Approaching five years ago now, reported 'irreconcilable differences' spelled the end of David Dein's time with Arsenal. Since that day we have endured only dark times. His departure spelled the end of Thierry Henry's time with Arsenal, arguably our greatest ever player, claiming Dein's exit left him in no doubt that it was time to move on. Not only this, his departure nearly caused Arsenal's most successful manager to follow suit and abandon ship, Arsene Wenger. There is no question of the greatness of this man and no doubt that he is the person needed to take this club right to the top. He is the person behind such great signings as Ian Wright, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Marc Overmars, Emmanuel Petit, Robert Pires, Gilberto, Cesc Fabregas, Robin Van Persie and of course, Thierry Henry. Virtually every notable Arsenal star of the last 20 years! On top of this he is credited with bringing Wenger to the club. Having once put him forward for the job the board chose instead Bruce Rioch, who was dismissed after one mediocre season, before the board finally succumbed to Dein's suggestion and brought in Wenger to manage the club. Success followed. He is the perfect person to complement our fantastic manager and his return is essential!
If like Dein, your heart too is red and white, then i urge you to sign this petition, make the fans voices heard and bring Dein and the glory days back to Arsenal!
