THE BOARD - Kroenke, Usmanov and Finance

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I thought they "exists for one purpose only – to improve the level of (vocal) support for the Arsenal team when they are playing. That is all."

Note: I should say that the picture was taken yesterday. That's the power of redaction.

This.

The R&W letter is about as convincing as RVP's statement "to the fans". Even mentions a "transfer warchest" to win favour with Sun readers. Are Usmanov and R&W really concerned with the way the club is being run or just looking to gain control so they can fill their own pockets?

That banner was serveral years ago when nearly all Arsenal fans didn't want Usmanov.

I maybe wrong but it was either this banner displayed or a similar one from blackscarf that had a cash injection from the Arsenal board! :shock: :oops:

How times have changed!

Just like Abramovich has filled his pockets at Chelsea. :roll:

As for RedAction remember the embarassing march with the we love you Arsene t-shirts :oops: :banghead:

Will it be one of those banners that you display or just make? :wink: :lol:


Serious note I think we'll see some banners this season. "Season of discontent"

Just like Abramovich has filled his pockets at Chelsea. :roll:
In the letter R&W states:

"So what is Red & White's vision for the Club? It is simple. A debt free Club, with a big enough war chest to buy top talent players who can hit the ground running and who can complement the Club's long tradition of developing young players and homegrown talent. Together they can help the Club win the most prestigious trophies — because it is the trophies which are the crowning achievement for everybody at the Club"

Surely this is exactly the same strategy already in place? What else of benefit or new ideas are they proposing to do? This letter is just a lot of hot air in my opinion.

Because discontent only happens when you decide.
