Arsenal<\/a> director Lady Bracewell-Smith has launched a furious attack on the club’s current board by stating they should be sacked for failing to take the Gunners forward.<\/p>\nBracewell-Smith sold\u00a0 her 15.9 per cent holding to Stan Kroenke in April 2011, and upset at the lck of progress seen at the Emirates in recent years.<\/p>\n
“I agree that the current board should all go,” Bracewell-Smith ranted on Twitter.<\/p>\n
“They are passe. Have nothing more to give to the club at all.<\/p>\n
“In time we will need a more dynamic pro-active younger board, and a good directional leadership.”<\/p>\n
The current board comprises of Kroenke, chairman Peter Hill-Wood, chief executive Ivan Gazidis and directors Ken Friar, Sir Chips Keswick, Lord Harris of Peckham.<\/p>\n
Bracewell-Smith added: “In time we will need a more dynamic pro-active younger board, and a good directional leadership.”<\/p>\n
When questioned as to why she was sacked from the board she responded: “They couldn’t handle a woman with power on the board. Felt insecure. Male chauvinism.”<\/p>\n
The former board member also responded to calls from fans for the return of David Dein, linked to Usmanov’s Red & White Holdings group, by claiming he was “the root cause of all the troubles at AFC” and was “unable to work with other board members”.<\/p>\n
Although she later clarified: “Dein loves the club and although sometimes personalities fall out, his contribution at Arsenal has been immense.\u201d\ufeff<\/p>\n
