What if Jay-Z had bought Arsenal in 2010?

If Blackburn Signed Zidane

Available for over a year

In 2010 Jay-Z expressed his interest in buying Arsenal. He was an admirer of Thierry Henry and had followed the club ever since. The move never materialised and a year later, the Kroenkes moved in to become the majority shareholder of Arsenal. But what if Jay-Z had swooped in? Would Arsenal's trophy drought end earlier? How does the takeover affect the culture at the club? Does Jay-Z bring Thierry Henry back to Arsenal? As always Specs has all the answers inside the world of his imagination. Host: Specs Gonzalez Co-host: Tego Sigel Produced by: Alpha Barrie. A Folding Pocket production for BBC Sounds.
