Wenger losing control at Arsenal as Kroenke over-rules Nasri decision
Arsene Wenger was given complete control when the old Arsenal Board was in command at the Emirates, and they were quite happy to let him run the team his way while the share price was growing exponentially,but now there is a new man in control who has the main aim of making more money.
There are signs that Stan Kroenke is trying to stamp his money-making ideas on the club already with Wenger being forced to take his team on a tour of the Far East in pre-season, whilst Wenger has always preferred a quiet, low-key, confidence-building exercise in the local environs of Europe.
Kroenke insisted on the long distance tour to generate more fans and shirt sales in Asia as well as the £4m that the club earnt from the games themselves.
More recently a power struggle began to surface when Wenger insisted that it was more important for the team to keep Samir Nasri for the final year of his contract, rather than cash in now, and Wenger made sure that the media knew that this was his preference.
But now it has been decided that Nasri WILL be sold against Wenger’s wishes, and it was reported today how this came about. This article came out today in the respected UK paper The Independent who said that the paper “understands that manager Wenger was powerless to hold on to Nasri after a board meeting eight days ago at which principal shareholder Stan Kroenke insisted that it would be folly to sacrifice City’s money and see the Frenchman leave as a free agent next summer. Wenger did not put up a fight and City hope to announce the signing of the player imminently.”
As many commenters have mentioned, Kroenke is in this game simply to make money, and although Wenger has consistently done that job until now, Kroenke is making sure that the club generates even more cash from his leadership than before. He has little interest in whether this will have any impact on the team’s fitness or strength and is purely in the game to make more money.
Or am I wrong?
The Independent understands that manager Wenger was powerless to hold on to Nasri after a board meeting eight days ago at which principal shareholder Stan Kroenke insisted that it would be folly to sacrifice City’s money and see the Frenchman leave as a free agent next summer. Wenger did not put up a fight and City hope to announce the signing of the player imminently.

Kronke is right. Wenger should re-invest the money in someone who wants to play for the club rather than resist the move and do nothing

this is all wrong, I read the article earlier which had quotes, basically the board had a meeting which Wenger was at, Kronke said it makes sense to sell him now rather than keeping an unhappy player for another season and letting him go for nothing, and Arsene Wenger agreed with this, now im not saying Kronke isnt there just purely for the money but at the end of the day, the teams which win trophys generate a lot more than the teams who just finish high in the table, no doubt there will be Arsenal fans who comment on this and will believe everything they read, but face the fact that almost every chairman in the world is after making money at a club, but hes willing to invest etc so he isnt just there to cash in, it was an obvious decision to sell a unhappy player now for 20+m rather than waiting a year and getting nothing

Kroenke is OK. Nasri will be sold. AW need to buy 3 top players for money they get. Jadson is on the way, Mata and Hazard are welcome, and most of all they will be happy to play for Arsenal!
My opinion is tha AW must buy Jan Verthoven from Ajax, and than Vermalen will play as left back.
Next year Cahill on free transfer!

Why would anyone including Sir Alex keep someone when all that player would do is dream about the double salary for next year when he is on the free. I trust AW but SK made the correct decision for the club. Who invest money and care not for profit? Forcing Nasri to play another year would only prove how arrogant the club is and nothing else. Intelligent to take the cash, replace the player with someone whose heart is set on winning trophies.

I am a diehard gooner but i can not see arsenal doing at all well this season because of this clown Kroenke. When we sell cesc and samir we will have about £57 million in the bank. Who will we buy? Noone of any class because the board want the money not a world class player. Why cant they see we need a world class GK, CB and center midfielder to even compete for the league. I fear dark times for arsenal untill we buy quality. Gooner for ever

I agree with Stan Kroenke on this because cashing in is the smartest thing to do since Nasri does not want to sign a new contract. Also, let’s be honest – most fans have turned against Nasri because of this whole debacle and him staying would not only result in a player who will not be willing to give 100% but will also unsettle the team.
However, what I DON’T agree with is IF they don’t reinvest the money from the sale(s) into QUALITY players. I read Arsenal have agreed terms to sign another kid – 19 year old Joel Campbell. Let’s hope they don’t end up leaving or being sold when they reach a high level after Arsenal helps them to develop. As for trophies, don’t count on it.

