Following the AGM as an information gathering exercise is pointless. It is staged and scripted from start to finish.
The only time they have a strategy tbh tbfQuote:

The really interesting point was when a fan came to the mike and slagged off the situation in which we sold Vermaelen and didn’t buy in a defender.
If people are going to stand up and speak at these AGM's at least say something useful FFS.
Why the fuck didn't we re-sign Cesc when he's better than any of our midfielders would've been a better question. If it meant we'd have to sell Ozil then so be it.
But we also loaned out Jenkinson. I was assuming Chambers was the back up RB. That's where he played for Southampton, right? It just so happens he was able to play CB.Quote:

That sounds about right. The cheapskate in him saw the '2 for the price of 1' sticker and he couldn't help himself. He decided to take a gamble and thought we'd cope since he was already testing Chambers and Monreal as CB's in pre-season.
If he couldn't find the required quality in the Summer, won't it be even more difficult to buy in January?
Indeed what with players price inflation in the January window it's a sellers market.Quote:

It's purely business then, and in any normal business that would be okay. But this isn't normal business, it's football hijacked by business. Nothing normal about it at all, even if has become the norm.Quote:
Keswick also claimed that the appointment of Kroenke's son Josh as a non-executive director in December 2013 "underlines the long-term commitment to the club from Stan Kroenke and KSE"
