Revolution under way at Arsenal, be a part of it. By Captain Jack
To all fellow GOONERS who have been taken for a ride for the past 8 years and looks like its going to happen for the 9th year running, unless we start doing something about it. Let me explain…
After an exiting and action packed transfer window we are off to a flying start, a Seven Nil rout against lowly Aston Villa. This is what I was hoping would be in the Sunday Newspapers after the big announcement from Ivan back in July regarding Arsenal’s new found financial power. However in reality it has turned out into the same old story, starting a new season on the back foot. Not just the back foot, it looks like this time around the owner and his faithful team have buried Arsenal a thousand feet under the ground.
We are the 4th biggest football club in the world, according to some figures. Let me repeat, 4TH BIGGEST CLUB IN THE WORLD and we can’t field a proper starting eleven in the very first game of the season. If we had injuries at the end of a long season competing for trophies and going for the title we can understand but the first game of the season with the transfer window having been open for almost 3 months now, we can’t have enough players in the squad to play the season opener is total DISGRACE. Look at the other big clubs and they can field two quality teams right away and we are struggling to field one.
After what happened last season and the season before and before….the same thing that’s been happening for last 8 years its absolutely absurd that we haven’t learnt our lesson. I’m not saying this about the Arsenal Board or the Owner Silent Stan or Le Professor, but to all the faithful GOONERS. Year in year out we are getting our season tickets renewed, year on year we are having full attendance at the Emirates for all our home games and yet what have we fans got from AFC empty promises and a trophy cabinet full of dust.
When will we learn from our mistake? It’s high time we do it now. Arsenal is a Big franchise for the owner, a money making asset, that’s it. There is no emotional value attached with the club for him. He doesn’t care a damn about the fans and their feelings or the competitive nature of the club. All he is doing is holding 41583 shares of Arsenal and is hoping to cash out at some point in the future for a large profit.
So how can we make the owner finally realize that the bluff has to stop. Well according to various estimates match day income accounts to almost 40% of the total revenue at Arsenal. That’s a big chunk. Add to that the various commercial revenue from merchandising which accounts to another 15% and we have around 50% plus of total revenue being generated from us the Gooners.
It’s time that we stop this revenue till the owner buckles up or the owner leaves for good so that the club can start going in the right direction again. I know its not easy to stop all the revenue at a time but its the right time we start taking steps towards it.
So starting from the Fulham away game next Saturday followed by the big CL qualifier game against Fenerbahce on 27th August, I request all the GOONERS not to go to the match. I know there are many fans who have already renewed their season ticket or have already purchased the tickets for these games. I know its tough on all the fans who have already spent their hard earned money for these games, however if we want our beloved club to start going in the right direction again its time we take some hard decisions.
Also for the big CL game against Fenerbahce I request all the fans to go to Emirates however not inside but outside so that we can stage one of the biggest protests against the lack of ambition from the Owner and the Manager. We can have a few fans go inside with banners protesting the same so that GOONERS around the world will know what’s happening. But all the rest of the fans should start protesting outside the Emirates.
Things can change; during this one week we may sign couple of good players we may win both the away games, however we cannot let it stop. We need to start taking hard decisions right away, for the good of our beloved club and make it clear what Arsenal has been and what it will stand for in the future.
We are a club with great history and tradition, a club that has contributed immensely to the footballing world, a club with vision and a club which will remain a big force in the world of football. So please spread the below message to all the GOONERS around the world and especially in UK. Let’s use all the resources available, all the social networking sties, all the fans forums and the blogs
DO NOT GO TO THE FULHAM AWAY GAME WE NEED EMPTY AWAY STANDS AT CRAVEN COTTAGE.
LET US PROTEST OUTSIDE THE EMIRATES ON 27th AUG DURING THE FENERBACHE GAME. DO NOT GO INSIDE WE NEED TO HAVE THE EMIRATES EMPTY. ZERO HOME SUPPORT.
LET THE “ARSENAL REVOLUTION” BEGIN.
