PROOF that the Arsenal Board have no ambition!
I am finding it very hard to come to terms with the fact that one of the top men on the board of Arsenal football Club is not bothered whether Arsenal qualify for the Champions League or not, and I am shocked by the implications of Peter Hill-Wood’s words.
Most Arsenal fans are aware that the reason Arsenal isn’t in the Top Four is because we have lost many of our best players over the last few seasons and replaced them with inferior models, but Peter Hill-Wood is not worried as it won’t affect the budget.
Hill-Wood said: “From a financial point of view, not qualifying for the Champions League is quite a blow.
“We have been planning for not qualifying every year, so it is not a disaster, but it would be nice if we could.”
If I was running a team that had never finished outside the Top Four in 15 years, I would be extremely worried about how this might affect income, sponsorship deals, TV Revenue, attendance levels, etc, and would be keen to act to remedy the situation. That is what Directors are supposed to do.
But he doesn’t seem bothered. So we can NOT expect a massive investment to try and stop the rot and protect income levels, we can expect the more of absolutely nothing! Maybe one less biscuit with their tea at board meetings……
I find that very sad.

One of the biggest idiots i’ve seen at this club.
Just read these lines again “We have been planning for not qualifying every year, so it is not a disaster, but it would be nice if we could.” – It sounds like qualifying for the CL is a bonus as if Arsenal were some mid-table team that came into the CL fold through miracles. The reality is Arsenal were top two for most of the early part of the decade and then dropped to top 4 and now further drifting away to top 6. This idiot PHW should be sacked. He personifies all the problems associated with Arsenal.
Not qualifying for a CL spot is a blow only for financial reasons according to this muck but what about the footballing aspect of running a club? Where is the ambition. Unless Arsenal get rid of such obsolete creatures who have tentacles of rapacity the club will drift further away from the top.

For me this has just summed it all up. Questions have been asked, is it wenger refusing to buy or is it due to the board. Hillwood has confirmed it is the board, however wenger has clearly become a weak yes man or worse still agrees with the board. I don’t think wenger going will make a difference to be honest it is the board who should be got rid of and then see what wenger does. But how hard is it to get rid of kronke and the board, I would say almost impossible. Biggest transfer we could do this year is getting dein back. I am truly saddened by what is going on. Teams around us getting stronger, we are getting weaker, top 4! We will be lucky to get top 6!

Guys imagine if the same was said at Man United or Chelsea, or any other club for that matter. PEOPLE WOULD GET HURT. Seriously, the fans of other clubs wouldn’t take this amount of BS. I am actually gob smacked at how complacent all these twats on the board and Wenger just to sit there and milk the club?? I was against protests at one stage, but it has gotten to a stage now where we can see clear as day that the board and ’3 bags full sir’ Wenger just do not give a rats ass about Arsenal anymore. If I was in England, I would be the first to take banners to games telling them to piss off. Honestly, us fans have shown our loyalty especially the last 7 trophy less seasons, and we will continue to do so, but part of that loyalty is doing what’s needed to be done to get Arsenal back to the way it was. And that is by protesting and causing as much of a sh*t storm as we can. The media need to know the Arsenal board are a greedy bunch of snakes and I want them to have a field day with it. One way to hurt their pockets is to first attack their pride and integrity (or lack there of.) Ban together gunners, it’s time for a revolution.

A third family generation chairman of Arsenal Hill-Wood is and he’s saying things this. His banking background certainly shines through; “as long as I’m running at a profit and taking home my bonuses for doing such, I don’t give a toss about anyone or anything else”. Fucking pathetic. The people in charge of Arsenal and the things they say truly make my blood boil. Spurs must be loving life; being the most competitive they’ve been in fifty years and Arsenal not giving a stuff where they finish as long as they turn a profit. Sorry to say lads, but mid table mediocrity will not be rewarded with profits in the future. Disgusting.

Dont buy tickets for arsenal matches. Dont give any chance to the AFC management to make profit. They are just font of money. Dirty greedy creatures. Don’t help them to raise their balance sheet. Boycott AFC until the board get sacked and new experienced players like hazard, krkic, cissokko, pedolsky, chellieni etc get purchased…

This post only reinforces my comments on the article entitled:
“Arsenal legend sign up for new indian league”
There not much we can do, just sit watch and be frustrated. This once great club is being taken for a ride by people who’s only concern is making money. The club is seen as a business and not as a football club. The main aim is to make money, not to be successful in football.
These comments do not relate to the players we sign, but the comments made in recent months by the board. I do not believe Wenger shares this opinion, but is forced to by the lack of ambition by the club’s owners and board. He and the players are trapped by people no ambitions inside the footballing world.

By the way, Wenger has become a ‘Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir” man because he’s on 6m a year. Good move from the board, pay Wenger two or three mill more a year and we’ll save on not having to buy good players. We’ll just be young, cheap and stupid – at least it will look like we’re trying… Greedy mugs.

