Hill-Wood,Kroenke & Gazidis OUT. Usmonov & Dein IN

Arsenal FC needs change, from top to bottom we have major problems at our club.

I know that some of you are going to disagree about this but if you look at a few facts I think you will start to see were I’m coming from.

Our current board with Peter Hill-Wood, Stan Kroenke and Ivan Gazidis are nothing more then pathetic clueless clowns who have taken this club to an all time low.

They are telling the fans that we are running a risk free “self-sustaining business model” so they dont put the future of the club in danger. But they are blind to the fact that success on the pitch will result in benefits off the pitch.

For years we have sold off our best players and that money has vanished into a black hole.

Hill wood recently said that “Our transfer policy is to give the manager a budget which includes the ability to use all the money from player sales.

Of course this isn’t the case as we sell players for £25m and replace them with a player worth £3m…£70m in profit this year. What happened to the money from sales of Adebayor and Toure even before that?

The way Gazids and the board have overlooked this summers transfer dealings is nothing more then just small time and embarrassing.

We all knew that Cesc and Nasri would be sold! Why wait till the last wks of the transfer window and into the start of the season to allow them to leave?.. Oh yes thats right so we could make a few more £m out of the deal. But what that Homer Simpson looking bog eyed twat failed to see is that we are now going to have to spend MORE on replacements. Now everybody knows we have money to spend and are desperate so the prices have gone up.

And with 3 days to go there are no sign of replacements for Cesc or Nasri, or Clichy.

Notice I used the word “replacements” .. Not strengthening! We haven’t been good enough for a number of years. We haven’t gone out and strengthened the team for years. All Wenger and the board have done is sold high and replaced them with cheap unknown players to paper over the cracks.

Who was the last player we signed that sent out a real statement of intent and pleased the fans?

We have been lied to for years. We have been told that the reason we moved from Highbury was to allow the team to be able to compete with the elite and will also give the manager the funds to be able to go out and sign the best players in the world… What a load of bullshit that was!

So why are we selling our best players to our rivals and making them stronger?

Stan Kroenke is just pointless. what has he done since investing into the club? Nothing apart from overlooking the sale of our 2 best players this summer and the increase of tickets so we now pay the highest in Europe.

With all this in mind we need change at Arsenal and its now time for Alisher Usmanov and David Dein to be allowed to try and save this club.

Lets face it it cant get any worst.

A word on our manager Mr Arsene Wenger! He is NOT totally blameless in all of this. For years he has said things like, this is the greatest bunch of players I have ever had. And I will only sign players if they are better then what we have. Screw me Arsene but we haven’t won anything since 2006. Wake up and smell your own bullshit. The board have said you have money to spend. go out and spend it on players we need like Gary Cahill and stop faffing around on a penny pinching mission and players from French who like Chamakh take time to settle “if” at all.

People have said that Wenger is covering for the board and doesn’t have the money to spend. Well if that is the case then I’m sorry I have no respect for the man and he should do the right thing and resign. But hang on he is on £6m and year and rewarded for making a profit. Why would a manager motived by money do that…Arsene knowns that his job is safe and will never be sacked and thats the heart of all our problems.

But its not just about the lack of spending that pisses me off about Wenger, Look at the tactics? 4-5-1 and we lose 8-2. He wont change and cant because he is blind to the truth.

Over the next few days I’m sure you will see a few signings. But not whats needed and certainly you wont see ALL the money reinvested into the team. You will see a few cheap panic signings and thats it…. More lies, Wenger hinted at Benzema! We dreamed of signing Mata, Kaka, and Hazard. And will will end up with the Korean Pele who looks world class on youtube but isn’t any better then Vela, Bendtner or Chamakh…. We have defensive problems and whats Arsene doing? Signing a Korean striker… The man is just a genius.

