Just wanted to put this out there.

Dear Arsenal fans, it is possible that your club will be taken over very soon by the Qataris, who have made deep connections into European football and into the very edifice of Arsenal football club.

Along the lines of this takeover,

the invaders will need a narrative, a storyline, a fairytale that will immediately endear them to the public and paint them as the forces of good. Honest club servants will take the fall. One-sided stories will be told and history will be aligned with oil.

Do not rejoice yet.

The influence of the Qataris may already be inside current events. From the media to historical club figures, pressure is being slowly and surely applied.

It is a meta narrative. A story that involves one of the wealthiest American families in the way of a global sportwashing

project.

Let it be clear: the Qataris are not buying whole clubs for trophies, even though they may naturally enjoy football. The clubs are not toys and the money must definitely return back to them in another currency: a positive image in the global eye. Right now as we speak,

thousands of black and Asian underprivileged laborers are sweating and dying in Qatari deserts, their bodies covered by the sand in the morning, building the tools of the greatest sportwashing project ever, a beast above the Roman Colosseum.

This is what Arsenal is involved in.

Arsenal will be their greatest capture, a club of enormously historical proportions and global resonance. If they can capture the Arsenal, then they can capture the heart of the world.

And do not rejoice, yet. For to the rich, everything serves a purpose. Everything is utility.

Once Arsenal serves their purpose, behold the blackness.

Whatever the rich has used and discarded, the world discards.

You may some of the blackness in the treatment of Valencia by their Singaporean owners who simply no longer care about the club.

Arsenal is a heirloom. This institution is meant to be passed down across the years and enjoyed by generations. Some may have it plain and some may have it glorious but all shall have it.

Should we be the generation that, in the pursuit of glory, overdose our precious club in a

game of geopolitical conflict, international money laundering and propaganda among nations?

Shall we, for the promise of a trophy we have already lifted 13 times, sell our souls to private and unchecked political ambition?

Yes, for the shortwhile, glory will come.

Indeed, it shall. But will your children and our children's children be a part of the Arsenal?

Arsenal is a heirloom. Arsenal is family. Family protects themselves. Family does not sell out. Family keeps going through tough times. Family is meant to be family, not politics.

If you think just a little further, maybe you will realize the issues. Short term profits over sustainability across decades.

Everything banks on the speed with which we return to competitiveness. Everything rests on Arteta. If he fails, we fail with him.

And down we go.

The Kroenkes after all have no meta interest. They are not using Arsenal Football Club as pawn in a global conflict. They just want to be stewards of a great family heirloom like the Hillswoods and Bracewell-Smiths.

If things go too bad, they will sell. Qatar knows that.
