Breaking News: The club has been damaged by Mikel Arteta’s impassioned VAR outburst.

Upon emotionally accepting a defeat that had been earned, the former vice-chairman was disheartened.

According to former Arsenal chief David Dein, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s incorrect tirade regarding VAR has impaired “the club’s reputation.”

On November 4, following Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle, Arteta criticized officials. The sole goal of the match, which was scored by Anthony Gordon, withstood three separate VAR reviews. The manager subsequently criticized the goal’s award, describing it as a “disgrace” and “embarrassing” decision, and insisted that the Gunners deserved to win.

The manager continued by expressing his “ashamed” status as a Premier League employee, a sentiment echoed by Arsenal in a statement the following day. As a result of the charges filed by the Football Association against Arteta for his outburst, the manager will be sidelined.

Dein told talkSPORT that he would not have defended Arteta if he were still a member of the club. However, such is the nature of the game; these things occur; it’s unfortunate, but one must live and learn.”

When asked whether he would have cautioned Arteta regarding his conduct, Dein responded, “Most likely.” However, you must avoid undermining the manager as well. Because he believed that the decisions went against him in the heat of the moment, the manager was incensed; I was present at the Newcastle game that night.

“Ultimately, I believe it was a bit of a misdirection, as 101 minutes were played in total, with eight minutes added in the second half and three minutes added in the first.” In 101 minutes of football, we managed only one attempt on goal; therefore, the squad did not merit the victory. That is precisely the nutshell of it.

“There is an established protocol for handling such circumstances; however, I believe it was slightly superfluous.” “It did not assist the club’s image, in my opinion.”

Conversely, Dein lauded Arteta’s performance at the club, commending his ability to unite the fanbase following what appeared to be years of turmoil during Arsene Wenger’s tenure and Unai Emery’s challenges.

“I believe they’re performing admirably under Mikel’s leadership; I believe there’s a newfound energy there; it’s clear that the crowd has caught on,” he further stated.

“A previously unseen buzz has developed around the location, and it consists of four letters: hope.”

“You can see that the team has a few things going in their favor; I believe there is something positive; Arsenal is currently experiencing something of a renaissance.”