A few seasons ago many supporters were predicting our club would end up being run as a business and the trophy cabinet would run dry and dusty.
Well Lo and Behold we are are at that stage already but the problem is we still have supporters that think we are doing fine and running the club in a good way financially will pay dividends in the long run.
Well it probably will but it will only pay the shareholders.
If we look at Kroenke’s other investments in sport you will notice zero expenses so things will not get better on the pitch people but it will in the bank for those greedy bastards.
I think the time has come for us gooners to be heard but that does not mean boycotting the games.
We should turn up with banners and start getting the message over that we want the yank and Gazidis the man shitty supporter out of Arsenal FC forever.
Times are more dangerous than many seem to realise because for the first time in 125 years we have shareholders and people on the board who are not Arsenal supporters and that should give us enough stress to keep us all awake at night.
I do however feel that AW needs to be left out of the harassment for two reasons. First for his achievements with the club and secondly and most importantly because every fan needs to be on board and that means the “AW we trust” lot and the “AW out” lot as well.
If it is true that the only thing holding AW back is the board and shareholders then even the AW mob should agree that the yank and Gazidis need to bugger off.
I personally believe that AW has run out of ideas and that he probably needs to move on while we still have a few good memories to remember him by.
But I would love to be proved wrong if Dein and Ushmanov came in and Kroenke an Gazidis left and AW turned things around and actually won us something.
The longer we sit back and wait the more we will see players like Mata, Suarez, Cissoko, Hazard, etc going to various clubs in England and not to Arsenal.

well that pretty much sums up arsenal and how the clubs mentality has been for the past 7 seasons i.e which is why there has been no silverware. Our top players leaving year after year and the reason why we cant lure any world class players to the club is because were so transparant they can see the clubs real ambitions and thats being the most financially stable club in the world (whilst not winning anything and not playing in the top competitions). Yes this is not a bad thing its business and it keeps us in the game, but also a football club, and football clubs have players and fans like you and i who first and foremost want to be successful.

It all rests in the hands of our English supporters. Hell my sister is in London and supports Chelsea, but I will get her to go to an Arsenal game with a banner telling the sods in the board and Krooked Kroenke to piss off. They are walking all over us and dragging our club through the gutter. Enough is enough. Guys join the facebook page Kroenke OUT Usmanov In, if we can get a few thousand members that will help. The media also need to get a hold of this and have a field day. So if you know of anyone in that industry, a nudge will get the ball rolling. I’m sick and tired of this dissapointment.

All that quote says is that the Arsenal board budget without counting on champions league qualification. Which is why we have a wage structure etc. Teams like Leeds for example and possibly chelsea budget to rely on it this can cause a big down fall. So all its saying is Arsenal can cope without it whilst other teams can’t.

When the Chairman of Arsenal Peter Hill Woods insists that missing out on the UEFA Champions League this season would not be a disaster what can you say. The Board and Management
have NO AMBITION. It is up to us the FAN’s to take things into our own hands. Protest hit them in the Pocket where it hurts, stay away from all Home matches then and only then will they get message.If we don’t do something we will become

agree with you 100% about the fact that the problem is the board & not the manager. he simply is their victim.
on his departure, nasri also stated that wenger should NOT be blamed for arsenal’s crisis. it’s the club’s finances.
lastly, remember, the comments made by ivan greedyzidis prior to our 2-1 loss to spurs? he said that he was happy with arsenal’s financial status!!!!!!
so its pretty obvious that the board must be pressurised & NOT the manager

Dear oh dear it’s like a tabloid newspaper, just print a bit of the article and phrase it the way you want to.
Read the complete interview and you will se he said that whilst wanting obviously to qualify year on year you have to budget not to! So if we do not qualify then we can withstand the loss of revenue. Surely this is good business sense and something all top clubs would do?

Look I am only 18 years old but I have seen a rapid decline in out football club , I have Been to many games over the years and I have to say our best times were definitely at highbury !!! Since we have moved to the emerites our club has been in free fall ! The departures of key players Henry, Fabregas, nasri, flamini , These players have neer been replaced , I’d even go as far to say that viera , Adams are still yet to be replaced !
Our club has ambition , and with wenger at the helm things are not going to change ! Although we cannot deny the fact that wenger has done so much for our club I believe his time has run out along with the current board !
Usmanov to take over and we need to find a manager that is going to buy players with some real quality !
I say us the fans , the rightful owners of Arsenal fc protest so we can force through a change !
We will not buy any quality players this window or the next with the current manger and board they need to go !!!

