Gazidis on Sky Sports News

[flash gunner]

Sorry but shouldnt we wait for the full quotes.

You can take quotes out of context from any one at arsenal that would make gooners catch fire with fury.

Surely Gazidis is not stupid enough, to talk to us through wengerspeak.

Are you kidding me? Gazidis is the ultimate purveyor of management speak - say a lot without saying anything bullshit

[kiwomya]

Did anyone see Ivan's interview??

"Arsene is incredibly focused"

"We have shown great strength"

"We have been remarkably consistent and Arsene will lead us back to consistency"

Haven't seen a full transcript yet but these are the stand out quotes. They're all as deluded as each other. Looks as if everybody in a position of authority at our great Club are happy to fiddle whilst Rome burns.

Where is the leadership???????

Does this make any sense?

The full quote (From Sky Sports):

"The financial position of the club is strong, that's the platform that has been created over the years by consistent success, and although we live in a short-term news cycle where every up and down will be reported on as if it is a catastrophe, the truth is that the club has been incredibly consistent and will find its way back to consistency."

All of it:

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis insists Arsene Wenger retains the full backing of the club's board and his hunger to be a success.

Some reports have suggested that the French tactician finds himself under pressure after overseeing a disappointing opening to the 2011/12 campaign.

Wenger has been considered to be virtually untouchable throughout his Arsenal tenure, but results and performances have taken an alarming dip of late.

There is, however, full confidence within Emirates Stadium that fortunes will soon take a turn for the better and the season will be back on track.

That is the view of Gazidis and he has assured Wenger that majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has no plans to wield the axe.

Collective responsibility
He told Sky Sports News HD: "No, he shouldn't be worried. What I think Arsene is concerned about is what we have to do to set our course straight on the pitch.

"Arsene and Stan and I have been working very closely together, there is no division between us, and there is a collective responsibility for what happens at the club.

"Arsene has been an incredible manager for this club, he is one of the most in-demand managers in the world, and we are very fortunate to have him tied down to a long-term contract. We are lucky to have someone who cares about the responsible development of the club.

"Obviously in sport you always have ups and downs and the important thing is to keep focused on what we have to do and make sure we take the steps to turn around this season, but also that Arsenal can stay, as it has for the last 14 years, at the top of the game. We can then look ahead to next year and five to 10 years from now. I am convinced that we have a really solid platform to do that.

"The financial position of the club is strong, that's the platform that has been created over the years by consistent success, and although we live in a short-term news cycle where every up and down will be reported on as if it is a catastrophe, the truth is that the club has been incredibly consistent and will find its way back to consistency."

Strong squad
Gazidis has also sought to play down reports suggesting Wenger has lost his appetite for the Gunners post.

He claims the 61-year-old, who has spent 15 years in the Arsenal hot-seat, remains as determined as ever to lead the club into a bright and successful future.

"He absolutely does," he added.

"The portrayals of him as being a broken man could not be further from the truth. Arsene is incredibly focused on what he needs to do and addressing the issues that he has seen.

"We have got a deep and strong squad, with a good mixture of youth and experience, and we know that we have the talent level to put things right."

Pravda propaganda

[swimmer1]

Gazidis = Alaister Campbell

Arsene and Stan and I have been working very closely together, there is no division between us, and there is a collective responsibility for what happens at the club.

Stan speaks what a load of bollocks how about him speaking to us .

Fucking hate all this shit what is going on at the moment .

They are looking at our record this season should be looking at what has gone on since Febuary won 5 games out of 19 .

[Babatunde]

I will agree not to spend anymore money on a league game this season.

Being serious there's about 45,000 ST members that have already paid to attend matches. Unless your saying don't attend matches?

Yes am saying don't attend matches. Robs them of overpriced cash for hot dogs,programmes etc. It's symbolic, as Pool fans did with Hodgson when just 15,000 turned up for a league game v Wolves.

He was out the door 12 hours later. Yanks understand one thing: CASH RULES MOFOS.

Stop attending. It will be the ultimate rebuke of the wanker Wenger.
Besides, the football is shit, no atmosphere, cunty players.

Of course it does.

Since we moved to the souless bowl in order to challenge the likes of Barca, Real, Man U et al for world domination they have all fell off the rails & won stuff while we have being remakably consistent at winning fuck all !!

But the club have had 45,000 worth of ST money already. So it makes no financial difference to the club if I choose to attend or not.
Not attending would only be a visual (or non-visual) protest.

Agree with the other aspects like programmes etc...I've already stopped doing that.

You've clearly never spent enough time listening to this mug.

'The Arsenalisation process is key to our development'
'Our self-sustainability model has Arsene at the heart of our business plan'
'There is no better man for the Arsenal job than Arsene'
'Arsene should be involved in all negotiations'

Yup. He is incredibly fucking stupid.

