a back in 2004 arsenal did something, no other english club has achieved in over a 130 years. they became invincible. i may, the 15th 2000 full history have been made a li campaign with games 0, defeat a level and we will read them off the top of english football. felt like they were on their way to becoming one in europe. megan, i'm not going to stop here because the club getting bigger every year. but since then arsenal haven't one single premier league title. and off the years outside the

champions league in 2021, they failed to qualify for europe at all. what happened? how did also guide from invincible outsiders? let's start at the beginning. awesome venga arrived in 1996 and let the club to phenomenal success. in 1998, they won the league and cut double for the 1st time in almost 3 decades. then between the summers of 20012005 also became the most dominant thing in english book . i'm going to lead, sorry tools and 3, i think up wins in 4 years meant no one good match them for silverware. in that time, not even alex ferguson's matches to united life was good but

in football, nothing lasts including beloved stadiums. in 2002, austin received permission to build a new ground and ambitious move that would take them away from the iconic. hi barry . the reason was simple, matched a revenue, so ticket sales and so on was a massive financial factor. in the 20052006 season austin was lost at high bery much. they income accounted for about a 3rd of arsenal revenues. so building a big stadium sounds pretty smart, right? the problem was austell had to take on almost 400000000 pounds of debt to build emory stadium. a big number even now a crippling sum in those days. and long before the stadium was finished, the ground had already shifted beneath els faith arsenal. embarked on a project believing the football landscape was one way by the time that committed to that it had begun to change in a very considerable way of the arrival of roman of rhyme of richard chelsea was

a precursor suit to all of that, lou? yes, we have to talk about roman abramivitch pitched up across london in june 2003 and immediately sent about throwing cache around. so the some of the fog didn't, it's full season. chelsea had been around 10 players which custom over 100000000 years was a set size make feeling it that happened didn't attract the window and looking back i was like i heard enough was made with the arsenal. hierarchy like vice chairman david dean were rattled. there's a famous david dean quote about how when chelsea were looking to sign patrick the errand term. cheery on re the rama roman abram adventures parked is russian tanks on our lawn and he's firing 50 pound note shouted. chelsea never got the hands of

era or on rate that they did out, did arsenal on transfer, targets drive up fees and wages. and one year after the gunners went invincible, knock them off that hurt at the top of english football. and they knew who to thank . oh, just as also had weakened themselves financially. the premier leagues 1st billionaire foreign ownership. the timing had not been was in february 2000 eights, often were actually talk of the premier league until they rolled up to birmingham. first, a horror attack left strike edwardo with a broken leg. then after a last minute penalty cost them victory. captain william gallus lusted right in the middle of the pitch arsenals, phone collapse, and manchester united beat them to the title. i think what defined this whole era was 2008 to, to draw against banning him. we looked on cool to win the premier league that

season. it was a devastating match. what happened to it rather to silver and not match. and then there was the 2011 league cup final. when you see the way we can see the good of course you have regrets. birmingham again asked noah heavy favorites, but with the scores at $11.00 and the 89th minute and slapstick defending saw them concede, and another trophy slipped out of their grasp. oh, the fact that we lost it in these ridiculous circumstances. a mess up between the goalkeeper and i longed to shyly, central defender, all of those things just playing into the idea that the fates were conspiring against ourselves. no vinny, it's not a failure from the jaws of success, quite like oz no. and there were plenty more embarrassments. think about the 82 at old trafford and all you can think of is like remember when we went to old trafford

and won the title. why did it not become a dentist offing? the stadium money wasn't available in 2 years, we nearly lost the events sivilton. we were losing players every single year after that. and it wasn't a symptom minimal young. claire's not particularly expensive signings bringing players in banks selling them all and for quite a lot of money. yeah, i really did have an impact on, on the way that the the team was built, the kind of quality that arson bangor was able to bring in via the transfer market to make matters worse by the time also had paid off a good chunk of the stadium debt, other sources of income had boot. broadcasting, revenues exploded and commercial. earnings from sponsorship deals had overtaken, match day revenue. remember that was almost a 3rd of total revenues in 2006. in the last pre covered season, 201890. it was down to less than a quarter, despite the sum,

