Thierry Henry admits he doesn’t know who’s in charge at Arsenal
Arsenal's power structure is the subject of some confusion and much debate and it seems even the club’s greatest ever player is baffled.
Thierry Henry has admitted not even he is sure who is in total command of the Premier League club.
The confusion comes at a time when there is much uncertainty around the Emirates. Arsene Wenger’s contract expires in the summer, star players Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez might depart and fans are growing increasingly frustrated at a perceived lack of success.
But determining who is ultimately responsible is tough. Wenger wields a lot of power, American Stan Kroenke is the majority shareholder but virtually never speaks publicly and Russian-Uzbek Alisher Usmanov owns around 30.05% of the club.

Gary Neville tried to get to the bottom of who was calling the shots.
‘Who is the decision maker here at Arsenal?’ asked the former Manchester United captain on Sky Sports.
‘Arsene has been for a long time,’ Niall Quinn responded.
‘But what about in the boardroom?’ Neville persisted.
Henry replied: ‘Before in my time Mr [David] Dein was the man. Now I’m a bit too far away to find out who it is. I don’t know who is in total command. I’m not sitting on the board obviously.’
