3. The board loses nothing if Arsenal fails to qualify for Europe - they will still get paid, they will remain in their jobs while Arsenal FC and its fans suffer.

Hahaha,see your life,the board loses MORE THAN SOMETHING MY FRIEND,the honoraria of board members is correlated to the yearly balance sheet of the club.Among other things,ticket sales,player sales,sponsorship deals,sales of club jerseys and souvenirs and earnings from continental tournament contribute a great deal to a positive/enhanced balance sheet.Now that we've nearly sold off ALL the players whose sales could enhance the clubs bottom line without  commensurate replacements and now that the club is doing so badly in the league,if there is fans apathy and we begin to see empty stands and a sharp drop in those sales and if companies now see the club as having a diminished net market worth,surely adverts/sponsorships will drop and you say the board will not loseAgain I want to believe that any board member ought to be a fan of the club also,so whatever would make debosky to suffer as a fan if the club is kicked out of Europe will also make the board members to suffer.

debosky:
1. There is no 'known fact' that Arsene returned any money - that is the story you are fed, but I will not be surprised if this turns out to be false. Arsenal is not in as good a financial shape as is put out.

2. While it is legitimate to demand more from Arsene, Arsenal's failure to win trophies is less to do with Arsene spending as such, but more to do with the astronomical spending by others.

Are you kidding me.I never thought I'd hear of a student whining that the reason he kept failing in exams was not because he refused to read for those exams,but because the other students read too much

Waoooo

debosky:
My opinion has not changed - it is foolish to want your own club to lose a game, regardless of whom the manager is.

On the contrary,I think it's foolish to accept a failed status quo and be afraid to try something else.It's even more foolish for a fan to be so blind as not to see that there's no way a failed formula will give a different result without first changing the formula

So he is truly going ahead to marry Turai wonders shall never cease.The thing wey dey sweet goat na him dey kill am

debosky:
Anyone wishing Arsenal loses games is not worthy of being a follower of this club.

Have your grouses against the manager, but hoping the club gets into trouble is the most foolish approach of all.

It is daft to think it is Wenger only that will be affected if we lost to Udinese - even if he leaves, he'll get a job elsewhere with more pay, while we'll be left with lower income - how can that EVER be good for the club?

As always, emotional responses detracting from logical reasoning yet again.

First off,as a rule,I've sworn not to abuse/attack Arsenal fans on any thread on nairaland,especially the Arsenal fans thread,but watch your tongue cos if you IBB me anymore,then I sure as hell will OBJ you back.See some of us dont like living a lie,I dont see how that equates to daftness and foolishness.There are several tiers of people that matter to a club;The owners/board,the management team/coach,the players,the supporters,the sponsors etc,we all know that when it comes to making quality signings,it's got more to do with the coach than even the board(in this case,the supporters and sponsors have next to no say),it's a well known fact that Wenger has returned money in time past;money meant for buying of quality players and opted to stick with young/relatively unknown signings from across the globe,so he is more to blame for the mess the club is in presently.
However,I strongly believe the board has not done enough to force him to buy quality players,I mean those that could enhance the club's chances of winning silverware,so since it appears they're content with yearly UCL appearance(maybe because of the earnings the club makes from the competetition,then it's totally apt for me to hope for Udinese to stop us from making it this time around;who knows maybe that is required to jolt Wenger,the board and any other interests that have made it impossible for Arsenal to strenghten the squad and win trophies in nearly ten years  
This is my view and I think I reserve the right to express it on this thread without the fear that any opinionated nairalander like yourself,who thinks he knows more than everyother human being on earth,will run their mouths at me for doing so

Breaking news! Wenger has Resigned Pat Rice will take over to continue failed project-youth-good-only-for-feeder-club-purposes


ok twas a dream really

The most honest and damning comment by Mukina on the Gunners thread.

Hope more fans will wake up and smell the coffee and know that Arsene Wenger has failed and should resign voluntarily

What is it they say about someone that keeps doing something the same way over and over again and hopes to get a different result

Honestly I pray for Udinese to defeat Arsenal and make it to the champions league so Wenger would not be left in any doubt that his youth policy has failed and collapsed

opata:
Methinks the main issue for discourse should be his ability or otherwise to perform the job he's been appointed to do. More especially as the appointment smirks of the use of unfair advantage to gain ground.

If I'm right, he didn't win in an election to represent his people. Now we see him emerging as a commissioner. Why? What are his qualifications and experience?

At this point, Oyo state after years and years of mismanagement definitely need round pegs in round holes. Not sharing of Government jobs to political families and dynasties.

There mustbe something he's bringing to the table that should make anyone comfortable with his appointment.

Just my twopence. Dont hate me.

He is educated up to university level,he has been in the political trenches for a while,I gues s he must have understudiesd some more experienced people,let's give him time to prove himself,we should give him our best wishes and hope he doesnt dissappoint us cos if he does,na for here we go still hammer am

Though not a core politician myself,I'm surrounded by dyed-in-the-wool politicians(though not ACN people as I'm not from the SW ),but having gone through a fewc of the posts here,I must say I actually comment @Dapolam for subjecting himself to public scrutiny on this forum(I mean he could so easily have used another moniker that would not bear a resemblance to his real identity and refrained from giving his true ID away).I must say I admire your humility,frankness and belief/hope for a better tomorrow.