having more than doubled in that time. so basically, all those extra sates emerett stadium have been much less of an advantage than awful expected. still, by 2013 osman had money to play with again. music ursula arrived to usher in a new era and arsenal. finally won some silver way in the form of back to back if i cups while also maintaining consistent top full finishes ah, no pad but still not where they had been a decade earlier. in 2017 arsenal, missed out on champions league qualification for the 1st time in 20 years. that despite spending ridiculous money on players like granite, shakopee and flops got drama, stuffy and lucas perez the previous summer. a lot of the problems came before they even came in and, and i do think it's from the drop of every one else for seasons before you had

sanchez in us or who were declining and then you probably needed a few more talents. it the starts of a trend that so austin, throw fortune's quick fixes in the hope of getting back to europe's top table. the club went on to break their transfer record 3 times in just 2 years. and in the middle of all of up came the biggest change eval blue over the previous decade by bit much of the fan base had fallen out of love with us and venga, or at least with his management. some coal for his head during the trophy drown, others kept the fight from much longer bought despite yet another cup success in 2017, it seemed like venga, the man who had revolutionized english football, been left behind. thank as early success was built around a strict diet regime inside a knowledge of french talent and

a style of play that matched intense athleticism with technical brilliance and his football had developed. we had this man who was the manager of everything and that's not really the way it works in modern football. at that point you need structures, you needs recruitment specialists, you need or maybe a director of football. and he was always really opposed to that arsenal. still put together a few title challenges after that and finished 2nd in the league as late as 2016. but 2 years later, following back to back failures to reach the champions, lee austell decided it was time to pop wise. after almost 22 years, the club said, are of well to us and venga were gone. barbara. problems of angus successes was at the clubs, plans in the change every 5 minutes or chief executive ivan kazitis had brought in figures like diamonds,

former chief scout spend missile, and todd and barcelona executive rouse. i hate to give arsenal a dream team with, but he's on every level. but the way things works out was less avengers, assemble and more. royal rumble, kizzy to swiftly followed venga, routed to the door to join icy milan and the power struggle that followed innovative ms. lindsey was outmaneuvered by the slick sony cuz he just left immediately. sonya he ousted missile inter. now you have a guy who's basically a marketing guy for nike who ended up a barcelona is running the football club. i mean that's, that's crazy stuff often were acting like a champions. league addict, needing effects, jumping on any solution they thought might get them back into the big time. ever play texas. so you ever get to like 2 thirds of the way up and you're like, oh my god, you've got no time to think that you're desperately trying to find the piece that

will fit to get rid of all the bits of i make everything good. and that's what they did in terms of the people die hard. the players they signed to the coach that they brought in. and it was all very touch. what was bits and bulbs just throwing perfectly money driven and not to locked in sense way. could they go from here? sometimes you have to hit rock button before things get better. unfortunately, cause for optimism was right that waiting for them. the chi osaka and, and they'll smith road, the 2 young stars, straight out of arsenals. hale and academy burst on to the scene about a year apart and revitalized the club. they helped to reconnect the teen with a fan base that had long felt disenchanted. whoa! yeah. football has changed him wise arsenal. couldn't have seen coming, and no doubt it will again, then almost certainly never have another invincible season. but at least they found

their way back to a strategy that fits the clubs identity. and if they keep planning for the future, one day they'll be contented again. ah, what's making the headlights and what's behind them? dw news africa. the show that the issues have been the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally on the street to give you enough reports and insights. our correspondence is on the ground reporting from across the continent, all the trend stuff, the mazda to you next, on dw, the 77 percent. how to be young and successful, just doing me and it is what it is. his african stoner isn't on impressing the world, i believe we asked length. wow,
