better than Pep imo

Dude....Claude died

That’s wassup

he didn't do a very good job then as Claude and Heavy D died, DT ended up in prison and Troopz left for America. pretty bad manager in my regards. Should have saw what was going on with his employees and got them help.

Robbie was the one that allowed all the offensive and disrespectful abuse towards Mr Wenger by his fan tv, aftv crew. For a man that helped to set arsenal fc on top internationally, the most successful manager of Arsenal FC. he deserved better and for bossie robbie to allow this man and his family to be abused in such a disgraceful manner by your aftv, you have a lot to answer for, time is longer than rope and time is the master, so i would advice you to REPENT so your present success can be a blessing.

He was booted out because of his unwarranted inflammatory accusations and insults to ward people he’s been working with for a while in regard to the Chanel not wanting to put the Palestine issue at the centre of their channel, but he was free to continue to support it and talk about it on the channel. The problem was he wanted everyone to also talk bout it , which Robbie decided he wasn’t going to make that a channel Policy , rightly so. It’s a business after all . The problem with Palestinian supporter , especially Arabs Muslims they always want to bring religion into it instead of it being just a human right issue , the issue that has been going on for years and years now mind you even some arab states aren’t even pro Palestine anymore . So if Robbie decided to not make it an issue on the channel and you decide to go on a rant of insults than I don’t see what choice he had .
