This is my letter, obviously it only is applicable to me but maybe the idea can help. Home Address

Recipient's Address.

Dear Mr Gazidis ,

I am writing to you to express my dismay at the deterioration of standards at Arsenal F.C. This deterioration has led to feelings running very high among Arsenal supporters. it is my long held belief that, as this state of affairs has occurred on your watch ,that you as CEO of Arsenal FC are partly responsible for it. The responsibility is overall collective and I would appropriation the majority of blame on the current manager Mr Wenger along with major shareholder Mr Kronke.

I have supported Arsenal for 42 years, through thick and thin , good and bad. My support of the glorious institution is not pre conditioned or determined by success on the pitch. I grew up in a small village in rural Ireland, my first experience of watching football was the 1970 World Cup on TV, my first experience of watching club football was the FA Cup Final of 1971. I began supporting Arsenal FC in 1972 when as a child I felt so sorry for the Arsenal players following the FA Cup Final defeat to Leeds United . I had no inherited ties and obviously no geographical ties to Arsenal FC. But my heart was won by the style and uniqueness of "my club". As I got older I learned more about the club and it's place in history. The stories of how the tube station changed name, the flowers in the colour of the opposition in the boardroom on match days. Everything about this club demonstrated that The Arsenal went about its affairs the correct way , The Arsenal way.

My first visit to Highbury was before the Taylor report and all seater stadiums, I emerged from the tube station into a grey October afternoon and there were honestly tears in my eyes as I saw for the first time the majestic stadium as it stood among the houses and streets. Walking by the North Bank I was actually jealous of the supporters queuing up to stand on the terrace , I had a ticket for the west Stand Lower but wanted to be on the terrace, among my own you might say.
A quick walk around to the main entrance and a kindly commissioner allowed my friend and I into the Marble Halls to have a photograph taken with the bust of the legendary Herbert Chapman. The place screamed "history".

I, along with most Arsenal fans, bought into the logic of leaving that most beautiful setting and move to the new stadium in Ashburton Grove. We bought into a dream . A dream not being realised by a club, overseen by you, that has settled into a comfort zone of mediocrity. We were to compete with the Spanish and German giants and bring the Champions League to London, it was a dream , a must for Arsenal fans that our club be the first from London to be crowned European Champions.

We have dropped our standards to such a level that we are not competing with the Spanish or German club's we actually are barely competing with our North London neighbours and other clubs of that level. We are THE ARSENAL and we are losing at Stoke City. Football clubs will always lose game, The great 1930s side lost an FA Cup game at Walsall for example, but we are not competing. We are in such a sorry state of affairs that there is infighting among our support. Loyalties have been stretched to such a limit that lifelong Arsenal fans are hoping for defeats in order to speed up the change that we all know our club is crying out so loudly for.

Do not suggest for one minute that these supporters or those that were at Stoke on Trent train station are not "true " Arsenal supporters. They are and I am. I still want Arsenal to win games but for the first time in that 42 years the wins mean less and less to me. I know this malaise can only end with the departure from our club of Mr Kronke, Mr Wenger and you.

I appreciate the service and innovation that Mr Wenger has given , not just Arsenal FC but also football. But his legacy is now so tainted by the acceptance of failure and mediocrity that I can no longer look back on his early years with any fondness. This hurts me to the very core. Sadly by way of how I see my club's attitude towards supporters and more so their opinion of me it equally pains me to believe my views and my support are no longer cared for by Arsenal FC or PLC .
I see an Arsenal that views it's support more favourably when they are queuing in the Armoury with their purchases than it does those who travel over land and sea to support the club.

It has been an agonising nine or so seasons since moving stadium, the promises have been broken and the dreams are in tatters . We are told to be grateful and be "careful what we wish for". We have witnessed humiliation at Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, St James Park, Anfield, Goodison, Liberty Stadium, San Siro, Nou Camp , White Heart Lane and many other places. We saw top player after top player being sold and all too often replaced by mediocre imports.
We are customers of a money making corporation, our support , our emotional investment means nothing to Arsenal 2014 model. There was a club that cared about its support, that club lived a few hundred yards from your plush surroundings . There was a football stadium a few hundred yards from the tourist trap glass house Arsenal PLC now occupy.

I am carefully thinking about what I am wishing for Mr Gazidis, and I wish to have my Arsenal back . You and Mr Wenger or Mr Kronke cannot be part of that. For as long as you are in charge of Arsenal it can no longer be my club. I will not attend a home game until such time you all leave.

