TONY ADAMS DENIED A PLACE ON THE ARSENAL BOARD.

TONY ADAMS DENIED A PLACE ON THE ARSENAL BOARD.

Hi Gooners, hope everyone is well.

As reported in the sun on Sunday our most successful captain was denied a place on the board and was surprised that instead the club appointed Sir Chips Keswick as the chairman.
It seems the Arsenal board which consists of Ivan Garzidis, Lord Harris, Kenny Frair, Stan Kroenke and newly appointed chairman Sir chips Keswick do not want anyone on the board who is so demanding for the club to succeed no matter what the situation at the club is because I believe Tony Adams is that kind of person.

It is amazing that the club has very much tried to snub Tony Adams a man who is Arsenal all through, a man who has a statue outside of the stadium alongside other greats like Herbert Chapman and Thierry Henry plus the newly announced Dennis Bergkamp.
The club appointed Freddie Ljungberg as ambassador who is by no doubt a great man and well deserved to be but such a thing has never happened to Tony Adams aka Mr. Arsenal as often called despite his publicized desire to work with the club.
As he said, he does not want the money but to serve the club and make sure it goes back to its glory days of winning things which a great club like Arsenal is supposed to be doing.


Tony Adams signs off with a double in 2002. Him and Seaman with the PL trophy in 1998.

Some fans do not want him to be the chairman a strong member on the board perhaps because of some of their opinions which I respect but a man of his stature should be serving the club of his life by now at 46, he sat with former chairman Peter Hill-Wood and informed him of his desire to serve the club but seems Mr Hill-Wood just snubbed him and later said in an interview that they have failed to get a young man who is not money oriented to be on the board as a way of injecting in young blood yet Adams had told him before and was never money oriented.

Adams should be on the board by now as he requested, he would help the club in many ways because he knows everything about the club and its the club he loves to be among the best not just sit when the club is slipping to mediocrity and he is not a yes man who will just let everything said by the old guards  on the board pass. He is a football man and on top of that an Arsenal man.
We should start with him if we are to build a dynasty the former players at Bayern have built which everyone admires now.

Its elusive why the club has until now refused to allow him serve the club where he is a legend or they want him to be like Patrick Vieira who went on to serve Man City despite of the fact that he is the man who took over from Adams as Arsenal captain and led the team to the 2003-04 unbeaten Premier League triumph after Adams retirement.

Till then
