Good Bye RVP!

Little known fact: A few years back an #Arsenal Board member handed over money to a fans group towards an anti-Usmanov banner. Professional?

Absolutely pathetic.

Exactly, you can't call the players greedy and motivated purely by money and then defend the board whose priority is only the financial "bottom line", ensuring healthy stock prices so that they can line their pockets. The greed of the board is 10 times the greed of any player, substantial though the players' greed may be.

I've seen this on twitter a lot as well. A lot of support from Arsenal fans for the board whose snouts are in the trough, even though it's the board that are fleecing the fans and are behaving purely like capitalists.

Nah, that's a load of BS. They're not exactly fleecing the fans, we have stadium debt, transfer fees and player's wages along with all the other millions in overheads. Our board have so far run our club in a financially sound manner, look at Leeds Utd, look at Wimbledon, Portsmouth, look at Rangers - ask yourself why it's only Chelsea and Man City spending ridiculous amounts every summer it's not Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle or Man Utd for that matter...they seem to always sell to spend too. I don't blame the board, Usmanov is a nutcase along with Dein in their statement which said 'pay RVP what he's being offered by other clubs' - all the more reason to keep them as far away from Arsenal football club as possible.

The problem with football today lies with the governing bodies - end of. You want to blame someone...blame the farce that is Blatter and Pratini and their corrupt cronies...talking about financial fair play is all bollocks - they know it, we know it everyone knows it. They support Barcelona and they can't enforce regulations which will effect their team.

Other clubs also have transfer fees, wages and millions in overheads but they don't pass on the costs onto their fans in such a blatant way. If our so called "sustainable" model requires such exorbitant ticket prices, then it's a pathetic model tbh that shouldn't be applied to a football club.

Seriously. You're going to give yourself an aneurysm.
Calm down, dear, it's only a footballer.

You call RVP a money grabbing twat but will defend the board and say you have sympathy for them when they are lining their own pockets? They transfer out our best players every year and make tons of money of those transfers. I am baffled at how people can still defend this board. Its pathetic really.

i dont have any sympathy for the board lining their own pockets however refusing to break the bank to give a player ridiclous wages is something i do have sympathy with them and i think its right.

Granted ticket prices are ridiculous and we get charged the most. But the other london clubs are not far off those prices to be fair. It's all crazy prices. I still have one of my junior gunner ticket stubs from 1992 (v QPR) which cost 4.75GBP, my mum's ticket was 11.00GBP....prices have risen in the last 20 years!
