It's also not at all hard to see how the board managed to fund and secure its property operation that has ultimately yielded them a stupid amount of cash. For as long as the majority of fans are focused on the wrong problems, nothing can ever change at the club. No point getting rid of a fox in the hen house if the fucking farmer puts another one in the next day either.
I'll reply with just what we have as our starting XI..

Ssxsad- One of the top form goal keepers of the PL right now

Sagna- One of the best RB's in the PL

Per- Solid no nonsense defender

Kos- piece of shit

Gibbs- avg LB

Song- very good CDM. may be positionally suspect but still very solid

Arteta- proven to be a very good CM. Wont set the world on fire but still good

Ramsey- has been great for a below avg Wales team but absolute garbage for us

RVP- one of the best strikers in the PL

Walcott- promising player but completely wasted on the wings

Gervinho- looks to be a good signing

Why am I bring these players up when we are talking about the board? That is because with that starting XI and with TV5, JW, OAC, Flappy, Santos, Ping pong in the squad, we are more than capable of being in the top 5 of the PL. Yes, the board wants profits but so does the Glazers but SAF (like AW) has enough pull to say who they want and dont really need to say why.. If AW can lower Cesc's price by 10 million quid for these 'money grabbing' board members, I am sure he can coax them to spend a 6 million on Scott Parker or sign a defensive coach.

I am sure the board is not without its faults but the reason for us being a complete pile of shit on the field is coz of AW. Board do not do the tactics or play players in their best positions. To put it simply, I'll give the board more time than AW.. I judge AFC as a football club and AW is responsible for that aspect (and more)... I am confident if AW is sacked and replaced even with a donkey, we will get better on the football field.
