Arsenal Hire Richard Garlick To Replace Huss Fahmy

[Yousif Arsenal]

One of Ivan old pals. This bald never did a good thing at club even before he leave. Don't understand how you hire a guy never worked in football before

 

[roz]

I remember saying this guy should have been fired ages ago. People were telling me he’d done a good job.

50 pens next season pls

Huss replaced by Garlick. Sauce:

 

[SA Gunner]

Who TF is Richard Garlick?

 

[Jack_the_boy]

Makes sense. Edu couldn’t be relied upon for contract negotiations.

Fails the first name test for me.

A few words from my friends at The Athletic if you're wondering who he is:

Director of football Richard Garlick will leave the Premier League to become Arsenal’s new director of football operations, David Ornstein can reveal.

The Athletic understands Garlick will leave later this year, having first taken up a role with the division in summer 2018.

He succeeds Huss Fahmy in the position and will work closely with Edu.

Who is Richard Garlick?
Garlick is the director of football at the Premier League. In his role, he has the task of overseeing football operations, football relations, youth development, coaching and young player education.



He was previously director of football administration at West Brom and prior to that worked at a number of law firms

before moving into football administration.



He is a qualified solicitor specialising in sports law.

What will his role be at Arsenal?
He will work closely with Edu and takes the position previously held by Huss Fahmy.



His background in law is part of what Arsenal were looking for from their new director of football operations.



Garlick will be expected to work on contracts at the Emirates Stadium.



More to follow.

Very highly qualified, DOF at the premier league, cant go wrong with that tbh.

 

[DanDare]

This guy sounds way more credentialled than Huss Fahmy. Think he'll take up a big role in the club, more than just a contract negotiator.

What I was thinking tbh.

 

[SA Gunner]

So what does this mean for a Rangnick or Campos?

 

[Jasard]

The more help Edu gets the better, staff seems bare bones at the moment.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Seem very experienced and worked in many departments so pretty sure he'll be better than huss

 

[HairSprayGooners]

What I was thinking tbh.

He'll know the premier league inside and out, sounds good to me.

 

[Riou]

Fails the first name test for me.

**** Garlick :rofl:

It means we were never getting them because we aren't firing Edu

 

[Bloodbather]

So what does this mean for a Rangnick or Campos?

Probably not much, from what I've read this guy is being hired as a contract negotiator.

It's still very unlikely that we hire either, though.
