True. I see people worried about Arsenal always seeming to do business with Raul and Edu's buddy Kia Joorabchian, who also happens to be Willian's agent.

If this is the way the club wants to go, I'm all for it, but they just have egg on their face from saying the players taking a pay cut would save these people their job and then they fire them 3 days after the FA Cup win.

I see it from the perspective that the club tried everything they could to keep these employees in a job before finally having to cut ties rather than them pulling a fast one on them.

Back in April when the club announced that Arteta and the players willingly took a 12.5% cut, they didn’t know the longevity with which this would last. At that time they likely thought they’d be able to recover normal revenues by the beginning of the 20-21 season and now that’s not happening.

Arsenal also promised the players and coaches that they’d repay the 12.5% if the club were to meet specific targets. It could be that the FA Cup win forced Arsenal to have to pay out additional $$$ to the group.

There’s a lot that we probably don’t know about.