And now a word for the AKB who for years have shouted us down and told us to F@k off and support spurs every time we questioned Wenger. Its fans like you who are as much to blame then any player. Your blind support is the reason why Wenger has been allowed to get away with this for so long and the reason we are where we stand today. “in Arsene we trust” “Arsene knows”…”If you dont like it go and support Man City”, “Who is going to replace him” ..”If Arsene leaves the club all our best players like Cesc will leave with him”…

Thats your answer to everything and for years you have shouted us down with crap like this.

Its time that we stood up and united, all the bloggers, people on facebook, twitter and fans from all over the world. We need change and its time we stood up and said so. Spend some f@king money, if you cant then step down and allow other people a chance.

    I’d like to hear Kroenke’s take on it.

  3. Goonerak says:

    The problem with football today is that it is not possible for any club to be run on a slef-sustaining model. Arsenal only manage it by regularly selling players. The other clubs in the Premier League are all in debt (either to the bank or to the people that own the club).

    Arsenal are trying to play by the book, especially with the introduction of UEFA’s financial fair play rules. It will be interesting to see what UEFA do when they realise that the CL doesn’t quite have the same pulling power without Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and AC Milan.

    Arsenal’s options are

    a) borrow a load of money (£200m – £300m) and run at a loss, hope to win something to placate the fans but not play in the CL.
    b) continue as they are doing but remain relatively solvent.

  4. gooner87 says:

    It’s getting harder and harder to defend what Arsenal are doing. We need Dein back !

  5. Joe says:

    How do you sack someone who owns 60%+ of the football team?

  6. Mark says:

    The Arsenal Board are happy to take our money for tickets and merchandise but are not willing to spend some money on players. Time we started boycotting games until they start spending some money on players. You can help save our team by doing one of the following: Boycott future games until we spend 70 Million on new players or Bring a red card with you to the games! Lets show the red card to Wenger and the Board

  7. Michael says:

    I totally agree with your article and completely support the action! We need Dein and Usmonov fast!

  8. jonathan chawora says:

    How about an anti-Kroenke demo at the emirates, just before the next home game. I dont think sacking Wenger is the answer. However Kroenke is definitely a Gilliette-Hicks clone. He should go and Usmanov is the man. He will bring back Dein to rein in Arsene Wenger and he will spend more than Abromavich. Come on the Arsenal.

  9. rotterdam gunner says:

    u said all i would said am 100% behind that ,i was one of the ppl whoe truely trust wenger but after 6 years telling us all that crap and then the sale of fab $ nas with out no replacements i said sack wenger ,we need new blood bro,ppl whoe would feel the pressure to b arsenal manager if they dont win silverwear. ps:didnt sleep last night switch my phone of tooo

  10. Col says:

    I’m of the opinion that wenger has no money and kronke is just here to take money from the club. He wants to make money so selling fab and nasri gives hima nice little earner ! If this is the case then we are done as a top club whilst he is in ownership. Apparently we were after lucho from marseille but didn’t want to buy him for £7m but instead pay £2m to loan him for the year !!! Why ?! Doesn’t make sense and I amid the opinion that kronke is asset stripping the club and will then get out having made a fortune, hopefully I’m wrong !! He’s not a fan, hasn’t said a word and doesn’t care one jot about us, why would he !

  11. Olaniyi says:

    Pls bring cahil, hazard a new striker pls ibeg, bcs wenger is adisgrace 2us

  12. Smudger says:

    Bringing in Usmanov would make it a million times worse, as we’d have a corrupt criminal who tries to prevent free speech (based on his attempts to silence the blogs who pointed out his criminal activity) in charge of the club. Serious change is needed, but with 3 days left to fix it all, you’d have to hope it’s a change in policy from the incumbent board/management as it’s too late to rip it up and start again.

    Your rudimentary grasp of English is quite embarrassing too, I’d work on that before your next post.

