Jesus..i was expecting some sort of in depth revelation about everyone involved...not something my 5 year old nephew could have told me..
I get the impression she's not the brighest and she certainly wasn't cut out for the position her husband left her in, i think the rest of them probably just got bored trying to bypass her, so decided to just get rid of her..
I do find it laughable though, that Hill-Wood, no more than an employee (a shit one at that ) is sacking someone that actually owned 15.9% of the club
..It's almost as ridiculous as a guy who owns nearly 30% of the club being kept out of the boardroom by a group of guys that bar one of them, own somewhere between very little and f*ck all of the club..

What a bitch!
I've never heard about anything she contributed while she was a director. If she felt this way, why didn't she say something at the time.
She's taken millions out of a club she put nothing into and now she opens her mouth.
She's shagged us and judging by the photo I might be willing to return the compliment.

Do any of us know what she actually did?SpanishJoe wrote:

But she has taken nothing out of the club.
She sold shares, Stan Kroenke bought them.
Neither adds to nor detracts from the club in terms of finance, only in terms of what Stan may or may not be able to influence.
I was very disappointed when she twattered that David Dein was the root cause of all the troubles at the Club.
Glad she has changed that...

DD was in no way the 'root cause of all the troubles at AFC'. I don't want to speak ill of the dead or the living, so I'll leave it there for now.Having initially been critical of Dein's role at the club, Bracewell-Smith backtracked on her earlier claims that he was "the root cause of all the troubles at AFC". She tweeted today: "I stand corrected, Dein loves the club and although sometimes personalities fall out his contribution at Arsenal has been immense.

The fact that she has contradicted herself means that her comments can't be trusted. One way, or the other. I think.Babu wrote:I was very disappointed when she twattered that David Dein was the root cause of all the troubles at the Club.

I cannot understand why she Tweets about Arsenal?olgitgooner wrote: The fact that she has contradicted herself means that her comments can't be trusted. One way, or the other. I think.
She has sold her shares and is no longer a board member.
If she wants to establish herself as a blogger/media commentator on football finance or Arsenal business matters then it her choice, but she is making a mess of it.
She has made a name for herself but she has no clear identity...if she is serious about making changes at Arsenal then she should either write a tell-all book (unethical but Forum members would lap it up!) or should have sold shares to Usmanov and tried a rival bid to Kroenke.

Sorry, nothing constructive to add. Just thought that was a top comment from our resident Mackem!!safcftm wrote:GoonerSA wrote:I'd hit that.
Just saying.I quite possibly wouldnt (based on that picture alone, I havent seen any others of her), and this is me who would literally fuck almost anything with a pussy and a pulse. Sometimes even the pulse would be optional. Or the pussy if it looked feminine enough

Or if she actually cared so much, kept her shares, pushed the board to make changes, invested in the club, and pushed for the improvements that our club clearly need. But no, she sold out. I couldnt give a fuck what she has to say for herself.

"Powerfull", yeah rite thats why you got bullied of the board luv, as I said before if the club was so badly run, why didnt you use this "power", grow a pair, and stand up to them?
Fucking bitch whore.