C*nt. Listen up here.
This is the whole problem. I don't give a fuck about our FINANCIAL POSITION THIS IS FUCKING FOOTBALL. If you want a place based on finance then fuck off and go work for KPMG. That is the only fucking thing Gazidis can go on about 'our financial position'. SO FUCKING WHAT. We could be playing League 1 football and this *word censored* will still go on about financial position.

WE LOST 8-2 AT OLD TRAFFORD.
WE WERE HUMILIATED AT BLACKBURN.
WE HAVE WON NOTHING FOR ALMOST SEVEN YEARS.
THE FANS ARE ANGRY.
THE MANAGER AND CHAIRMAN INSULT FANS IN PUBLIC
WE MADE A PROFIT IN THE TRANSFER WINDOW AGAIN.
THE SUMMER WAS A TOTAL CATASTROPHE.
WE HAVE WON JUST THREE/FOUR GAMES IN THE LAST SEVENTEEN LEAGUE MATCHES

How fucking dare this wanker insult our intelligence by alluding to short-termism? If Gazidis was working at ManYoo he'd have had to fire Wenger in 2008, or he'd have fired himself instantly after the comments he just made.

It is UNACCEPTABLE that he is continuing to ignore the anger of fans. That is what he's doing. He's going on about 'self sustainability'. In the fact of all facts he is just backing Wenger. Backing AW is not his job, a CEO is there to act as SCRUTINY.

As I said though. When the manager is the one appointing the CEO as a puppet WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

This is sickening and disgusting. Couldn't be more out of touch and deluded. The fans need to stage a fucking massive protest and let these *word censored* know the club is OURS. Not some half-baked South African clown, a silent semen stain who is in to speculate and a retarded chairman who probably thinks there's an Eton in Ghana.

Fucking bunch of locusts, this club has become an absolute farce.

What is worse is that many, many fans who should know better are idly standing by, attending matches, saying nothing and letting this get worse.

Still. I suppose thank fuck for Red Action. They'll come out with something interesting and worthy for the club eh? Perhaps they could stage another pro-Wenger march this time hmmm? Pfffffft....

[bunch]

Just watching SSN. Two things to say:

1. Gasidis is a master of spin. All words, no substance and no balls. He can fuck off.
2. I'd do Charlotte Jackson

[Babatunde]

Wenger is at it again, this time he is having a pop at the fans on French television. Basically saying that if anyone thinks they could find someone who could do a better job than he is doing now, with what he has available, that they are welcome to name him.

Here's a name for you Arsene. NEIL FUCKING WARNOCK.

Now fuck off.

What did you want him to say?
It's obvious the defeats are striking severe blows to the boss

[piresistible]

Quote:
he did not suddenly become a bad manager or somebody who became out of touch with the game. That is complete nonsense."

That's right. Wasn't overnight it has been seven years in the making.
Out of touch with the game? The man who keeps the same stale as piss number 2 and refuses to appoint a defensive coach, no tactics, no understanding of the modern transfer market, a refusal to pay market value for class players ('dizzying' transfer fees) and a guy who thinks you can win silverware without focusing on defence.

It is clear that Gazidis is just as out of touch as AW is.
The fans need to remind this c**t who subsidizes his CEO salary.

seriously do you even support arsenal?

You seem to be missing the point entirely Boomer.
It is a cop-out to claim that because the ST been paid already that it makes no sense not attending. Sorry mate, that's bollocks and you know it. I'll repeat my original point: when Liverpool played Wolves at home in a league game, 80% of tickets at Anfield for the home support had been paid up already. Yet just under 20,000 or so turned up if I recall.

It is SYMBOLIC. It's a bloody cop-out to say since you've paid already it makes no difference. In my final season as an ST holder my ticket was paid but as an act of symbolism, I stopped attending. People had paid for their tickets to watch a CL semi v ManYoo but it didn't stop half of them walking out of a CL semi just barely 30 minutes after kick-off now did it?

It is the symoblism of it. It's called showing Wenger you have absolutely no interest in watching his merry band of pussyholes. Each time you attend, it's a vote for AW. Even if You think you disagree with him etc...the mere fact you are there is fuel for the Arsenal Kremlin.

'Look at all the fans turning up to see Arsene'

If there's no fans there to watch, then no one can claim our football is exhilarating or people would turn up to watch it.

If there's no fans there, then Gazidis cannot claim our model is 'self-sustainable' since the fans have vetoed the matchday experience.

If there's no fans there, no oen can turn round and ask you 'who else could do Wenger's job' because it is clear the fans have lost faith.

If you pack the ground every week though, you're harming the club imo. By all means attend if you agree with what is going on and are happy with the state of affairs. But paid up or not, you can kid yourself into saying you are attending to back the players alone but if you'd read any Pravda articles then you would know it is used as collateral.

Example? After the disgusting loss at home to Villa on the final day, the club decided to mention in an article how the amount of peope who showed up in the final few home matches of the season is proof of how many believe in Wenger's vision.

They cannot get away with such cobblers if the ground is three quarters empty. I repeat: IT IS SYMBOLIC. Gazidis will get the fucking message if the ground is empty.
