“I don’t disagree that it’s important. But we do things based on a value system. We’re about creating star players, not about buying them.
“We’re about what happens in a team, between players, not individual superstars. And that’s an inspiration to people around the world. We can’t afford to compete with oil money and we can’t afford to compete with super-wealthy individuals from Russia.

We’re proud of the way we do things and we’re proud of the results that we’re able to produce from that.” Gazidis described Wenger as one of the best managers in the world but hinted his position could be threatened if the club’s six-year trophy drought continues.

“Nobody has a job for life,” said Gazidis.


So wenger could go if we don't win a thing, Thats how i read it, interesting. It also Seems don't matter wwho comes in with this board things will be done this way for the foreseable.

Should read more like this:

"We're about creating star players then selling them for a massive profit. Not about buying them"

I dont even know what the second line is about. What utter nonnsense.

All he said in the last line is something blatantly obvious. I wont believe that he "hinted" any of that unless it comes out of his mouth directly. The fans will have to drive him out by booing him until he or the club cant take anymore or if the fans stop attending matches. Unless these things happen, we are stuck with him until he runs his contract down.

The board love him. He makes them millions of dollars amd that beats the hell out of winning. Stan is so impressed by what he does, he claims that Wenger is "fantastic and brilliant, he should be putting on seminars" lol. Shame this fantastic and brilliant man has the club sitting 5th in the league and without a trophy in 6 years and it has fuck all to do with the money City has or whoever else has.

Usmanov was arrested and imprisoned in 1980. The website centrasia.ru reports that he and a friend - the son of the deputy head of the Uzbek KGB - were convicted in August 1980 by the Military Tribunal of the Turkestan Military District for "complicity in an official's receiving bribes and extortion" but was rehabilitated by Uzbekistan's Supreme Court in July 2000, which ruled that the case had been "fabricated".

Gazidis is an idiot, he's trying to brainwash the fans into thinking he and the board occupy a higher moral plane compared to City. Bullshit, he's only interested in money, and our so called "value system" is based on profit maximisation through fleecing the fans, with only secondary consideration given to the football side of things. At least the "Oil men" from City seem to care about results. In fact I note a bit of racism in his comments as well. He seems to think that using this populist tone against Russians and Arabs is going to work. I'd much rather have the City owners than our own detached snake-oil salesmen, who come out with worse propaganda than Pravda.

Difference between Usmanov and Kroenke is the former doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. I agree, Usmanov is a piece of shit. If the goal is to find another piece of shit who has cultured his PR image more successfully then I guess we already have just the man. None of these guys get rich by doing charity work. Just because you remove yourself by one degree from the shit that really drives our economies doesn't mean you aren't riding the same train.

Then we spent £50mil on transfers and £30mil on the mortgage is £80mil leavings us with a missing £31mil somewhere and we haven't even sold Arshavin yet (Or almunia, Denilson, Bentdner, Vela and so on)

The Europa cup won't sustain the share price unless there's hard cash backing it up. These things are projected forwards. It sounds like they are trying to ride out the natural consequences of underinvestment until companies like Nike race to the rescue with increased sponsorship deals (let's hope the economy doesn't fall deeper into the shitter in the next couple of years - every indication says it will though). Then we can get back to a place where we can realistically maintain a top 4 spot without too much trouble PLUS (and this is the biggie) make a profit every year. I'm not sure they pay much attention to the prestige the club is losing in the process. It's only prestige in the fans' eyes. To a banker Arsenal must look like a great success. Year on year profits, a strengthening asset book, executives in place who are committed to maintaining the share price. A contingency plan for this lean spell. It's good sound financial management underpinned by a captive market. What's not to love? When people like Gazidis speak it just shows the enormity of the gulf that has developed between the club and the fans. What is important to us is of no consequence to them. What is important to them we are simply excluded from.

What about contract renegotiation, and the agreements we have in place regarding paying our loaned out players? And do you include player salaries for the new lads within that 50mil?

I'm sure there is money to spend, but as we're being tight-arsed cunts who don't take risk. Covering their arses if we don't get in the CL I guess.

I'm sure the Yank has told us not to spend until he gets here....at which point, I'm assuming the old board will be overhauled, and his glitzy team of cowboys will take over the rodeo.

I probably support what the club used to be rather than what it is today. I wonder how long the inertia lasts because the fans can be milked for sure but getting shagged by the farmer as added insult is eventually going to deter at least some of the herd. By then the current crop of cunts raping football will have had their cake though. It's win-win for a few, lose-lose for the rest and nothing can continue under that kind of an arrangement.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has insisted that the club will be looking to add quality, not quantity, to the squad when delving into the transfer window.

