten all season.
And to think they haven’t lifted that much-wanted crown again is pretty remarkable.
The only way Arsenal will move forward is if those in suits sell up because nothing suggests that they can get back to their glory days under the Kroenke’s.
Spotify owner Daniel Ek has expressed a desire to buy the club, but that trail has gone cold of late.