  13. yty says:

    The board is a bunch of greedy yankees and hapless Brits – they enjoy the status quo and continue raping the true fans with ticket price hikes etc. Wenger is covering them by taking all the flak because of the confidentiality clause in his contract, but even he is starting to leak it /see his latest interview after the mauling where he mentions wages/. Either Kroenke will expand our wage structure so that we can keep our best players and attract our primary targets /Mata/ instead of them joining direct competitors, or sell his stake to the Uzbekh and disappear from the club. Wenger should stay!

  14. William Wallace says:

    At last someone says what we’re all thinking! So what are gona do about it then?! Organise something we as fans have to show this isnt acceptable. I for one will be there.

  15. stuart says:

    If i were a samuri i’d fall on my sword for overseeing the team yesterday. United had the same amount of players out as we did yesterday and it did not matter. Their quality of squad player, determination and tactics of Sir Alex were spot on.

    We have a full blown crisis on our hands and something has to be done about it. If Wenger is still clutching at the straws of project youth. He did it at Monaco and was sacked for it. For the past three years the press, ex players, celebrities and lastly the fans have seen where we have had problems in our squad and tactics.

    I think thecreason our star names have left is that they lost faith with the manager and the tactics he played. Signings have been promised and never really been delivered. As stated, Kaka, Mata and others we have been in for but can’t or won’t pay the money for.

    For me its the time for change is long overdue, Wenger and the board need to go. Dein and Usmanov need to come in and sort this all out and quickly.

  16. Wubagunner says:

    we do not need wenger and his little kids

  17. baz says:

    Completely agree.. PHW has been a cancer for the club. Someone needs to drive him to a care home, I’ll even do it myself out! Gazidis is a business man, not a sports man. He can talk the talk, but he certainly can’t walk the walk. Was watching his body language during the first leg of the Udinese tie, and i’ll tell you what, he didn’t give a sh#t! What has Kroenke done since his takeover? Nothing. He might be successful in his other ventures, but at the end of the day he is a yank, and yanks no f#ck all about football, just ask liverpool.

    We should be allowed transparency into the dealings at the club. You think if Man U or chelsea went six years without a trophy and got thumped 8-2, their board would hide away like ours? NO, they’d explain what is going on.

    I was at the game, and i’ll tell you something, us 3000 fans that made the journey supported the arsenal up until the final whistle. Even after going 6-2 down, 7-2 down, 8-2 down, he sung to our hearts content! We knew we wouldnt win, we knew we’d get trashed but we still made the journey and supported the team.

    One final rant, Rosicky should have his contract torn up and sent packing. Not only is he sh#t but he is a disgrace. He is one of the only few senior players at the club and the way he behaved during rooney’s freekick was atrocious. He honestly DID NOT GIVE A SH#T! That is what our youngsters look up to, is it any wonder they’re overwhelmed?

  18. agee says:

    i thought marco van basten and dein were available. Sack wenger before it gets toooooo late. He celebrates fourteen yrs of champions league and forgets the part where he has won nothing in europe. The fans should do to the board what they did to mubarack, gadaffi etc. Revolution is what we need at arsenal fc.

  19. ArsenalLoyal says:

    Well witten article…agreed…bring back Mr.Dein & Usmanov…..replaced the Board…but we should retain Arsene ..all will be well..ARSENAL will be No.1 again…

  20. baz says:

    oh and i cant wait to see this £3m korean megastar, NAHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. russell says:

    As your headline says get rid of the current board bring in from and the Russian but keep wenger.

  22. david maina says:

    at this rate we should start planning for championship football at emirates for next season. Arsenal is not capable of beating any team in the premiership. May be thats when the board and wenger will leave. Obviously one of them has become incompetent and the other cannot act

  23. William Wallace says:

    Smudger ask city or chelsea fans if they dont feel in high sprits this morning based on the moral fibre of the arabs and russian respectivly?!

  24. Adedoyin says:

    I totally agree with u,I can’t believe my team was disgrace yesterday.
    Want to hear what the Board had to say

  25. Cooley Kenya says:

    I totally agree with you a 100% let the fool buy great players of pack off and go. Demonstrations will do better to chase these misers in our great Arsenal.