Boss Arsene Wenger signed four players near the end of last summer, with Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker, Andre Santos and Park-Chu Young all arriving, in what was perceived by some as 'panic buys'.

But, with the acquisition of Germany international Lukas Poldolski already confirmed, the board member has insisted that all new arrivals will have something new to offer to the team.

"The key for us is not the volume of signings we might make but that the signings we make add something to the squad,” Gazidis told The Guardian.

"That is something Arsène [Wenger] thinks extremely carefully about and for all of the pressure he is placed under, he tends to make good decisions.

"We want to win major competitions. We want to win the Premier League. We want to compete to win the Champions League. That is our ambition. My message to our fans is that we are doing everything in our power to make sure that Arsenal can challenge for trophies next year.

"That is what this summer is about and that is what we are focused on for next year. We have a good team, we have a good young core of players and we need everybody involved to have belief so that we can push forward into next year and make a run at the Premier League trophy and for the Champions League. We believe we can do that."

Gazidis admitted that the assurances of Champions League football have put the club in a healthy position in the transfer market once again.

For much of last season’s campaign, Arsenal were in danger of failing to qualify for the next edition of the tournament, but a 3-2 comeback win over West Brom on the final day secured their entry.

"I think the good thing about this summer is that there is more certainty in terms of our Champions League position," Gazidis continued.

"We have acted early to get the critical signing in Lukas Podolski. Our fans will be able to see him compete at the Euros and see what a very good player he is.

"The great thing about Lukas is that not only can he contribute goals, but he can also play in different positions so you get tremendous versatility and Arsenal class. He is technically a top-class player and that was a good early addition for us."

Not if you had to fit Hitchin's brain in there too. There would be slightly too little space.

considering he''s been dead six months, your main trouble would be extricating what remained of his brain from the rest of his body

Top 5 clubs :lol:

Only if we get rid of people like you


"We get accused of a lack of ambition or complacency because apparently the board are only interested in the top four – that is absolute rubbish. Actions speak louder than words

Glad he's aware of the criticism though. It doesn't mean anything but he can't do anything if he doesn't think there's a problem.

This, no point telling the fans what they want to hear and then do nothing.

Top 5 financially. This is why I got involved with football in the first place. To be in the top 5, financially. A dream finally realised.

'We can be one of the world's top five clubs'

We will be separated away as one of the top five clubs in the world in revenue

So not on the pitch then?

Since Stan came in its always been about money. Hence why we brought park and tried to go Nigeria to branch out to diffrent markets.

Yeh well - there's still his brother Peter - the most loathed journo on the planet.


You need to make allowances for the fact it was Hitchins, if there was something deeply stupid to be said Hitchins was always first on the scene.

Let's face it the bloke is a clown, the day he joined us was a bad day for AFC. Noone knows what the hell he does other than being Wenger's yes man, we pay him for agreeing with Wenger and repeating his words.

i must admit offering wenger a new deal reaches new heights of WUMmery by the board. the hypocrisy is laughable.

let top players run their contracts down but when the board's wealth is jeopardised even in the slightest, they dish wenger a new contract like there's no tomorrow.

then they adhere to a strict wage structure and are adamant it must not go beyond a certain level but hand wenger a pay rise from his already extortionate 130k a week contract. he'll probably be on what, 150k a week? that's ridiculous and insulting.

Just like Wenger assesses his own performance he'll probably decide how much he should get paid.

But yeah it's a joke how little this club cares about it's fans, I know other clubs don't, but not to this level.

Why should club care about fans unless they have something to give them. When have clubs ever cared about the fans. So what if the board over pay AW makes no diffrence if he aint gone what ever they pay him if he is as bad as said then he'd still be the same on what ever payment he is on.

I doubt Wenger told him to come out with what he said. The guy is an educated man i doubt he'd need anyone to tell him what to say.

They do, money and lots of it, but my point is maybe other clubs don't care.....but how many clubs publicly come out and take the p*ss out of the fans like PHW has done....and how many insult their intelligent with constant BS....sorry but I don't know too many.

I just seem him as someone who can spin things to make him and his mates look good, you know alot of naive gooners will read this and think. finally the board etc have seen the light.

Oh yeah i agree, problem with PHW most of what he says is ok, he is just to old school and too old to still be around. but i agree the board do seem to wum alot and take the piss.

I guess had we been winning stuff most would not care but as we havr not it sticks out more.

"We hope and believe that Arsene will be a part of that as we move forward. He is written into our DNA.

"At the same time, as a club, we have to make sure that all of the things that Arsene has brought to the club are enshrined in our DNA to make sure that when the day comes when Arsene decides it's time to hang up his boots - I don't know what the expression is as a manager - that we are in a position to take his ideas and work forward."Fuck please no
