Arsenal are run in an exemplary way, according to Moneyball pioneer Billy Beane.
While working with the Oakland Athletics baseball club, the American gained notoriety for using mathematics to spend less money compared to the bigger Major League clubs, for which he was successful.
The Gunners have not won the league title since 2004 and they've copped plenty of flak over the last decade for not spending enough money compared to their rivals, but Beane believes they're an 'admirable' club.
Beane said: "There are some decisions in sport that cost a lot of money, that are good decisions. Having a lot of money gives you access to very good decisions.
"Michael Jordan was worth a lot more money than he was paid by Chicago Bulls even though he earned a lot of money. It's the same thing in football — there are a lot of great footballers who are worth three times their earnings despite the fact people think they are making a lot of money.
"Having the resources, we always said, the challenge is you want enough money to make good decisions, there's a lot of public pressure when you do have a big club and a big business. Sometimes you have enough money to make bad decisions.
"I won't go deep into it but I'm a huge fan of the Arsenal football club, because I think it's a really [good example], from the football field to the way it's been run, the stadium and everything, to me it's an admirable football club. It's a football entity when all's said and done."
There is currently a power struggle at Arsenal between majority stakeholder Stan Kroenke and challenger Alisher Usmanov.