I’m confused, not just by this but by the complete lack of info on the Fabregas transfer.
I live in London and on the way home picked up two copies of The Evening Standard (a free newspaper printed at around 4pm in time for commuters’ journey home etc).
Anyway, first copy collected at around 5:50pm said that the transfer was still being discussed, and that Wenger’s comments were ‘As Clear As Mud’ (lol).
However, second copy seen when I got to my destination station (and obviously printed later) said that Fabregas has completed his move to Barcelona – that he has signed and it is a done-deal.
Where is the info about this? Can’t see anything online!

If Wenger had offered Nasri a contract extention mid way through last season, when Nasri wanted to sign we wouldn’t be in this position, Now we are here, Wenger wants to keep a unhappy player in Nasri and then lose him for nothing next season!! Don’t that show you Wenger has lost the plot??? Stan is right to sell now!! He should also sack Wenger ASAP and save the club!!

Not quite.
The difference is that the Glazer sons (and Gil) included Ferguson in the discussion back when it was time to move Ronaldo and maximize return. He had to understand economic realities and factor them into his transfer strategies. They let him make the decisions but within the framework of the available transfer pool. Sir Alex understands what he has to work with but he makes the decisions

I really feel for wenger on this one, he knew fab was gonna leave but he must of thought he had his ready made replacement with nasri starting to come good after 3 years of missfiring. Now he has to let them both go. Wenger is right to want to keep him and the board is right to make the best decision for the club allbeit a financialy motivated one.
I suggest if the board does feel the need to start involving themselves more with the actual running of the club they go straight over wengers head and buy either samba or cahill, with only four cbs and one of them being the squid, if injury strikes (which it will) and the squid comes in and cocks up (which is a given) then the poo storm that will ensue will make the recent london riots look like a local church cake sale!

Only two things can be derived from this message,
1) We need the money, Stan is looking at plugging all debts to be in line with the Fifa fair play rules,
OR
2) Its a scare tactic for Nasri to corner him into leaving his top club (Arsenal) for bottom feeders City. And he may end up signing a new contract since he would anyway have to compete and sit on the bench

Kroenke`s decision to sell Nasri was based on `commonsense`, any sane businessman would have done the same.

I agree with Stan Kroenke on selling a non-committed Nasri. It doesn’t make football or commercial sense. No player is bigger than Arsenal. The likes of Vieira and Henry left and nothing happened. My position remains that failure to win trophies is because Wenger pampers these boys and doesn’t instill in them the zeal to be “brutal” and win games. That is the difference between Ferguson and Wenger.
Money from Nasri could have bought Juan Mata if Nasri was immediately sold.

@lanz
the second half of his season was poor because he is nowhere near the finished article, his inconsistency has been the main theme of his career so far, wether it be for france us or marseile! hes a promising player nothing more, and also nasri is a selfish player who has a certain repatuere of tricks which when they work look great, but when they dont he has very little else to offer the team. why do you think his assists are so low? hes not a team player and other than his solo runs and goals he really gives the team little else! which is why hes so ineffective and frustrating when having an off day!!

Nasri already made it clear he wants to leave.Maybe that’s the best for the team, look what happened with Fabregas. one way or another,the team’s morale was down last season. they don’t have the mentality to win.maybe by bringing in new names the team could have new spirit.

Foolish. Kroenke cares about winning. He spends money on his American teams. He is a smart business man as well so if he feels that its best to make money off Nasri and find replacements then that is his opinion. Whoever posted this seems largely unfamiliar with Kroenke and is just speculating.

