Nina Bracewell-Smith sided against David Dein when he tried to convince the board to operate a different financial model over a decade ago. That decision affected our operation in the transfer market. It also meant the stadium loan would be repaid aggressively and over a short period of time. It meant that the share-price, including the shares that were greatly expanded by her late husband rose dramatically in value and made of her a millionaire several times over.

Now, Lady Nina was a direct beneficiary of the cost controls and austerity that the club effectively had to have between 2002 and now. I find her comments hypocritical as a result. One thing I cannot understand is what benefit she has from speaking now. Unless we are going to have one of those rags to riches autobiographies with a tapestry of interesting angles about a modest woman who bagged a millionaire much her senior, and entered the boardroom at Arsenal.
LOL,.. but to her defense, isn't this prolly why "she took the money and ran?" She clearly might have recognized her past decisions affected the way the club was competing and so she parted. She was handing over the keys to someone she thought would do a better job than the mess she supported. So perhaps this lone response from her is quite interesting given the timing..
The timing simply shows that journalists are scraping the bottom of the barrel to trawl up controversial quotes. What is interesting about that?

I don't see how the media is "scraping the bottom..." - we definitely are either struggling to sign quality players or cheating fans into thinking we are at last willing to do something in terms of reinforcement.

I don't see how that is significant, unless you just think another negative comment all points to what you have already decided to be the case anyway.
