How do we get rid of Stan Kroeke and Ivan Gazidis?

[Dicks and chicks]

Scarves could work, but seriously a number of people on this site have been complaining about them without offering any solutions as to how to get rid of them.

Better question would be, how do you stop a vampire sucking blood? You can't, they have to suck blood to survive. That's just the kind of creature they are, it's in their nature. They aren't going anywhere until they get what they came for, which is a ~£200mill return on investment, which is very achievable within the next 5 years.

if you get rid of the vampire the vampire stops sucking blood.

Will never happen. You can't even break into their home, drive a steak through their heart and torch the place without some politically correct whiner having a fit.

Gazidis and Kroenke are too different issues surely, Kroenke is the silent owner who buys these sports franchises purely as a money making venture, he doesn't invest any of his own capital in it and he makes a bit of money in return (the only difference from before is where the money went to the various shareholders it mainly goes to him now). Gazidis is the burke that the board in their infinite wisdom allowed Arsene Wenger to interview for the position, which shows if anything Wenger is getting a bit insecure in his old age so he hired a boss that would be too incompetent to question anything he did.
I personally am not against the idea of self-sufficiency, but i'd like a bit more transparency from the board about how the money the fans spend on the club is getting used......the wage bill is bloated by crap players milking off it...but if you open your eyes and look around it's the same everywhere.
The man thing i want to change is preventing the situation we seem to have got ourselves for the last few years where we are selling players entering the last year of their contracts, and because we balls up the situation so totally by not putting replacements in place in time so if we do have to sell them we can move on (as we have done in the past) or use harder negotiating tactics to tie these people down to deals.
I'd like to know what the business model is for the club in terms of expanding it's marketing abroad and corporate sponsorship to levy the financial pressure on fans from gate receipts and store purchases.
I'd like to know that when a lot of our current sponsorship deals expire in 2014 will new deals be renegotiated to bring in further revenue.
Is the sale of our top players been used to ease the club's debt burden and if so is there any likely end in sight with this.

There's really only one way to get what you want, you have to hit them where it hurts....in the pocket. If they see revenues dropping they'll soon change their stance.

Problem is right now they can basically do whatever they want and treat fans any way they like, there's so confident there's no repercussions that they just don't give a sh*t....it's sad but it's true....they basically are having a laugh at the fans expense.

I don't think that's true. The thing is, under Wenger we've never done that 'badly'.
OK, the lack of trophies has been a disappointment but we've stayed top 4 and have CL football every season.
If we fell into mid-table and if the football became boring (some think it has but it's still a damn sight better than Graham's boring boring Arsenal tedium) then the attendances would fall. Back in those days we struggled to fill Highbury charging far less than we do now. There's no way we'd fill the Emirates with mid-table, boring football.

We need to have a truly horrible season, 1 year of mid table mediocrity should see them either change their ways or leave. Or we can go down the Newcastle route and get relegated.

Sack AW and that would be the most important step!