This is how i see how our team has/will change from last season
Gervinho for Nasri
Jenkinson for Eboue
Chamberlain for Emmanuel-Thomas
Campbell for Vela (loan out)
Miyaichi for Henderson (long term injured)
Traore for Clichy
Frimpong for Denilson
Mannone for Almunia
Afobe for Bendtner
Martinez for Lehmann
Coquelin for Eastmond (long term injured)
? for Fabregas
? for Miquel (loan out)
As much as people say we have not made many signings there could be 13 changes to the 31 players used last season, with up to 13 new arrivals. I think there will be 2 more arrivals that is all, a replacement for Cesc (Hazard or Jadson) and another CB (Mertesacker) allowing Miquel to go on loan with Squillaci becoming 5th choice. Personally i would sell Squillaci and loan out Miquel allowing us to buy Vertonghen and Mertesacker.

Selling Nasri makes sense for money and for the team. AW international squad always had a core of French or African Ligue 1 players and worked as long as France were highly competitive, now FIFA ranking fallen to low teens and his strategy is failing him because of that. Logic tells you to get a coach who builds core from top ranked nations. Spanish talent is only two clubs anyway so when AW is kicked upstairs at the end of the season, should be Dutch or German. E.g. Klopp of Dortmund who has emulated Arsenal compatible philosophy with a budget similar to mid-table BPL clubs. No need to pay over the top as long as you backing right nation for core players. Since Germany switched preference from power to pace and skill, country has a conveyor belt of exiting talent. Witness Mourinho’s shopping cart, Ghedira, Özil, Sahin, etc., he is flexible enough and got it, AW stuck with Ligue 1 scouts, which will be his demise. AW French signings since ranking of national side fell below England’s, all failed to make big impact or just flops, Chamakh, Squillaci, Koscielny, etc. Nasri border line but his development is dragged down by easy competition to win caps for France. Keep an extra eye on Bundesliga and Dutch league (Miyaichi played there so will have rubbed shoulders with tomorrow’s challengers of Dutch International glory).

‘wenger a coward’ don’t make me laugh. It seems every Arsenal fan and his aunt has got their knives out for Wenger at the moment, although I can truly understand and share the frustration at whats been going on at our club in recent times. I’m disgusted to see the fans wrath purely pointed at Wenger. What has the owner the chairman or anyone else on the board done to support him in football terms – absolutely nothing since the day dean was shown the door. He’s the most successful manger this club has ever had and he’s been loyal to the core and stuck by the club when any other manger would have upped sticks to real or the countless other clubs pursuing him at the time dean left and the club closed the check book. I wouldn’t blame him if he followed Nasri and Cesc’s lead and made a bee line for the exit door and headed strait to PSG. I’d bet you anything, they would fair a hell of a lot better than us in the trophy stakes and if we did do well I it would be bases on the remarkable core of talent he has brought and developed at this club… for instance he’s assembled Joel cambell, alex oxlade chamberlain, ryo, ramsey, wilshire and frimpong for a fair bit less than chelsea have shelled out for Lukaku. Not bad for the deluded old coward fans seem to take him for…

Kroenke should not have had to put his foot down concerning the £20m plus that Wenger and the Board was expecting to piss down the drain by letting Nasri run his contract down.

Not necessarily a great advert for Kroenke’s team passion there. Anthony had refused to sign a new contract (sounds familiar….) and the trade forced a very young team to pull together (familiar again…) and then come up short (and again….) largely due to Durant who Carmelo would have played serious minutes against and may have shut down. Also, the trade saw a very popular player cast aside (Billups) so the Kroenke’s could get their way. It was actually Josh Kroenke who had a hand in most of these affairs but it does suggest a greater concern for business than team welfare…..

