I still haven’t processed any of this whatsoever. Had already reached a point where I was no longer really watching any non-Arsenal games and this might be the final nail in the coffin for me with football. Arsenal as a club is now so far removed from the one I fell in love with, the badge and name is basically all that remains.
Even ignoring all the other issues and looking only at Arsenal, we’re going to likely be finishing bottom three every year with no incentive to improve or invest heavily since we can’t be relegated. At least when you support a team fighting relegation and expect to lose most weeks, you get the odd result and it’s huge, you get a massive three points to take you further from the drop. Otherwise, you go down and then watch your team fight the next year to win the league or gain promotion. With this setup, we’d lose most weeks and the odd win would feel pretty empty. Yes we’ll play big teams all the time but how long would it take for that novelty to wear off? I just feel that it would be season over before it starts every single year, why bother even watching the games?
I’m maybe misunderstanding a lot of the plans but in any case am very disappointed in the club.
