Time to Stand Up? AGM and fan discontent

[skizz_b]

@DarrenArsenal1: Gazidis "we all want to have a competitive team. Transfer market is not a supermarket. Ltd top club, competing for same players"

@johncrossmirror: 'Within certain constraints, we make all the money available. But it's not a supermarket. A lumpy market where small number of clubs PTO

[skizz_b]

@SheWore: IG sounds like he's putting all the onus on AW. The money is there for AW. Simple as... So it's Wenger's problem.?

[highburyJD]

cheers skizz - too hungover to negotiate twatter

[skizz_b]

@10akhil: Ivan - transfer market is not like a supermarket. Many top clubs competing for top players and issues crop up about contracts,fitting in...

@10akhil: Which then makes it difficult. Its challenging - Ivan #afcagm

@DarrenArsenal1: Gazidis "keep powder dry and sign players the manager wants and believes in"

@BlackScarfAFC: As I said earlier, the Board is saying that the money is there. The manager chooses not to spend and we don't challenge. Accountability?

@TimPayton: Now we are getting a lecture from Ivan about how difficult it is to sign top quality players. #whitewash

@DarrenArsenal1: Gazidis "over time we have outperformed every year for 15 years in term of spend"

[skizz_b]

@johncrossmirror: 'Compete for a small number of players.' Gazidis: 'over time we out performed our spend every year and AW management kept us at top of game'

@SheWore: Kroenke's sitting here thinking 'hmm what will I have for lunch?' Saying nothing

[skizz_b]

@LeGrove: 'We'd rather keep our powder dry than spend'

@DarrenArsenal1: Mr Chairman calls @DarrenArsenal1 Daniel! Glad it was not only my name he stumbled on! qu on dividends...

@DarrenArsenal1: My question on dividens payments ....

[skizz_b]

thanks for the appreciation lads

[skizz_b]

@10akhil: Stan is speaking!

[skizz_b]

@DarrenArsenal1: @DarrenArsenal1 asking for new money to go to the club not to shareholders. Kroenke answering this one. As 'majority shareholder' not owner

@BlackScarfAFC: Waiting for Gazidis to announce the appointment of Pete Burns as his right hand man.

@johncrossmirror: Big moment for @DarrenArsenal1 his question on dividends for the board. Here's Stan - he thanks Darren and says KSE record in sport PTO

[skizz_b]

@DarrenArsenal1: Stan Now speaks ... " This is a board decision,aside from that we have a record in sports round the world, we've never put any debt on club"

@10akhil: Stan struggling to speak a bit. Def not a public speaker. #afcagm

@DarrenArsenal1: Stan "we have a record of reinvestment."

@SheWore: Timewarp. This is the same as last year. Crys of 'not answering the question'

@TimPayton: Now @DarrenArsenal1 challenges Kroenke to give a long term commitment not to take cash out of the club. Kroenke responds but won't answer

@johncrossmirror: Stan continued: 'we've never put a debt on this club. This is 6th AGM and my only regret is I didn't get involved earlier'

[skizz_b]

@10akhil: Stan says only regret is not to get involved earlier! #afcagm did not answer the qu on if shareholders will take dividends though.

@DarrenArsenal1: HE DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION !!!!

[skizz_b]

@10akhil: Ivan tries to rescue stan by saying debt has not been put on the club but did not answer the qu on if dividends will be taken. #afcagm

@SheWore: Question about revenue in comparison to united. United's has escalated ours has grown a little bit.

[skizz_b]

@TimPayton: Kroenke obviously plans to take dividends as refuses to answer question asking about that policy. So now we know on record what we guessed

@BlackScarfAFC: Stan, you didn't get involved in Arsenal earlier because the CHAIRMAN said "We don't need his money and we don't want his sort".

[skizz_b]

@DarrenArsenal1: Q4 Glynn from AST re poor commercial deals ... Gazidis "revenue at MUFC is results of work 10 years ago from touring, digital etc"

[skizz_b]

@10akhil: Qu on revenue growth and comparisons with man utd and Ivan says man utd started the process 10 yrs ago and afc have started to do this...