The second press conference
The printed press in England had their own, customary session with Arsène Wenger after the first press conference I’ve described earlier. Here, the Arsenal manager reportedly opened up a bit more.
There will be no deal for Juan Mata of Valencia, Wenger maintained. A deal for Jadson of Brazil and Shakhtar Donetsk is ‘nowhere near’.
A new central defender will be available, he said, as Thomas Vermaelen hardly played last season.
For details, read for instance Richard Williams’ blog on the Guardian website, the award winning Henry Winter in the Daily Telegraph, or the more hostile Matt Barlow in the Daily Mail, who claim that Wenger’s press briefings were ‘full of contradicitions’. (I’d argue that the reporter in question might have misinterpreted something – see earlier blog.)
Still Barlow has perhaps the most acute angle to Wenger’s messages in both press conferences:
Perhaps it was a message for Valencia, Shakhtar, Everton and Bolton, all with players admired by Wenger who know Arsenal will soon be awash with new cash.
Another point has been made by the Daily Mirror reporter John Cross on Twitter: Wenger has categorically denied deals before, only to make them later. (How refreshing with a reporter who can back it up AND does it: check the links in the Tweet.)
Arsène Wenger himself made a point which is of major interest to me – as it’s the main reason I started this blog in the first place.
“If our fans go the way the media want them to go we have no chance. The people behind me and around the press box do not necessarily represent the majority of the fans.
“They are the ones you [journalists] hear the most but aren’t necessarily the majority. They make your opinion maybe but they aren’t necessarily the opinion.”
If we all believe every jot of what’s in the papers, we’ll never have a good night’s sleep again. But that doesn’t mean that everything the club says should be taken for Gospel.
I’ve been critical of Arsenal’s communication strategy this summer. There may well be some clever thinking behind Friday’s and earlier press briefings. But whatever strategy, if what you say isn’t believed, it’s failed.

Apologies for self indulgence in my own point , but the following is a quote from the Nuggets General Manager regarding Kroenke’s business (again about Josh but, like father like son?):
“We feel we got killed in the trade because we lost a couple of pretty good players,” Ujiri said. “Obviously, Carmelo Anthony. I feel sad for the city of Denver. I feel bad that this was done on my watch. To lose a guy like that. There’s no question about it. When I got home Monday night after agreeing to deal Anthony, I was just staring and watching ESPN and they’re showing all these highlights and game-winners by Anthony. And you wonder. We lost a superstar, and superstars are hard to find in this league and in any sport.”
If this is how the Kroenke’s deal with teams in sports they understand, it doesn’t bode too well does it. Oh well, atleast Arsene’s still around to take the blame!

Sell him simple as that. Take the money and reinvest it. If Kroenke is a smart man he will not make things complicated. Like I’ve said before Wenger is not a straight shooter anymore. Yes the knives are out yes people are calling him a coward because they are fed up and tired of listening to him speak his deluded riddles and excuses. And Kroenke now owns him he pays Wengers wages he ultimately makes the decision not Wenger. Sell that fake money hungry frog (Samir).

I dont think our potential downfall is all Wenger’s Fault,We should think outside the box and focus on the Financial Circumstances,what i mean is that the current Owner who is Kroenke doesnt seem to be investing much into the Squad or giving Wenger the ability to spend big,
Clearly Americans have no or have the 1st idea about Football and how it works,If Kroenke thinks that Arsenal is nothing but Business and is like an Ordinary American ‘Soccer’ or Football Team then he’s got another thing coming this Season.
This is just me taking into Consideration about what Ian Wright wrote on one of the Sunsport’s Column on Wednesday i believe.

How about you give us some money Kroenke? Or how about you say Wenger who do you want then go buy him and pay over the odds to bring in a good player. I like brining in hidden talent and such but would be nice to buy a big name player for once…

i’m tired of this Nasri thing, just let him go and reinvest the money back to buy good quality player. Our team is good but just need a little adding on player to make it better. it simple as that rather than wait the kid to mature and worthy champion. This is what M Utd has been doing for 20 year that’s why they are so dominant. Wenger dont be stubborn just buy 2-3 plyer that can change the game and it all be okay.

Fact is we should not be in this situation in the first place…loosing Nasri is AW fault! Selling now makes complete sense, the problem is that AW will have a media briefing to explain how they worked all night to find a “suitable” quality replacement but could not, i.e. they have 20 million and could not find a player willing to play for Arsenal…this is pure nonsense, but definately what we will be hearing! AW focus is clear, more kids as we hear of Cambell now!