Kudos also to people like X-factoria for standing by you

@ X-factor,so you and I have a lot in common(per per the bolded below),I see

[quote author=x-factoria link=topic=176871.msg8260551#msg8260551]We matriculated and graduated from the Faculty of Technology, UI same day. I studied Civil Engineering. Although we have few contacts, I can tell of your humility while we were both in UI.
Do not be deterred. I know that Ajimobi might consider you for a commissioner post if he wins and you must prove a point to these folks with it.

All the best brother[/quote]

IBB,may the almighty God not allow you to sneak out of this life,may you yearn for and beg for death to take you away swiftly.Your children will lose ALL the inheritance you bequeathed them from the collective purse of Nigerians

Which Okoties wrote that shameful and unfortunate poem,the randy singer or the randy pastor SMH

Dear IBB,as you approach your grave,hope you die soonest and hope the stolen heritage you will leave for your children will diassapear from before their very eyes the same way the $12 billion gulf war windfall belonging to Nigeria disspaeared under your watch

I set the ball rolling

Mr Babangida as you mark your birthday today and enter into another decade,may you know the kind of peace and happiness you caused the Dele Giwa,Maman Vatsa families amongst others,may you experience more grave political,financial,business,family and health misfortune as you draw closerr to your grave.May your children and grand children have food SAPped from their palms and mouths like you did millions of Nigerian families[i][/i]

Errr,I think thats the general reason Nigerians voted over-whelmingly for you,so let's start seeing some concrete things on ground,enough of all this story

Goldieluks:
what's your own,every other person has wished her whatever.
so you want her new guy to look ugly, again?? sweetie its not about reasoning,every guy/girl wish their
partner to be at least handsome/pretty,and that is what i wished for her.what's yours?

Oh I see,that's fair enough

man smith:
she has done the right thing,no matter what u guys think,the main thing is that she took a bold step to do the right thing.

So you think she VOLUNTARILY called off this wedding??,go back to @OP ,click on the link and peruse it carefully,ensure not to miss the place where it said SHE WAS ENCOURAGED TO DO THIS BY CHRIST EMBASSY'i.e the church that was supposed to conduct the wedding.Obviously because of the huge negative publicity the whole saga has generated,the church did not want to make a bigger mess of the situation and damage its own reputation,hence they advised Mercy to call it off.I dont think Mercy had any choice

man smith:
an ideal man is the devil's workshop.look at his statement on former Egyptian Leader.Pls let him get busy

What is wrong with his statement on the former Egyptian leader.He said,inter alia that"As I watched the CNN television last Wednesday night,rd August,and I saw the former Egyptian president Mubarak in a cage,responding to charges brought against him,I shrugged in disgust",,,,,,does he need to be put in a cage like an animal"??,,,,,,,,,,,continuing,OBJ said in the article that"No matter what his alleged offence may be,he must also be presumed innocent until found guilty.To put him in a cage for public exhibition as if already found guilty as a criminal was both unfair and prejudicial"

So Mr smith,show me what is wrong with OBJ's comments above??Ah ah,some objective perspective please

Goldieluks:
Thank goodness and I hope she finds a handsome guy next time,
instead of that former gorilla she wanted to wed.

Na so you dey reason?after what she's been through,na handsome guy you dey wish for am or an honest guy?SMH @ the way some people dey reason sha

She who goes to the farm to fetch ant-infested firewood must be ready to battle lizards at home.
I guess Mercy thought she could bulldoze her way through with the husband-snatching runs,but she grossly under-estimated the extent an Ishan-Italo babe would go to either keep what is hers or ensure the person seeking to claim what is hers does not succeed.

newspump:
It must have sounded like a wonderful idea to somebody: a two-time national leader writing a newspaper column. Chief Obasanjo, whose sense of shopping must be worse than his sense of grammar, bought the proposal.

full story in the link below at the line acrross

@ OP you must be an ignorant boy to have described the former presiden those words,have you ever read any of his books or his "Global connection" column in the "Saturday Mirror",I suggest you do yourself a favour by reading any of his write-ups first,that way you wont look like an ignoramous next time you want to comment on OBJ's writing skills;which I dare say is wayyyyyyyyyy ahead of those of most of the regular newspaper columnnists and brown envelope journalists

Sagamite:
How is that possible? The accusation was that he was convicted in UK, how can a Nigerian judge testify he jailed someone else?

Or are you saying it Ibori was jailed in Nigeria as well?

Ibori has been a thief even before he went to UNIBEN to wobble his way out with a third class degree.

The crime and conviction Kaolkalo referred to was the case of the stealing of building materials from a construction site(yes you heard read right,James Ibori don first tiff building materials from construction site,so by the time you allow a credit card fraudster,supermarket thief,roofing sheets thief,murderer/accessory to murder to become the governor of a state,of course he can't but steal the state treasury dry)