Yours Sincerely
BWK

Good one mate.....Let the Changes Begin.

Have to laugh at those "offended" by Wenger getting verbals at Stoke. Just shows how out of touch some really are.

Exactly the opposite.

Out of touch?

Been a fan for over 35 years, season ticket holder, travelled away and overseas for the club, spent thousands of pounds following us and thousands of hours watching us on TV and reading about us online, (not to mention a few hours merging threads )

It is about tradition and heritage and identity, and that lot at the station came across as undignified kids.
We have a unique identity as a club, and a unique fan tradition.

The targeted personal hatred of Wenger was all too similar to the contrary trite celebrity culture of the UK; laud an average singer who belts out a few cover songs on the X Factor, then demolish someone who is in difficulty.

Without reasoned criticism and focused campaigning our fans denigrate our reputation and tradition.


Brady I appreciate the sentiments of your letter but criticising Gazidis is the wrong tactic...as far as I am concerned he is the one who knows full well how Wenger is messing up and is readying himself for the right time to appoint a new boss.

Only if you're a fucking retarded moron sitting in a tiny minority. I'll ask again Quartz (and perhaps my comments won't be deleted this time) - how many people were involved in this? There were a good 3,000 travelling fans who went to Stoke and I'm led to believe the majority stayed at the end and clapped the team off. We're talking about how many people actually abusing him? A dozen? Twenty? Impossible to control everyone's behaviour at every club. Perhaps its because our fans are so well behaved that it has actually made any form of news. If it was Pardew getting that abuse at Newcastle station people would have shrugged their shoulders and talked about the passion of those fans in the North East who deserve better

Sorry to pick this part only Quartz, but all of this was sold down the river as soon as we left Highbury and got into bed with our current absentee landlord.

We had a unique identity as a club, but the only unique fan tradition I can see at present is that of blind devotion to a faded legend.

The club is now corporate, I agree, though it does a lot of charity and community work and the faces behind these schemes are largely old school Arsenal.

The change happened in two phases, the first was the stadium move, the second and more noticeable to me were Kroenke's changes.
Top flight football as a sport changed though, it was not just our club.

But surely our fans have to remember who we are, what we represent and where we come from?

Or should we just be reduced to buying Arsenal branded headphones?

You're right, sport has changed and the club from a generation ago practically doesn't exist any longer, but if we fans have a responsibility to our heritage then so does the club.

Running the club like the Politburo doesn't help, and while that doesn't excuse drunken fuckwits given Wenger abuse on a train station platform we are at boiling point and some will snap.

As for Arsenal branded headphones? Received wisdom has it that a fool and his money are easily parted.

Dont doubt your bona-fides as a gooner quartz. And you have some good points. The problem I have with your post/stance on booing Wenger is that it is HIM not us who has tarnished our "unique identity as a club". It is HIM who is abusing YOU. A fan who has "Been a fan for over 35 years, season ticket holder, travelled away and overseas for the club, spent thousands of pounds following us and thousands of hours watching us on TV" He is making a fool of you and all of us while collecting stupid money to achieve very little.

Dont forget Wenger has ignored and insulted us for years. Just how can we achieve "reasoned criticism and focused campaigning" with someone who has an ego the size of Wengers? And while fan groups ingraitiate themselves with him and the suits by ignoring the elephant in the room?

I really dont see what the problem is. 3-0 down to Stoke at half time. Groundhog season yet again. Zero DM's worth talking about. Light in the CH dept. No defence. No tactics, people are fukin entitled to be angry. People are entitled to give him verbal.
Reasoned criticism and focussed campaigning is wonderful Quartz but when your cold, pissed off, 100 quid or so lighter and had a few bevvies and just watched a pile of pure shite what do you expect? This is why I maintain that those offended or appalled by a few seconds of shouting at Wenger are out of touch and need to wake up. This is exactly what we need MORE of not less.
Ive maintained for years that it will be us, the fans who decide when Wenger goes. Not Wenger. When his massive ego get hurt its then that he'll go. Fan pressure. That'll get him out. Nothing else.

Yes Wenker got a bit of booing and jeering, which some perceive as out of order but any Arsenal fan who has travelled away in support of our club has had to endure far far worse I am sure, from supporters of various clubs.

spat at, kicked from behind (Chelsea)
coins thrown at (Coventry)
Punched (scum)

Gazidis said, (I seem to recall, possibly at last year's AGM) that the fans would decide when Wenker went, well Ivan the times they are a changing.
