The Arsenal Board is clearly lacking ambition…
Clear lack of ambition by Arsenal Board by RJK
The Arsenal Board and the Manager are taking the fans for granted. They forget the team is only there because of the fans. They continue to charge top dollar for replica shirts, memorabilia, gate charges, meals and drinks yet they are unwilling to change a philosophy which has failed time and time again (8 years now).
A great physicist, Albert Einstein once said ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity’. Why is the board not signing a world class player to lead the team to trophies? Falcao from Athletico Madrid is one such player. For 45 million pounds which is a par figure for top players now he can bring 40 plus goals leading to trophies.
The fans patience is running out and a tipping point is nigh. Arsenal will definitely be a permanent mid-table side at this rate. The lies and excuses given by the majority owner and board of their ambition will soon be seen for what they really are. Financial fair play will soon come in but Arsenal will still remain behind the big teams. Really there is no way Uefa will run a champions league campaign without Real, Barca, United, PSG, City, Milan, Juve, Chelsea simply because these BIG SPENDING TEAMS bring in the sponsors. Financial prudence is always welcome but the odd big signing for 50 million pound would not do much harm to the team.
That money can be easily recouped by winnings and replica shirt sales. The fans are not asking for the board to sign Messi for 150 million pounds. Iniesta for 25 millon can do wonders, a proven World Cup winner!, Falcao for 45 million is surely worth the risk?
For how long does the manager want to buy 17 year old unproven players and expect to compete with Barca? Yes buy your 17 year old winger, promote from the youth team, but those players will need a star player to hold their hand and guide them. The Arsenal board must shape up or risk losing fans. They will soon struggle to get 20 000 fans into our Expensive Stadium where no trophy has been won since we moved.
I have no experience in running a football club and I do not claim to have, but those who do and are in the positions must now stand up and lead the club back to its glory days. The day I get an audience with a billionaire, my first proposal will be to buy Arsenal and really bring back the club to the group of big teams.
Kind Regards loyal fan from Africa (over 20 years now of supporting the Gunners)

Am really fed up with this arsenal team but still support them.Each season we must have a deficit in the squad,this season its the striking force,Can’t Giroud be benched ????? coz he plays alot of nothing n Gervinho, OMG! lets not even go there.We are always in a round robin kind of cycle.Last season it was the defence,then before that goalkeepers.Yes they make money but how will they make it without fan support?Coz as fans we contribute so highly by buying merchandise and stadium entries n inturn we need to be made happy by the team winning trophies.What if we boycotted buying merchandise n going to watch them play!!! will they make all that money???The point is we need to win something n not all the time saying we will win it next season

Why dont we just buy as many players as we can from either Norwich, Swansea, Everton, Wigan and use them in the big games against Man Utd, City, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool. These teams put in better performances against the big clubs.
We have just too many internationals who are not gelling together as a unit. Frankly speaking. our performances against Norwich, Stoke,QPR, Sunderland,Chelsea,ManUtd highlights major deficiencies and a lack of determination to win games. That is 6 out of 10 leaque games we played so far, and it ha been painful watching Arsenal play them. On the subject of yesterday’s ref, Mike Dean as I posted before the match, has a reputation of dishing penalties to Man Utd and yellow and red cards to Arsenal. Something is clearly not right with the Arsenal management and board.

Even if they spend big money to buy a single big player, he won’t want to come cos Arsenal can’t afford his wage demand.
Arsenal will never be able to compete with the other top teams if they don’t change their wage structure first. If we can offer competitive wage to the top players, they won’t leave Arsenal so the board won’t need to spend big money to buy big players.
So the first & foremost thing is to change the stupid wage structure so Arsenal’s existing good players will not leave.
That’s why i never believe the board & Wenger’s crap about doing good buisness! They rather spend unnecessary money bringing in mediocre replacement players than using the money to pay & keep the existing world-class players like Van$ & now Walcott. And in the end Arsenal end up with a group of deadwoods & paying them to sit around. Is this their so-called good buisness model?

I keep saying Wenger has lost touch tactically no strategy. Wen was d last tym he used a 2-man striking pair attack n 2 offensive midfielders playing wif d strikers 4-3-3 is nt working. He pushed Ramsey 2 d right n kept walcott on the bench. He earns almost same wage wif Ferguson.

