Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry has come out to say that he doesn’t recognize his former club anymore. This is coming after the London club’s recent involvement in the Super League fiasco.
According to him, the Gunners partaking in such scheme doesn’t make any sense to him, and it is clear that the owners have been running the club like a company, not a football club.
He added that it might’ve been a lack of understanding of the core football value, or maybe the money was too big of a temptation, but it was wrong all the same.
His words, “I do not recognise my club and what happened just now, with them trying to join a league that would have been closed, makes no sense to me.”
“They have been running the club like a company, not a football club, and they showed their hand.”
“Maybe it’s a lack of understanding of the core football values and maybe the money was too big of a temptation. Whatever it was, they got it wrong. Badly wrong.”
“I was genuinely shocked like most people and couldn’t believe what was unfolding. I have never talked before, but what happened recently made me realise fans, this is your club. It is your club and I’m an Arsenal fan too.”
“I’m proud of what the fans achieved. Not just Arsenal fans, all the fans. The result was a victory for football.”
