Man City 3-2 RB Leipzig: Holders survive scare after going in 2-0 down at half-time as Julian Alvarez... Dein believed that English football was falling behind other European leagues and was not embracing a forward-looking plan to improve. He saw Wenger as the man to help push Arsenal forward embracing new methods to achieve this. Dein also believed that Wenger would change Arsenal's style of play which was seen as dogmatic and one-dimensional to one based on technique and speed more attuned with the approach adopted by teams from the continent.

Now sanctioned in the aftermath of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, Usmanov – often referred to as Putin’s favourite oligarch – would have been a disastrous owner for Arsenal had he been able to gain control. Did Dein make a mistake in selling to him? “Not at the time,” he says. “We are all clever with hindsight. You are looking now. When I sold my shares in 2007, I gave Kroenke first option. He was my preferred buyer. Quite frankly he didn’t offer me what I thought the shares were worth. He openly said to me ‘If you think you can do better you must do so, David’. I said, ‘Okay fine’. The next thing is Usmanov appeared. Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg reveals the ONE weakness he thinks Arsene Wenger's Invincibles had as he admits Champions League regret Dein also helped obtain Arsenal's entry into the G-14 group of major European football clubs in 2002, and became President of the G-14 in October 2006. A keen promoter of women's football, he was also President of Arsenal Ladies Football Club, the most successful English women's football team, while Arsenal vice-chairman.

They got a tip-off that The Sun was about to run a story that Sven met Chelsea’s chief executive Peter Kenyon to discuss becoming their manager. Seriously? Where’s the loyalty? I went to Sven’s house in Regent’s Park, north London, to find sheer pandemonium outside with reporters and TV crews; you could hardly move. Celtic fans are goaded with racist and sectarian banners by Lazio's ultras during Champions League clash in... Jamie Vardy PUNCHES HIMSELF in the face in frustration after missing a sitter in Leicester's game with Watford... before the striker redeems himself I know the players aren't happy. I know Thierry Henry's not happy. We're talking about a man [David Dein] who goes into the dressing room after every single game, shakes every player by the hand and who knows all the youth team players."

Dein and his wife Barbara were “ostracised” on away trips in Europe. He believed there was jealousy at his profile as the corporate face of Arsenal. Most of all there was disharmony on how they would fund a new stadium. Chelsea a long 8/1 to sign Victor Osimhen despite London club reportedly making the disgruntled Napoli striker their primary target