There is a say of d wise that ‘a fool and his gold are soon parted’. Wenger & gang will soon realise they are ‘penny wise pound foolish’! Between january and summer, Walcot, Sagna and TV will go, there will be under 17 purcases again, next year Carzola and Wilshere will realise they need trophies too, RMD and MU will come respctively, meanwhile the army of rejects, dreggs, non performers will swell up.
The urgent message must be sent NOW! Let our UK gooners agree to abandon d Emirates for just one match! Believe me this is d magic.

You are pissed off than that no can ever be imagined. Tell me who amongst the players we have at arsenal are pretty sure we will win a trophy soon? How many of them would like to play for our team for life? And for us the fans tell me why Carzola did not celebrate his goal against MU? Does it mean he feels like he made a mistake coming to our team? Because i dont have answers for the above questions, help me answer them. Atlist the likes of Kronkes always laugh when ever they visit their bank accounts, what am I to do when I pass by supporters of other teams who mock us. What am i supposed to be proud of.

Well i hope finally all those deluded arsenal fans who thought we were still good enough to challenge will now concede we are nowhere near good enough i said weeks ago we are million miles behind both mancs and chelski and yesterday proved how right i am 2-1 looks a close score line but in reality it flattered us could have been at least 6! Face facts the days of this once great club challenging for major honours are over we face many more years of misery while the board will be happy lining there pockets with money from selling our best players wilshire will be gone in the next year and carzorla will be off as well maybe its time for wenger to go as well he has taken the club as far as he can time to hand over the reigns to pep guardiola and were then see how good a managewr he really is working with average players!

Why would any decent player want to come to Arsenal?. Santi must be regretting his decision. If a player has any ambition to win silverware they would think several times before coming to Arsenal
So all this talk of spending on known goal scorers is just dreaming, The club cannot attact any decent talent now it can’t even keep its existing talent above average talent.. Wenger must make way now for someone with a lot more hunger! Some one who can put a bit of passion back into Arsenal. The win in mid week over Reading was, whilst welcome, was very much against the overall trend of decline in passion and fight in a team that seems to lack leadership both on and off the field.

You socalled Arsenal fans make me laugh.
This time last year you wanted Arsene’s head on a charger, there was talk of relegation and a boycotting of games at the Emirates.
In the end we finished 3rd and there was much praise for the resilience of the team and the way Wenger had changed things around after a horrendous start.
In the summer we got rid of disloyalty, signed some stars and regardless of what some of you say, we are a stronger team than for many a year. You folk simply have to have patience while the new boys gel in their first season in the EPL.

To all of you who want 50mil signings go cheer for oil diggers. The club is build on financial stability and blowing all that money for one player is a bit mad, dont you think? One bad knock and you have 50mil lying on the stretcher.
What the team needs is more quality signings and bigger depth. In the beginning of the season our midfielder was dominating every opponent. The fans were already smelling trophies. Now the same players are either injured or out of form (seems like an Arsenal tradition) and we’re seeing the consequences. And along comes the bashing of Wenger and the Board.
The bottom line is, stop talking about Falcaos and similar wonder boys. What we really need is keeping our best players and buying quality. Yesterday’s match showed what kind of a player we’ve sold to our rivals. We do need to change our wage structure but we’ll always gonna be a feeder club if we won’t offer the same amount as the oil diggers. But then again – we need to start making exceptions for our top players.

Also I am disappointed in some of the away Arsenal fans treatment of Van Persie. I heard the jeering and some of the chants. I know this sounds weird but when Van Persie scored I celebrated because he is still an Arsenal legend and he has Arsenal running through his blood. I felt he was scoring for Arsenal even though it was against us. Van Persie did not even celebrate which shows the class and loyalty of the great man. His post match interview showed the huge respect he has for us. He is an Arsenal legend and gave 8 great years service. We should be supporting him. As Ferdinand said, Van Persie showed much more class than our fans!!!

Oh and another thing while I am at it. The fans treatment of Santos is a disgrace. He is a Brazilian international and deserves more respect. I have seen people complaining about him swapping shirts with Van Persie at half time. Well he has every right. Santos like most people are amazed at how good Van Persie is. Any Arsenal player would have done the same in asking Van Persie for the sovenier Man Utd shirt. I wish I could get my hands on one. Santos is being given a hard time and his confidence is low. It is time we showed our support for him as he is class!!!

synsix, I agree with you completely. Van Persie is loyal and conducts himself with class. He is world class and all Arsenal fans should support him. We all should want him to win trophies with Man Utd and be successful because he deserves him. I am delighted he is getting 200,000 a week plus. I wish we could have met his wage demands but he is not about the money anyway. He is all about success. He is an Arsenal legend on a par with Henry.