ArsenaLova I will not shut up, I was just putting you straight that not all that is printed is the truth. You and the rest of our supporters not based in England just do not understand our culture and
the way things work here. And before it starts do not dare call me racist because I an not. You call for half the stadium to be empty this weekend. All that wil do is hurt the players and give ManU a lift. The seats were all paid for at the beginning of the season. Someone else says about taking banners into the game. Outside the ground yes but you won’t be allowed to take them inside. Yes we have won nothing for some 6+ years but have been in two cup finals since our last trophy and have been close and one of the most consistent teams. We have the highest number of last 16 places in CL. yes we are having a very bad season in the Prem this year but who says we cannot win the FA Cup and/or the Champs League. By all means protest and make your voices heard but believe me my friend you are in a minority. Stop all this little girl whinging and support our team not destroy it. Your nonsense will harm us. You think this year is bad, well believe me I have over 50 years of watching my beloved Arsenal and seen us regular mid table. Wenger turned this club onto a global force, playing beautiful football and regularly winning trophies. Yes I agree he has lost his way but believe me what you are suggesting will do more harm than good. Just be very careful what you wish for.

okay so all ppl hv said here is nonsense?so we shud jst wait then?i dnt mention anythng about mr le prof wenger.what i dnt like is the three trio in the board. im nt trying to say empty the whole stadium,even if there is a lot of empty seats now n the stadium is so quiet.they bring henry to lift back the stadium.good strategy to own more profit.Then hv says wud brought a replacement for fab n nasri.then says wud bring a loan fullback.Then says again dnt wnna spend.it is jst so annoying cnsider what we being thru this past 6yrs.i cnt afford seing this keepinh till 10 to, more n more yrs to come seing us like this.The fans cheering n happy when we win. that n this. bt in the end of the season. all nothing.
highest number of champsleague what?qualifier? hw about winning it??so nxt yr we wil start new bright aim keep qualifying for europa league??yes we r challenging. bt pur squad is jst nt good enough! we all jst missed the glory days. The invinvible days. we’re moaning cus we cares n loves this club.im nt calling for wenger heads.u think i ddnt even support these club?mytears drop when we lose. when we’re winning i cn only afford to smile n it wud jst made mywholeday.so we need supplying more money to the club?n we cnt even hv somethng? where is the desire?ambition? i cud nt jst see the same arsenal n arsene wenger when dein left.Dein the one hu brought this club to glories.hes the one hu cn influence players n gve them a lift. bt with these current shareholder. kroenky?what dd he do?he is only acting.pretending like he cares. walking down the dressing room in earpy of the season when we gt a hard time n shake the players hand n hugged them. bt then hw he shows hes support?does he cme to watch arsenal plays?The board is fooling us. i dnt blame wenger. yes is is a annoyong stuborn arrogance man bt he need support such as dein at hes back.
okay if u say so. u win.im sory if i offended u earlier. u knws what right since u being there at london. n we wil always support n loves arsenal.we cud jst wait n see.n pretend to be happy for evrythng!

ArsenaLova – thanks for your reply. I can see that you are a really passionate supporter and I too apologise for any offence, none was meant. I agree with a lot you say and perhaps because I have seen seasons worse than this (yes a long time ago) I still see this as a mixture of some bad management from board and boss but also incredible bad luck with injuries. So many of our best players out for far too long. Perhaps it’s something to do with the training and as I live less than a mile from the training ground should go have a look! Seriously though we here feel as bad as you there but just hope we can change things around without loosing our manager.
Peace and Love

@Max.power Hillwood might be rich and have everything if he already in the board do something, if he can’t, remove yourself from the board.

Dear Fans,
Businesses World over belong not only to owners but to a number of stakeholders who have varying stakeholding. Their varying interests in the business cannot be underestimated as the business survival depends on all of them.Whereas the Board may be interested in profits, the fans are interested in trophies etc. Therefore there is always a balance and mutual interdependence and respect.
This is so because for instance, if the customers boycot the buying of the products of a given factory, it may have no option but to close down.Therefore, the owners of the business have to be always involving, careful with what they utter out and cautious about thier conduct.
Back to the point, the arrogant,rude,unreliable,selfish conduct of the Arsenal Board and Management is simply runnig down the club. As Arsenal Fans, we are only being taken for a ride.The Board in only interested in earning an additional pound. Time will tell.
We are not advocating for slashing money in the transfer market like madmen. However, what is vital is to do periodic assesment of the team departments and do the appropriate and timely replacement.It has ever been done and thats how the era of invicibles came about. As stakeholders, dear fans dont stand to be intimidated,lets stand together and we fight exploitation.

A PART FROM THE BIO OF DAVID DEIN:
He was Vice-Chairman of Arsenal between 1983 and 2007. He was appointed when he bought a 16.6% share of the club for £292,000 (he later sold a significant proportion to co-director Danny Fiszman) AT THE TIME OF DEIN’S PURCHASE OF THE SHARES IN ARSENAL BACK IN 1983, PETER HILL WOOD, ARSENAL’S CHAIRMAN DESCRIBED DEIN AS “CRAZY” TO INVEST HIS MONEY IN THE CLUB STATING THAT “TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES IT’S DEAD MONEY”.
HILL WOOD OUT!

AW and Hillwood sucks. They’ve both destroy arsenal, they should both be thrown out. How i wish we don’t qualify 4 CL and see RVP work out on arsenal like others ‘ve done. Then,we’ll see how much they’ll be making.
