# Arsenal: Fans left unhappy after reports over financial situation

**Arsenal fans have been left unhappy with the club after reports over the side’s financial situation emerged.**

[According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein](https://theathletic.com/podcast/144-the-ornstein-and-chapman-podcast/), the club aren’t able to spend big on a new manager and are looking at hiring a man who can start immediately.

[The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7749093/Arsenal-struggling-afford-Europes-elite-coaches-forced-appoint-Freddie-Ljungberg.html) have reported something similar, claiming that the club’s hunt for a new manager is being ‘hindered’ by a limited budget.

Their managerial pursuit seems to be taking a turn for the worst after reports over the future of Mauricio Pochettino and Brendan Rodgers.

[According to the Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-news-mauricio-pochettino-17352916?kop), the Argentine coach is eyeing the hot seat at Manchester United. Meanwhile, [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-set-miss-out-no1-21016505) are reporting that the club are set to miss out on the number one target, Rodgers.

The last time the club were reported to have had a lack of finances the Gunners surprised fans with the signing of [£72m Nicolas Pepe](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49137976).

Fans were less than pleased after the reports over their financial situation while chasing a new manager as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
