Arsenal’s recruitment has been poor for more than 10 years now, according to Tony Adams.
Tony believes the mismanagement of cash in the pursuit of players at the London club has been nothing short of depressing.
According to him, it might take a while before the club will get it right with several terrible decisions they keep making on the pitch and off it.
He added that signing players through agents will never be the right way to build.
His words, “It’s been bloody depressing the last 10 years.
“All us Arsenal fans are like: ‘Oh my God, we concede so many goals’ — going from the extreme that we were so fantastic in that department to what we’ve been seeing.
“The main problem has been recruitment. It’s been very poor.
“And I don’t think running with agents is the way to do it.
“Seventeen backroom staff have gone, six scouts gone. Stevie Morrow, probably the best academy scout in the country, has been sacked.
“Bringing in players through agents is not how I would build.”
“I think he has so much identification with me because he was probably an addict,”
“He couldn’t let go at the end, he’s a typical addict.
“He’s completely obsessed with the game, every single minute. It maybe cost him relationships and other stuff and I think it cost him his job by not being able to let go.
“I think the legacy could have been different. I honestly feel he needed to be more open and needed more winners around him.”
