I’ll never understand the need for external investment. It’s completely unnecessary on so many levels.
The first step is to have a well defined, organised and successful structure within the football operations on and off the pitch. We need to get smarter and more efficient with contracts and transfers dealings incoming and outgoing. On the pitch we need a talent manager with a successful system.
Arsenal are in a vulnerable position right now which is why people are calling for owner investment but the truth is we need to sort our football operations before anything else and have clearly defined ideals when it comes to playing style and approach to transfer dealings.
If you look at United post SAF, significant investment did not yield results propionate their size as a club or the level of investment utilised. Money doesn’t shorten transitions it only compounds preexisting errors in policy which makes the transition longer.
We can make positive changes by gutting this squad of players who aren’t delivering performance propionate to the level of investment we made. We need to be absolutely ruthless in trimming the fat and getting this club lean. That applies to everybody including the manager
I don’t know about that. It certainly looks like money shortened the transition for Liverpool, granted that wasn’t all from external investment it was largely reinvestment from Suarez and Coutinho.
Although the landscape of football has changed, what were Liverpool doing in the post Benitez era until Klopp came along? That’s a solid 5 years of inconsistency with 3 sacked managers
The FSG were widely seen as incompetent. Liverpool transfer policy was sporadic riddled with expensive flops and the side had no semblance of style on the pitch until Rodgers came along, even then Klopp has completely transformed the club with his strong sense of direction.
It laughable when I see Liverpool lauded as a success story, they landed on the right person at the right time. Their ownership deserves no credit for standing back and letting Klopp for his thing undisturbed.
The thing with Liverpool is they were shit but for a couple of years and then they build a solid project that now flourish, meanwhile we’ve been shit for a decade and there isn’t a project or at least is it in the very beggining and all of us don’t want to be shit anymore. It isn’t Emery’s fault but it is what it is.
The club had generated quite a fortune for the owner… And if external investment is not enough, it is time for the owner to invest back and get through the tough time.
This is called responsible owner.
Kroenke? He is not.
He’s a cunt because he’s bucking the trend of building a stadium with tax payer dollars?
Kroenke remains a convenient bogeyman for fans to attack for no good reason. The attacks are nonsensical these days but the simpletons will eat the media spin all day
And the stadium is mostly going to be paid for through PSL’s lllelelelel ppl are clueless, need to actually read and be less ignorant of the facts tbh.
Stan has come out and said his ambition at Arsenal is to win / contend for the CL and PL, so until it looks like we’re showing the ambition to do that he’s going to come under microscope from all parts.
so what do you want a cookie? of course billionaires buy clubs for money making. So what do you want? Its either that or be a club that is rentboy club which he stacks debt against whilst being a plaything like abramovich. Do you think Usmanov would have bought AFC for glory or anyone else, gimme a fucking break.
What is his allegiance to us?
He has proved that when we are desperate he couldn’t care less and will never invest any of his own money in the club.
Since he has bought us we have dropped out of the top four and have shown no ambition.
In the transfer market have done nothing more than the bare minimum.
Since you seem to be his biggest fan I’m sure you must be quite happy about the way he is running the club.
What would it take for you to realise that he is dragging us down to where CL football is going to spurs rather than us, and seeing all of our rivals pull away even further?
who said i am his biggest fan. I am saying he gets villified for all the clubs problems when a lot of them yes maybe he is partially to blame but he put people in charge that he thought was doing a job but they fucked this club up and they are gone and he has put in place others that are trying to get things straightened out.
What would you rather have, a person that stays out of the clubs business or an owner like abramovich always getting involved loaded the club with 1bn of debt fuck knows what will happen to chavski if anything happens to him. Or would you rather the club use its own resources and not be owing anything. Cant have it both ways…and why does he need to spend we have enough money to get stuff done its just been fucking awfully mismanaged so far and we need to get things sorted out. Why in the fuck if he was gonna put money into the club would he do so right now when the club doesnt even spend its own money right. Would you put your money into a business that has been mismanaged and is terrible with its own funds even thought they make enough when you can just get rid of the shit and basically get them using what they make effectively.
He might get over abused at times but its fair enough to put some question of negligence against him, when things have been spiraling out of control for 5 years or so.
Up to him to ask a few questions and get some new blood in here and get things fixed. Not asking for anything more than a bit of incompetence sorting out.
I agree with this, hence what i said, he put too much faith in gazidis and wenger and it wasnt until he got his son to look deeper last year that they saw how badly things were mismanaged that things got done…shouldnt have taken him this long so he is guilty of believing too much in what he had and not investigating enough and have a more active roll.
He certainly isnt blameless but at the same time the amount people chuck on him like every single result every bad decision everything wrong at this club is him…it is all you hear especially from twats like troopz etc and people on aftv ‘fuck kroenke, kroenke out’ we wouldnt be in this mess if it wasnt for him buying his ranch etc’ just fucking stupid.
Ultimately it’s Kroenke’s fault.
He doesn’t invest his own money like when we were desperate in the seasons where, for the sake of buying a couple of defenders or a striker, we missed on the PL title because he didn’t get us the players in positions we needed that was obvious to everyone
If you’re saying it’s not his fault because the club has been run badly, then it’s still his fault because he is the person who hires and fires the people who are responsible.
It’s not like this has just happened, it’s been happening for ages.
We’re perpetually short of quality.
Our best players keep leaving because they can see by our pathetic transfer windows we aren’t interested in challenging the PL or CL.
We have seen spurs and Liverpool, who are far less profitable than us, overtake us, as well as Man City, Chelsea and Man U.
He kept hold of a manager that was dragging us down for far too long.
Our transfers in and out of the club are abysmal and whoever does the contract negotiations is worse.
Kroenke is responsible for al the things wrong with this club, either through lack of investment or employing clowns masquerading as people that have the job of running a top European football club.
He clearly has no idea what he is doing, and neither do the people he employs, and he obviously isn’t going to spend any of his own money to get us out of this mess, so why doesn’t he just sell up to someone who at least shows an interest in the club?
actually kroenke wasnt fully responsible for things until he got his hands on all of the shares really. When he was majority shareholder he couldnt just make decisions and run with them without consent from others i dont reckon.
Yet again you keep on harping on about investment, but i think the rules have changed as regards that anyway and as i said earlier the club doesnt need investment it needs to stop wasting fucking money like wenger and co were doing. we are in this state because of how stupid they were with transfers etc and the wages. AFC have more than enough money, why would he need to invest, arsenal can use their own money to get out of the shit and an overhaul will take time regardless.
If he did invest then he aint gonna buy out of his own pocket no fucking owner does, so then he would load the debt against the club they everyone will be bitching and moaning about that. So you want him to invest his own money and not hold it against the club…that will NEVER happen. So you dont want the debt against the club, so he doesnt invest his own money takes a back seat hires people to sort this shit out, then it is he doesnt understand we need money its his fault we are like this. The guy cant win no matter what he does.
If you were an owner of a small business that was making good money but the previous employees fucked the books up and were making stupid purchases and making stupid financial decisions would you sit and dole them out money when they have a huge amount of money coming in more than enough to build the company do what needs to be done and pay staff and have huge reserves. You would come in year and give them £1m out of your own pocket and say here you go take this, and not even want it back. How does that solve anything? You would sack the cunts that fucked the business up get someone in to fix shit and then leave them to spend correctly and have a huge profit margin…and dont say otherwise.
