THE BOARD - Kroenke, Usmanov, Finances, AGM etc.

[armchair]

So, by all accounts then, this new guy at Everton, (Usmanovs mate), if hes " an ambitious owner", will sack Wenger-lite Martinez quick sharp I suppose if he doesnt bring trophies...........
After all hes "fallen in love with the club"

This is a clip that I copied from nfl.com where it spoke about kroenke's LA Rams -

"Los Angeles Rams
Were you surprised when you heard the Rams were discussing a contract extension with coach Jeff Fisher? You weren't alone. The Rams have gone 7-8-1, 7-9, 6-10 and 7-9 under the coach, clinching the title of the Football's Most Relentlessly Mediocre Franchise in the process"

Like I said earlier in this thread, kroenke rewards mediocrity and his sports organisation lives off it Again it leads to the question about what type of sports "expertise" kroenke's company brings to our club to merit the £3m per season "bonus" - clearly it isn't advice on how to build a winning franchise/club

[goonersid]

Usmanov is full of shite and has never made a serious attempt to take control of the club he will no doubt sell his share if a profitable offer comes his way

You see this is my issue with "movements" like BSM. It's great they're doing something but...yet again, they've turned this strictly into a Stan Kroenke only issue. Yet again, too scared to really confront the actual problem. Let's blame Kroenke for years of failure, not strmgthening in the transfer window and let's complete ignore that Kroenke's biggest ally is the dickhead in a puffer jacket that sits in the Arsenal dugout

[DB10GOONER]

For me, they all (Wenger, Kroenke, Ivan, the Board) must take the blame. Wenger for not doing his job as manager and the Board and Kroenke and Ivan for not demanding that Wenger do his job and for then not taking the necessary action if he doesn't do his job. We have a manager long past his best, that continuously makes the same mistakes, and that answers to no one. Ludicrous.

And this is the problem. If we ever do get rid of Wenger, we still have to contend the gutless parasites that run the club. What will be asked of Wenger's eventual replacement? Just get us that CL money, that's all. Nothing more.

Absolutely. Yet, all we ever hear in the protests there have been is anger towards Ivan and Kroenke?
I get it that people feel Wenker has "done" more in the past with his success from a different era. Fact is though, that if these movements were smart they'd see that Wenker is the ultimate bullet-proof best for Kroenke and Gazidis. And once we can get him out the way, the ire can and should rightly redirect to Kroenke and Gazidis. As soon as Lord A-hole is gone, Kroenke and Gazidis will be in the spotlight.

Plans for away ticket prices to be capped at 30 quid announced by PL. Also follows Liverpool's humiliating climb down on ticket prices after their protest against Sunderland where their fans walked out and their players let a paedophile score.

Shame that we can't be fucked organising anything. Maybe it's time to pull the Sod Off Jabba banner out?

Kroenke speaking at some sports conference in the US this evening....

Stan Kroenke - “Arsene Wenger has an economics degree and runs our club very very effectively” #SSAC16

There we have it folks.

[Sean]

Hasn't it been said here that TOF's degree is two-bob and no longer relevant after '30 years'?

He's an amateur bank manager masquerading as a football manager

[northbank123]

An undergraduate degree 30 years ago isn't worth the paper it's written on.

I have loads of mates who have economics degrees from excellent universities and i wouldn't trust their financial predictions one bit. But listen to some people and Wenger should be running the Treasury.

[Perryashburtongroves]

Here's the article. My favourite bits are where he talks about how using Arsenal as a learning tool, that Man City's owners might get bored, how we are loyal to a brand and some made-up, impossible bollox about a bloke who flies his helicopter from Cape Town to watch us. That's wonderful because it shows exactly where his priorities lie and it's clearly nonsense about a fucking helicopter flying from South Africa to London.

Heres one for steveo and the #kob's

Can you make a banner that reads:

"Love Arsenal but dislike that Kroenke rewards failure and doesn't put any pressure whatsoever on Wenger"

Catchy enough?
