    And yet the fans do nothing about it.. simple question for everyone.. Other than sitting on our arse and doing nothing, what can we the fans do for the club to try and make a change at the board level? And Managerial level?

    Unless anyone here is on the Forbes list, there really isn't anything that can be done

    Even if everyone cancelled their season tickets, a whole army of people is there to take its place

    If it was that easy to challenge vested interests we'd have had meaningful banking reforms

    This is weird to me when you say there is an army of people ready to take its place. Why!?!? We play boring football and we dont look like challenging for any top honors. Why are people so ready to lap up this serving of bland average football? Surely Chelsea is a better bet for the bandwagoners to go to..

    Stop going to games. Stop buying merchandise.
    The only real power we have as fans is that we, ultimately, are paying for it all.
    But only if people stop going en masse would there be any incentive to change
    I stopped going a couple of years ago (not as a protest) but I'm sure someone else is there instead so what do the board care?
    The money is still rolling in one way or another.

    Stop trying to ruin everything. You clearly still have toys in your pram. Therefore: you want Wenger to stay forever, you think he's the best manager and (more importantly) the best tactician in the world, you also think he shouldn't sign defenders, you want the ticket prices to be higher, you'd rather finish 4th than 1st and you want some of our players not to be sold. Once and for all - do you get that?

    Because the focus shifted from football to revenue during the stadium move and it doesn't seem to have shifted back since, or else it hasn't shifted back as dramatically as it shifted away. We have a different philosophy as a club now. We are supreme winners on the balance sheet rather than on the pitch and we have a manager who bought into the business plan wholeheartedly and evidently has changed beyond recognition from the early days when it was all about winning on the pitch. So the question becomes, who, if anyone, can change the philosophy of the club. Won't be Kroenke, that's for sure. This will be a blissful situation for him, much in line with his other franchises. I wonder can we tempt Fergie out of retirement? Boots would be flying in no time.

    Rumbled.

    I think Wenger's the best manager in Arsenal history.

    Chelsea are a better bet for the band-waggoners now but we had a fairly sustained period of success, 7 years of trophies, great football, fantastic players. We were a big club to begin with and that period generated a massive global fanbase, a whole generation of kids who are now stuck with Arsenal as their team.
    Some idiots even come all the way from America to watch us
    Them

    Do you feel inclined to support Chelsea ?

    There are enough people on the waiting list to become season ticket holders for the club not to panic

    We are the third biggest supported club in the country, club allegiance isn't as fluid as you think
