We've been spoilt for choices.
I don't remember what other clubs commercial streams were like back then but for us it was likely the stadium project that really grounded us financially, regardless of commercial activity. I mean look at our transfer business after the 2002 title win, penny pinching doesn't even begin to describe it. Thankfully Wenger was still a good enough coach to cope and we already had some worldies to keep us going.
But yeah, different men for different times. I don't really have much against Gazidis, I think he's done relatively well on the commercial side. Dein I believe was more closely involved with the team, he had a lot of personal relationships with the players and was more of a confidant for Wenger, where as Gazidis was strictly business.
I remember when I heard about how bad our kit sponsorship deal was and how long we were tied into to it. It was part of why they said we needed a bigger stadium because our sponsorship deals were crap and we were tied into the Nike one for a long time.
Dein experienced more success on the pitch. Ivan more with our current infrastructure. It looks like we have Raul and some other guy from the commercial deal department to replace Ivan so hopefully we get the best of both worlds.
This guy has it spot on about Gazidis and his legacy, at 7:09 on the video!

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Anybody catch the recent football weekly podcast? Seemed to be some suggestion from Sid Lowe (I think it was) who did an extensive interview with Santi Cazorla. Sid Lowe seemed to suggest that Cazorla was at least a little annoyed at Arsenal's handling of the situation.
Podcast below if anybody is interested on around 50 minute mark but its referring to a piece written by Sid Lowe published recently with Santi.

Are you talking about Cazorla's injury?
