Ian Wright says Arsenal agreeing to Amazon Prime series is ’embarrassing’

Ian Wright has let rip at Arsenal over their decision to allow Amazon Prime to film the All or Nothing series at the club, labelling it ’embarrassing’ for the fans.

The Gunners are the latest club to follow the trends of teams signing up with Amazon to deliver behind the scenes content. The likes of Spurs, Manchester City, and Crystal Palace have all featured so far.

But with Arsenal losing 2-0 to Brentford this weekend and issues remaining behind the scenes, Wright believes it is a bad call for Amazon to be in and around the club.

“We have this Amazon thing,” Wright said on Premier League Productions.

“Of course, they will be happy with it because there is so much controversy and so much negativity around it. But for Arsenal fans right now, it’s embarrassing for us. Embarrassing.”

The Gunners have endured a hugely frustrating summer. Despite promises of a huge overhaul, Edu and Arteta have managed to land only three players.

And with Friday’s defeat fresh in the memory, the last thing Arsenal fans want to see now is behind the scenes content at what is, essentially, a bit of a shambles.

TBR’s View: Wright is…..right?

This is nothing more than a way to make a few quid for Arsenal. Nothing more, nothing less.

Of course, Gunners fans and a lot neutrals will lap it up and watch it. It will be must-see TV, and be both amusing and concerning to watch, depending on who you support!

But Ian Wright does have a point here. The worrying thing is Mikel Arteta hasn’t even been consulted on it. He is the manager, yet the decision was made for him.

That in itself could say a lot about how things are being run.