My wish is for Van Persie in maybe 5 years to come back to Arsenal and play for us again just like Henry did. After he has had his success with Man Utd winning trophies it would be an honour for him to play for us again. Van Persie will always be a legend in my eyes. I wish him all the best!!!

Funniest part of the article was Iniesta for 25m lol. Maybe treble that figure cos he’s the best midfielder in the world atm. World class.
I think Jesus Navas, yanga mbiwa and a left back will be enough. Giroud needs crosses to score goals and navas is one of the best at doing that

wasting your time , unfortunately Joseph. Kroenke can do no wrong with most of this lot. Nothings going to change not even in two years, and again nothing still won’t happen. Why do you think he bought us in the first place- he knows a money spinner when he sees one, oh sorry no, its because he’s a huge Arsenal fan and wants the club to be sustainable.Those who continue to support this regime will do so until a whistleblower arrives on the board, and it don’t take a genius to figure out why they do not want Usmanov on it.The first way of finding out whats going on is to pressure the board into allowing usmanov his shareholer rights on the grounds of good governance-to continue to not do so usually indicates possible corruption and an underpinning lack of probity. This is the first small and significant step to making a change and will provide the Kroenke partisans with what alot of us already know-KROENKE’S ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY.

People forget that even the impressive pre tax profits arsenal made this year would not have been possible without selling van persie and song as the money made from these deals roughly equates to the money that came from these two sales, long story short arsenal can only make money selling there best players year after year otherwise it is not sustainable.

May I say, the times when we did win trophies and went unbeaten for a whole season the goal scoring record of our Striker the likes of Bergkamp and Henry and our midfielder Freddie and pires were able to score goals or more importantly crucial goals in crucial times. I say we need more of these types of players such as Pires and Freddie and get rid of ramsay, gervinho, santos and arshavin who are unheard of in big pressure games and get players that can do the opposite.
Also on Wenger’s views in bringing in players that can only be achieved if the current fringe players were to be released the 25 man squad team, I ask why is such a hard decision to make as cutting these type of losses would only benefit the team in contrast to the profits that Arsenal are so eager to brag about.

Sports economics people. Learn some before you judge! Every football club has to be a business FIRST and have a mission statement that comprises of making profit. This is the ONLY way to ENSURE SURVIVAL of our club. The tides will turn in the not-so-distant future. Just be patient!
I am proud to say that as an Arsenal fan of 25 years, I have stuck by my club through thick and thin. Fair enough I understand the frustrations, believe me I do share the same hurt, but success isn’t achieved without sacrifice. It has been a testing 7 years, almost like having to prove our resolve as supporters, but I call ALL gooners to stay strong and believe in your team.
You can call me disillusioned or naive, but I’ve been fortunate to be well educated in business economics and strategic marketing. Yes I am sure there are many intelligent people in here with the similar experience and knowledge, whom may disagree with my opinion, however, I remain a firm believer that Arsenal are on the right path to success. I actually admire Gazidis for his good business acumen. As a business owner, I give Arsenal much respect to the way they conduct their business. It not only puts Arsenal in a commanding position when FFP is enforced 100%, but it keeps Arsenal at the top for many decades to come. Whilst Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Man Utd drown in a sea of debt, Arsenal will be the Posiedon of this turbulent ocean. Already, the above mentioned teams are working hard to balance books. Mancini and Fergie have recently whinged about funding, which is a succinct sign that the tides are changing. Even avid Chelsea boss Abramovich can’t afford to spend irresponsibly forever!
Remember that expensive short term solutions are not the way. We have to be patient, spend prudently, pay off the stadium, build on top of our already healthy warchest, then when all the big teams hit the fan, Arsenal will strike! If we don’t, then I will obviously question the Board’s ambitions. Until then, we have NO CHOICE but to give the Board the benefit of the doubt. I know it sucks, but that is reality!

So last season we got about £60million from Fabregas and Nasri sales. Add clichys transfer aswell. Where the f*ck did that money go. We must have had a transfer budget before they were sold as well so all that money and we got Gervinho for christs sake. Ox Chamberlain n Arteta were good buys. Mertesaker was okay and is doing alright, but we could have bought 2 or 3 absoloutley world class players.
I love Arsenal. But not THIS Arsenal. We need to replace Wenger with Pep Guardiola and Kroenke with Usmanov and Gazidis with Dien. I havent been to a game all season because I dont want that greedy board wasting my money on themselves. Rant over

