5 reasons why it is time to stop supporting Arsenal 

#2 The club has been hijacked by one man

Last season's protests against Arsene Wenger fell on deaf ears

Now, it is a well-known fact that everything at the club is controlled by the club's manager Arsene Wenger and although that might have been a natural state of affairs a decade ago, it has now proven to be something that is holding the club back.

When Arsenal moved stadiums, Wenger stayed back despite offers from clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and following the ouster of executive David Dein, he became the most powerful person at the club, besides the owner.

However, he is no longer the manager that he used to be and yet, he continued to hold on to the sort of power that even far more successful managers could only dream of.

From transfers to training, and even the appointments of key personnel in the club are often greenlit by Wenger. So, in a way, one of England's biggest clubs has been hijacked by one man and is governed according to his whims, however ineffective.

Last year, it seemed that he would finally go, after widespread protests by fans, but Wenger actually signed a new two-year contract and this year, Arsenal are again staring at another finish outside the top 4.

The club does not seem to care about the performances, the state of the club or the opinion of fans despite repeated failures under Wenger. That is because the club now seems to be one man's ego-massaging project and it is quite clear, that fans are not important despite the protests they carried out last season.
