Tonights AST end of season review

[Flavs]

What I meant was that whatever the fans express won't make any difference to the board's decisions. Its the same with most clubs, really. If matchday revenue falls - that's another story...

Normally i would agree my friend but i have now been offered 9 season tickets for this season....9. That tells me people have lost the will to live when it comes to watching weak ass football and have become dissalusioned with the club, if what i hear is true then 15% of season ticket holders havent renewed, that will make an impact on the board IMO, yes i know we will fill those seats with reds or commercials but when the reporting gets to stan and Board they will realise something has changed at fan level.

I am also not with these that think the board dont know what they are doing, you dont get to be that rich by being a moron, these guys know what they are doing its just that what they are doing seems to be best for them not us at the moment, no-one was moaning when we were winning and i should think the board were lining their pockets then as well. I also dont hold with this belief that Stan wont change anything, he has a reputation and track record for making demands of his management as they are representing his business essentially. Yes Arsene has gone of kilter somewhere but even with our shocking collapse we still finished 4th, even with the spending that is going on below us we will be at least 4th again this season.

All is not well at the club but its a long way from being as bad as people are making out

Its not as bad, no - but undoubtedly we are now losing some of the lustre that we built up in the early 00's, and while the manager is more likely than not a fading force, our competitors are increasing in number. Add that to the fact that clearly there is an issue with the committment and mentality of our players, and its not looking too pretty, TBH.

Well i do worry about champs league footie next year with both Spurs and the scouse undoubtedly going to be better but i will judge it on the 1st day of teh season when i see our staring line up, if its the same old shit playing the same shit way then yes, even I will join the negativity bandwagon. However if we are playing a more robust tactic with some new faces in there, and they dont have to even be these experienced winners people keep going on about, they just have to have the fight to make a stand when needed, then i will be chuffed and optimistic about the upcoming season.

What worries me is that Wenger says he would have to spend a great deal to get in players that would make a difference but i look at other teams players and i can see outstanding performers, maybe not the best ability or technically wise but certainly the standout players and i think "well we could get him for 5,6,7mil and he would make a BIG difference but i know Wenger wouldnt touch them with a very long bargepole.