  26. Ay says:

    It is high time wenger buy experience players rather than using crap like jenkinson,traore,jorou

  27. Blexx says:

    Did u get the point or your concern is about someones english as if you founded it.twat!

  28. Ayodeji says:

    Arsene Wenger is a failure.

  29. Eblaze says:

    How much was clichy sold 7m and offer 6m for a ply like cahill does this make sense .spend some money you old f**king moron on replacement like baines,cahill,hazard.

  30. arnold says:

    goddamn bussines.arsenal is the most rich club.we r player factory not player costumer.fuck arsenal board and u wenger just go buy a 16 old for 1 m and then sell him for 30 m fuck off.

  31. Col says:

    Rosicky on that free kick … Disgraceful !! Didn’t care if it went in or not, but had it come back off the bar he’d have been a fat lot of good looking the wrong way !!

  32. muyiwa says:

    I completely agree with your write up, the Arsenal board are playing with our emotion while the continue making money to our detriment, you made 70million and you cannot reinvest half of it to strengthen the weak area in the team. The club will no more be attractive to players, because the will see Arsenal as a team that lack ambition. Maybe we should not blame Cesc, Nasri and Ebue for leaving, they may be seeing something we are not seeing.

  33. DICKTO says:

    AW should have resigned if he was interested in buying players and the board didnt allow him ,the fact that he just sit there measarably means he is part of the problem.Our mighty Arsenal have become a laughing stoke. Its the high time something is done otherwise Arsenal is gone.

  34. Vladmire says:

    We true need a change in the board, is Wenger by any means answerable for what is happening? Definetly YES he doesn’t look interested in signing proven player. We need DAVID DEIN BACK, in Arsene we don’t trust!

  35. KAYCEE says:

    Am very hapi 4 this article, wenger has continually fed us with his lies of how we are going to win the league year in year out but the truth of the matter is that the have no plans of wining anything so long as they keep making money from qualifying for champions league and from the tickets.I think is time that fans bycott matches involving arsenal.

  36. NOBBY says:

    A LOT OF TRUTH IN WHAT YOU SAY, BUT WER’E NEVER GOING TO GET £40m PLAYERS AT £90 GRAND A WEEK WAGES. IF THATS THE BEST WE CAN PAY AND STAY SUSTAINABLE, THEN WE SHOULD LOOK AT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF PROFESSIONALS AT THE CLUB, SOMETHING LIKE 65 I BELIEVE, THATS RIDICULOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER WHEN THE FIRST XI ARE NOT AVAILABLE. COME BACK D.D. AND DO SOME DEALS WE HAVEN’T WON A THING SINCE HE WAS WRONGLY BOOTED OUT.

  37. joro hudu says:

    i totally agree with you, asene deceived the fans by saying, we will not sell our player, we will only buy more experience player to improve the team were are those promises. the only for them to give others to try there style, we are tired of trophyless. let them go(kroenke and his crew even the coach should joint them)

  38. kevin heady says:

    In 25 years of being an arsenal fan i’ve never seen a team who rolled over and died like that, its a disgrace some of those player should never be allowed to wear our shirt again pure disgrace!!
    Time for change after 6 years of the same bullshit i’ve had enough!! Changes have to be made from board to the manger and playing staff!! This is a club in freefall mark my words and unless arsenal fans stand up and finally find their voices we’re done for!!! If you know your history arsenal were the club who showed the way when it came to transfers now we’re being outspent by shite such as stoke and sunderland!!! Bring Back Dein and lose the deadwood!!
    ARSENASL TILL I DIE

  39. Bolanle Deji says:

    wenger but after 6 years telling us all that crap and then the sale of fab $ nas with out no replacements i said sack wenger ,we need new blood bro,ppl whoe would feel the pressure to b arsenal manager if they dont win silverwear. ps:didnt sleep last night switch my phone of to

  40. Brown Agwu says:

    Looking at d conditions at hand now,i think both d manager and d board need total changing..Gunners 4life.

