Ivan Gazidis

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I don't trust Gazidis. Regardless of what progress is being attributed to him,our commercial deals are poor and he has that untrustworthy politician air about him. I also can't believe he would let Wenger struggle when he's needed help since 2007-unless he wants him to fail to force him out. Kroenke makes the ultimate decisions and I'm concerned that Gazidis has struggled so much to take control from Wenger (if the power struggle stories are true). No faith in the man but only time will tell.

 

[KROENKE SUCKS]

Think he's been purposefully undermining Wenger in order to take control of the club and make himself look better when Wenger goes. I used to think it was about Kroenke, but you are right there is something going on behind the scenes between Wenger and Gazidis. With our resources we could be conservative to keep Kroenke happy and yet still do Far more to compete which we just aren't.

EDIT: He wants this to be his football club. Plus maybe he would like to make himself look better by opening the purse strings once Wenger's gone and he gets the plaudits, builds up his own rep and gets the fans on side.

Slaphead ****.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Bumping this thread as Gazidis is definitely positioning himself to be the main man once Arsène departs/calls it a day

- Average commercial deals compared to our rivals
- Seemingly unable to get rid of that ridiculous debt reserve requirement which costs us £30M (can't use it, must be kept in the bank)

The Aubameyang deal is crucial for him. If he bollocks it up, his credibility is cooked and should resign or be sacked (won't happen as Stan doesn't give a ****)

Your move Ivan.

 

[Longy]

Yep this trip to Dortmund has put himself in the picture without an escape.

It's a deal or forever be shamed.

 

[<<reed>>]

Wenger's & **** Law's winter transfer business: Källström, Gabriel, Elneny.
Gazidis' winter transfer business: Mkhitaryan & Aubameyang.

Look at that commercial revenue

Gazidis is **** - how the **** are we behind Borussia Dortmund?

Sackable offence that.

Sackable offence that.

He pockets a couple of mil bonus for that rubbish too. This club

 

[kraphtous]

Gazidis and his guys are the only people who know anything about football at this club. Elite.

Is our commercial revenue linked to our league position? This isn't my area of interest or knowledge. I do know and I was surprised that in Brazil and Argentina, they tend to prefer Chelsea. I've got South American mates and they all think Chelsea is a much bigger club than Arsenal.

Why should we be earning more? And if so, why aren't we? Surely if we are behind, it's because the market dictates that.

This is my problem with him , what the **** has he been doing , Dortmund has more commerical revenue than us :confused:? We are easily a more visible brand than they are , even the Wenger out placards at every sporting event in the World .

We got a much bigger fanbase than Chelsea all around the World especially in Asia , Liverpool even bigger still .

Actually I lie we are apparently only behind United now in England . Let's not even talk about our social media presence .

Surprisingly that doesn't translate on social media where Chelsea have more of a social media presence than us (not by much though). It isn't an indicator of overall popularity but it's a decent-ish gauge.

That being said, we're Top 5 in terms of social media presence in world football yet our commercial revenues are trash. We're woeful at monetising our huge online presence.

Exactly , we are top 5 most supported Club around the World , according to some sites top 3 . Find that hard to believe but regardless our status isn't reflected in our revenue by a stretch .

You'd think stuff like that would be huge leverage in sponsorship negotiations...

Probably because Chelsea have had a lot of Brazilian players who played for their national side.

Yep. We need to find a new Edu,Gilberto or Silvinho. Our good South Americans left before this stuff mattered.

Whoever finds the first Chinese or Indian first team player will transform their club.