We had a world class striker that would have cost us much less the £30mil, but we sold him for £24mil … To our rival!
In what universe does a business owner sell his best asset to his direct competitor? I’ll tell you where – Arsenal under the current management – Gazidis, Hill-wood and $ilent $tan. Asking as we continue to declare a profit (who cares how that profit is made) they consider our club a success. And when the $h!t hits the fan, and everything how south, they will fire Wenger too, and eventually they too will jump ship and take their “well earned” (my arse!) money with them.
When asked legitimate questions at the AGM, they deal with us – the real supporters – with utter contempt. I detest them with every fibre of my being. You can have a go at your Abromovic’s or wealthy oil sheiks, but they actually have the interest of the club they own at heart. I know $ilent $tan only has one thing at heart – how much return he can make on his investment, no matter what the cost. F#%king hate them all.

Fans criticism of the players, Manager and Board is becoming too much. These same players played City to a stand still and overcame Liverpool. City with all it’s Stars could not overran West Ham, and Chelsea played a draw, Tothenham was humbled and Liverpool stuttered to a draw, so it was not Arsenal alone that had a blip, even Juventus was humiliated at home. The humiliation that Arsenal players and Wenger are receiving from sadists who called themselves fans are more than the pains of defeats they suffered. Admittedly they have not won a trophy for 7 years, and also some defeats are painful but despite these, is Arsenal the worst team in the EPL?. Almost all the big teams have leaking defenses and have conceded atrocious goals. Man City with their array of stars are about going out of CL at the group stage and Chelsea is standing on one leg. Does it imply that City is better than Arsenal because City won the EPL for the first time in 42 years after spending more than £1b? This would amount to standing logic on its head. Apart from the CL, Chelsea in their history has not won as many trophies as Arsenal, it’s history of long term failures only improves after Abramovic heavy investments. Liverpool has been without an EPL tittle for very many years yet the fans are not calling for the execution of the managers and players. Tothenham with all the noises always fade behind Arsenal. Arsenal fans must change their attitude and learn to employ decent and civil languages when voicing their disappointments. Calling the members of the board thieves is out of it even when they have invested their own money without putting the club into more debt. Will any decent player be happy to give his best to a team whose most fans are bunch of sadists and psychopaths who for a little mistake would abuse the players and the manager and called for them to be guillotined?. Even in the Stadium only few loyal fans cheer the team.. It is the dubious and insatiable fans that would cause the decline of Arsenal not the board, or players or the manager. Every negative and discouraging comment is a minus and have cumulative negative demoralizing effects. The way the fans are going, and if Arsenal board dances to their tune, we would change managers like kiddies pampers and sooner than later become worse than Liverpool. As it is now, Arsenal is still competitive and in the race, the teams only need another striker, a left back and proven central defender. This is what reasonable fans should demand and not the heads of the board , managers and players. I agree of course that some fringe, declining, and players who have been unable to maximize the opportunities given to prove themselves should be sold but not the throwing away of the baby and the bowl. Stop raining abuses and insult on the team. Since Rafael Benitez was sacked by Liverpool, the team has not been able to rediscover its old self. Arsenal is not far away from the track, but the team needs encouragement and constructive criticism otherwise the team would be driven by mad fans to commit irreparable blunders. Yes, the players must burk up and start playing well. They must discountenance the jeers of the few mad fans and put in their best every time they wear the color of the team. They must not be discouraged by the chants of some good for nothing fans. Also, the board must do a little review of their wage cap but still operate within their budget and must not allow any player to hold them into ransom over unreasonable demands. The manage, Wenger must change his style and become more adaptive to prevailing situations. He should not be too tolerant of non-performing players or injury prone ones. The case of RVP should teach him a lesson. No over protectiveness of players again but promptly puting them up for sale if they could not justify their positions.
If these had been the practice the likes of Walcott, Diaby, RVP would haven been sold long ago and better replacements got. The club should continue on the path of self sustenance but with gradual addition of proven players to the team. Don’t allow fans who want easy success to push the club into unending circle of debts. Wenger deserves our respect, he could easily earn more in some other clubs.

@ S.H-
On 18 April 2007 it was revealed by Arsenal that he had left the club with immediate effect after “irreconcilable differences” between himself and the rest of the board. It is thought that he was in favour of a possible takeover of Arsenal by an external benefactor seeking to invest money into the club. Arsenal had invested heavily in the development of their new stadium which forced the club to take on heavy debts which meant the club was in need of new revenue. I’m talking about DAVID DEIN.
i hope u know who is dis guy and what he did for english football and arsenal.
do u think a guy like him would talk non sense about need of external fund source.
