Avoid taking on the board. By all means assert the wish for concentrating on the football club, but focus on a groundswell of opinion to buy better players and not tolerate the Diabys and Denilsons.
If you start talking about shares and takeovers etc you have lost before you begin.
Usmanov wanted a share issue with money going to players. The board did not agree. He owns 29% of the club and he got nowhere!
This has to be by the fans for the fans, and not connected to wrangling with the powerful board members who will thwart anything against them.
Plus you know what? Most fans do not want to campaign about all that. It is boring, financial and dull.
USMartin, you already started your campaign against the board, carry on with your own campaign if you are so bothered by the board.
Make it achievable and stick to what we know. Football.
PLC = Public Limited Company.
I think any doubts I have had about your character and motives have all been put to rest Quartz.
Seriously Marty, fuck off. You carry on with your petition and let us actually get something done here.
Just get off this thread if you're going to cause trouble.
Goodnight everyone, I'll sleep on it and hopefully we'll bring some good thoughts to the table tomorrow. 
I think you ought to read what I have said on here before going off half-cocked and compare to Quartz's comments and ask yourself who is really trying to achieve what you really want achieved. Go ahead I posted multiple times today better still here ais a version of a Preamble I tried
Our goal is simple – to give Arsenal Football Club the very best possible chance of competing for the chance to emulate or even exceed the success on the pitch it achieved from 1998-2005 and in other periods of success, and we believe that has not happened since 2006 and understanding there were legitimate financial concerns at times during that period that may have limited our ambitions then, do not understand why our ambitions remain limited now given the much improved financial health of the club the past several years..
We believe this help would allow the Club, the Board, and Manager, to show greater ambition in terms of the quality of players we choose to obtain moving forward as well as those already at the club we choose to retain, which would put us in a much stronger position to compete for and win silverware going forward. This is something we believe should be our ambition above all else as a top football club, especially one which historically has pursued this ambition, and has set policies that support that ambition whenever possible, and certainly did in the recent past.
There is a lack of clarity on our policies as relating to our ambitions and this has gone on some time now and has been to the club’s detriment and we worry that will continue as long as there is no serious review or clarification of the policies regarding our investment in the transfer market as well as our wage policy and structure and whether they may be hindering our ambitions now. We fear that regardless of who has set these polices or what their motives may be, that the current policies are insufficient for our great club at this time, or that our ambition itself is no longer sufficient and this must be clarified or corrected, and that this is the case regardless of who is setting these policies or why.
Our hope is the Club the Board and the Manager will take this in the spirit intended, which is one of continued love and support of, and concern for Arsenal Football Club and of those trusted to serve and protect its interests by all its many supporters in Highbury, Islington, London, and around the World, now and always.
