How a man with no football experience came to run Arsenal : Gunners

Winning football matches is an outcome of a dozen different things the club does, all of which build up to putting out a strong squad with a good manager.

Without sound financial and business planning, you don’t get the money to play at the top table. Without any risk planning, something like COVID turns from being a kick in the teeth to an extinction event.

Vinai has football experience, on the basis he’s worked at the top level of a football club for nearly 10 years. I’d say that counts. He understands us as a business, and he understands the context in which we operate.

There are many, many reasons to question whether he is the best candidate for the job, but reducing it to “lol look he has no experience in football” is wrong.
