That's because he is.
Why is Richard Arnold getting a free pass from the fans?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Panic quick fix buys incoming.
Neverending story
Neverending story
Just a fat man in a shirt and tie. He would be more comfortable at a Tory party fundraiser
These 2 idiots definitely learned everything they know about managing a club under Woodward. There can be no doubt about that now.
He should be sacking wasters like Murtough and Fletcher for a start. There's too much of an old boys club vibe at this club, where people get hired for who they know rather than what they know. There's also a lack of accountability for failure
He won't be going to any pubs anytime soon.
He WILL get glassed.
He WILL get glassed.
Fat sweaty cnut
Still stand by the prediction that he'll cover his own ass by sacking Murtough the moment the transfer window shuts.
Because he loves a drink with the fans.
As long as they can play in the style ETH wants, then 4 or 5 seemingly panic buys would be very good.
Think he'll be expecting to have to get a few rounds in this season.
So... Where's his house again?
Everything that is happening right now is Richard Arnold's responsibility. He's the CEO of this company. John Murtough is our Football Director because Richard Arnold is allowing it.
Nobody know who he is
Fu*ck them all, ain't nothing gonna change before Glazers are gone
Think he needs time - his position isn't much different to the manager in that he inherited an absolute crap fest. But he does need to act and force the issue.

Yep needs to go as he clearly has an ultimate aim of syphoning money from this great club into the glazer’s pockets. And that is all he is bothered with.
Murtough, Arnold, Woodward before - joke figures who shouldn't be at a football club because they know NOTHING about football. No ones giving them a free pass but they're Glazer employees - they're not going anwhere - they're doing a good job by not spending any money!
You won't, pal. It's time when they're sitting quiet and let another manager go through hell just before sacking.
He hired Murtough so i blame him for that
Look at the state of him. Does this look like someone who has been working tirelessly day and night? Seems like someone who has done nothing but sunbathe and eat everything he can get his hands on ever since he got the job.
i think the most troubling thing is that he’s clearly wearing some kind of fake tan or foundation.
He has until the window closes then he's in big trouble
He looks like an old prune that came out of trumps arse and this is the guy responsible at a club this size.

Agree. Fletcher especially. Murtough did some good things with the youth, but Fletcher is the luckiest bloke going, football wise.
His missus is going to get some fright when she opens the credit card bill. “You spent thirteen grand on pints down the Grapes? Who were you drinking with? Bryan Robson?”
He shouldn't. He's cut from the same cloth as those that came before him.
The Ballad of Richard The Lying-hearted
The CEO of our club
He was sat at a pub
A red-faced liar
Set our hearts afire
Claimed money to spend
But come August end
His lies laid bare
But he won’t care
With Murtough the Glum
A Glazers’ kisser of bum
They went to Barca city
Looking sheepish and shitty
All in on dear Frankie
Only to cry into a hanky
Our incompetent clowns
Causing us nought but frowns
A fat Glazer stooge
A modern day scrooge
He ate all the pies
And told many lies
With no love for United
Our club is blighted
Richard the Lying-hearted
Smells like he just farted

Well, he said money is not an issue and funds are available for the manager to sign players. Then fecking spend it! Don't talk BS in the pub for PR sake, walk the bloody talk. And need to be quick because we already threw away 6 points.
Those protestors at the start of the window were hired actors all along. Congratz to Arnold, he fooled everyone with cheapest trick.
I have zero confidence of him.
With that said, he's been the CEO since March and has been on record saying he's leaving the football side of things to Murtough (who has been DOF for a year and half).

Oh yeah we are utterly weak when it comes to moving on people with Utd connections
Should go now, same with Murtough
They are great sacrificial lambs though and a nice buffer for him. I can’t see him wanting to let that go for at least another year. He’s made it very clear nothing in the past or present is his fault.
If he did sack them he’d have to do something and replace them and then be accountable for it. Expect PR about needing time for things to work, then if it still fails he can blame it all on Woodward as he appointed them.
I feel that Murtough is getting all the shits. Arnold is the one in charge here. We used to make Woodward accountable. Arnold cannot just hide behind and push all the blame to Murtough.
He is the one appointed an incompetent DOF. He is ultimately in charge. Is it so difficult to appoint a DOF with real experience and track records?

Can't trust anyone with 2 first names.
Yeah recruitment is absolutely diabolical

I think a lot of people were sceptical of Arnold at first as he had been at the club for whole time though out the billion wasted and complete shambles of a structure.
Then that leaked footage came out, and a lot of us went ow ok this guy has his head screwed on.
Now though I think fans will turn on him again if he doesn’t take action and get rid of Murtough and get a proper recruitment and support team around Ten Hag.
