5 reasons why it is time to stop supporting Arsenal 

#4 Repeated mistakes regarding contracts

Robin van Persie tormented Arsenal after leaving the club

Arsenal are perhaps one of the few 'big clubs' in the world which is frequently in the midst of a high profile contract standoff and that is something that has gone on at the club over the past decade or so.

Starting from players like Alexander Hleb or Mathieu Flamini to top stars like Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, plenty of stars have gone on to move to other clubs and the club seems to have learnt nothing from those episodes.

The worst possible thing that Arsenal have been guilty of is the delay in renewing contracts and that cost them their star-forward Robin van Persie, who moved to Manchester United back in 2012.

At the time, Arsenal and Arsene Wenger allowed their star forward's contract to run down to the final year of the contract and then when Van Persie had the upper hand, he went.

That happened in 2012 and even in 2017-18, a reenactment of such a situation is being seen as the club's big stars Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez continue to play for the club despite the fact that their contracts are going to expire in a few months.

Arsenal did not sell them but any mature club would either have extended their contracts and upon refusal, sold those players to the highest bidder. The money would ideally have been used to bolster the squad but naturally, Arsenal have taken the destructive path and it is a wonder, that they still have supporters.