  41. uwandu saint larry says:

    The time has come for the egg heads at arsenal fc to f@k out of emirates.Arsenal fans this is the time for you all to rise up and chase them ,Hillwood,stan Kroenke,Garzidis including wenger if he has nothing more to offer us. YOU can’t imagine the humiliation yesterday in the hands of Man u,i couldn’t sleep last night bcos one egg head refused to buy good players after selling his best players to his arch rivals,what a shame.PLEASE i beg you arsenal fans in UK to as a matter of urgency to stop going to Emirates to watch wenger and his baby players,let only the board and management be watching their $1m signing.YOU don’t invest $500,000 hoping to reap $200m.invest big and you get good dividend.WENGER it now or NEVER.YOU have the money to even buy cristiano ronaldo,go for the best not cheap french players who finds it difficult to adapt to the system of play in EPL,like chamakh who is a total FAILURE.GO for the likes of modric,iniesta,ozil,xavi,messi,sneider,offer the money and let the world know your intents,make us proud again WENGER,i beg you.GOD bless all ARSENAL FANS and FAITHFULS,but not Hillwood and co.

  42. cypriot says:

    the thing is, how do you force a guy like Kroenke to sell when he is buying even more shares?!

    and what about an in-stadium protest, maybe everyone wearing black shirts,
    or having banners with the old Arsenal crest or something?

  43. idsjfos says:

    I like how the deluded ‘in arsene we trust’ fans still say, we don’t have any money to spend, stop being mean to wenger! we will still get in the top four! hahaha

    Even if wenger through 50 million at lille for hazzard, eden wouldn’t go. Why would he? Your best plyers are RVP and vermulean and a 19 year old. Managers crazy and will never strenght the team even with atleast 60 million war chest. Fans hate the board and manager for good reason. WILL NEVER win a trophy again even if arsene is sacked. Why would anyone move to arsenal? I hope they get relgated this season it would be hilarious hahahahah

  44. thorny says:

    I run my own business. The law says that only if something is “Faulty” are you entitled to a full refund. Arsenal is “Faulty”. The board will listen if we all send back our memberships for a full refund.

  45. Mad Gooner says:

    Fuck Arsenal Director for your salary structure, you just make Arsenal the worst club in Europe. As for Stan Kroenke, we don’t need your fucking silent at this point of time. Since Arsenal Management is not working, we need you to calm the situations. If you like your fucking silent just sell Arsenal who like to management AFC.

    I hate my self as an arsenal fan just because of the type of coach we have. 100% I agree with you on all you have written in this article. Arsene Wenger is a dummy!

  48. Mr Angry Bird says:

    Yes…We need a change in Board….If Wenger will not quit then wait until he gets sacked….
    The board is simply happy with huge profit. So far AFC aka “Arsenal Business Club” now “Arsenal Comedy Club”. We already have more than 8 forward players and once more signing South Korean Striker….What an idotic move…..I have no word to describe this…..Sick Wenger.

    Whatever brings David Dein back, I’m all for that. Nevermind Vieira, Henry, Pires, Cesc. Arsenal biggest loss was the ruthless negotiating skills of DD. After he left we haven’t been able to sign jack.
    With him we signed our targets.
    Dein also tried to convince the board to just give Cashley the £60K a week he demanded to stay. But the rest of the board knew better and offered Cole £55K/W. WTF was the point of that?

    It all started to go downhill when they forced DD out of the club. GET HIM BACK!!!!
    Dein knew what needed to be done, but when the rest of the board started to overrule him at every turn he sold his shares to the russian and left the club.

    Granted, he did go behind their back a few times, but he knew it was needed and that the board was taking the club in the wrong direction.

Speak Your Mind
