When the European Super League emerged as the potential future of football for the whole of the continent the reaction was unprecedented. Arsenal were among a number of teams to commit themselves to the cause but in a matter of days had backed out.
Now, Arsenal seemingly will have to face the same process again as new proposals from A22 Sports Management, the company promoting the revamped European League. Josh Kroenke had to face supporters with scathing questions and has made his point on the situation clear.
The Gunners' manager, however, has already pointed at the club’s greatest asset - its fans - regarding how it should act. When the initial suggestion of a club-run Super League was discussed Arteta distanced himself and claimed he was not in possession of all the information to state his public opinion on it.
