If any AISA member is reading this and wants ideas for questions, I know this Forum can supply plenty.

I will chip in for starters:

Why has our defence been a mess for years?

[franksav63]

Yes, the same Ivan who said at the last AST meeting that there will be alot of transfer activity this summer..

I'm a Life Member of AISA but I just can't be bothered to drag all the way to Highbury (sorry - old habits die hard!!) to listen to a slick, American businessman telling yet another pack of lies. Gazidis has neither the power nor willpower to read Wenger the riot act - why would he rock the boat when he's getting very well paid for maintaining the status quo?

I'd rather save my time, money and blood pressure and let Wenger and the Directors have it with both barrels over the coming weeks.

* Whinging at a cozy meeting will change nothing

* 57,000 people booing and screaming at Wenger will change everything!

On the back of what he heard at the AST and the promises he made there, I'm sure Glazidis is not looking forward to it. What are the chances that we announce a new signing tomorrow in order to take a little pressure off Glazidis before the meeting?

Yeah will probably announce the signing of southampton "superkid" ox chamberlain tomorrow so

I hope somebody ask's ivan if this club is our club or arsene wenger's club ? Seems like arsene is making all the decisions and nobody has the balls to pull him into line Somebody tomorrow night will have to ask ivan when the board are gonna start holding wenger accountable for this shit

Gazidis is trained to deal with events like this.

Look for the mock sympathy, the use of the words "I can understand how you feel", and plenty of things that we can all look forward to.

I'm not sure why anyone bothers wasting their time engaging with the guy

well whoever going, grab hold of him and hold him hostage until 4 new signings made

[bradders]

Waste of fucking time All Gazidis will say is exactly what he said at every Question asked last time "I cant go into details i wish i could" "Arsene is doing a great job slurp slurp"

And the AKB sit lapping at every word and then thank Ivan for coming

Ask the Arsene ass licking bald *word censored* what is it exactly he does to earn such a vast wage? Cos he certainly isnt earning it by buying QUALITY PLAYERS or selling our shite ones!!

If anyone really is going and wants to put some sensible questions forward I would suggest:

1. Ivan, what is your 3 year plan for Arsenal ?

2. How do you measure success ?

3. Whilst you talk about inflation being a key reason behind the 6% ticket price increase we couldn't help but notice from the company's half year financial statements that the wage bill at the club is now £8m p.a. higher than last year and a much higher % of revenue. One would suggest that is the real driver behind the ticket price increase - agreed ?

4. Why is it all our transfers, both incoming and outgoing turn out to be long drawn out affairs?

5. Why do the club award long contracts with large salaries to shit players?

I expect the usual at this. Still at least they can hear the fans views even if they don't listen
