The Board-Finance-Kroenke

[augie]

Has anybody else got the email from the aisa showing the 31 questions that their members put forward for last nights meeting with the smarmy ceo c**t ? I know that some of them were not dealt with on the night but here are a few of my "favourites" -

1.Who do you consider to be the most accomplished football CEO currently working today?

2.Cycle parking on Drayton Park was originally a splendid thing but has been increasingly shoved to one side and variously full of debris and stuff left 'out the back' of the shop - a modest matter of housekeeping but a bit of an irritation? Can you rectify this?

3.You have overseen a large expansion of Arsenal penetration and profitabity that has largely rebuffed the recession. What is the percentage of back office running and staffing costs of total annual expenditure, excluding the on-field team staffing spend?

4.What plans do the Club have to improve the pre and post match entertainment offered to fans?

5.When can we expect to see free Wifi at the Emirates Stadium?

6.How long will take for the new financial fair play regulations of UEFA to take full effect and produce a more level playing field in the Premiership?

In my opinion there were some questions that had real possibilities to be on the money but ended up being a softly softly watered down questions -

1.There are some fans who criticize yourself, Dick Law, and Mr Kroenke and ask what do you do? Can you explain your specific roles within the club and your perceived successes that has allowed the club to grow both on the playing side and commercially

2.The Board must have been aware of a significant groundswell of negativity from supporters towards the club - and its Manager - in mid season. How much does this affect the running of the club; does it affect the short and long term planning, and does it act as a stimulus to improve or have a negative, undermining effect across the whole organisation?

Hands up, I am a cynic - I see fans groups representing me and I cannot associate with this touchy feely bullshit relationship that some have with the club ? I am fully aware that because questions had to be submitted in advance so the "stronger" questions may not have made it through but ffs how would any fans group allow questions to be submitted on their behalf, where they are asking about wifi, litter control and pre match entertainment ? I go to matches to be entertained on the fcuking pitch not in the concourses and if being able to web browse is crucial to my enjoyment then I dont deserve to be called a Gooner
All the things going wrong within the club and we get this

It will be a fucking sad day when in-stadium WiFi is rolled out at that place and i'm sure it's not far off. I believe Anfield already have it.

On the aisa email it actually lists the names of the people who put each question forward but some unknown reason I decided to leave their names out of my post - can you imagine actually having your name attached to one of those questions ?

These two questions sum up all that is fucking wrong with these type of fans;


4.What plans do the Club have to improve the pre and post match entertainment offered to fans?
5.When can we expect to see free Wifi at the Emirates Stadium?


What type of cúnt even thinks about stuff like that? Never mind actually puts it forward as a question.

Fuck me sideways. Just... Jesus Christ...

Prawn sandwiches and fucking i-pads, just what the club need.

Just like the woman who got up and broke the pressurised environment at the AGM by asking about the women's team and then some other stupid fucker followed it up with an equally mundane and trivial question.

Fucking embarrassment, should be thrown under racehorses.

Sir Chips Keswick, replacing Peter-Hill Wood as Arsenal Chairman, is a sprightly 74 in age.

So its Sir Chips Keswick to replace PHW then...... What is the fucking point of replacing one senile geriatric fuckwit with another! Even Gazidis has acknowledged the need to freshen up the board, but in keeping with everything else Arsenal at the moment its a case of same old, same old.

Think we are trying to keep our values

[QuartzGooner]

His age matters not to me.
I think Chairman these days is a largely ceremonial and hospitality role, the real business is done by Kroenke, Wenger, Gazidis and Fox.
