And you knew, at the time, that this service had not been given?
How?
Next Arsenal manager
Howe?
If Kroenke wants to take £3m out of a business he owns, what the hell has that got to do with the customers? It was probably more tax efficient than a dividend, which he equally has full rights to take.
Despite not being on the Arsenal board, a poster here was telling us how much Wenger had to spend on transfers. The stupidity of the Arsenal fan is not limited to shouting 'shoot' every time Xhaka gets the ball.
Well you could ask that same question about every bill the club pays. Indeed, every bill that you pay, or I pay, but we don't do that, do we? Apart from the lack of time at our disposal to question every single financial transaction carried out, we sort of operate on an 'innocent until proven guilty' basis.
Believe it or not there are rules in this country on corportate governance. Your idea that a business is simply a cash cow for one of its part-owners, similar to the shopkeeper being able to put his hand in the till in some ancient village shop, is out-dated. And someone has realised this at the Arsenal which is precisely why they've stopped the "payment" this year.
I know it hasn't been given which is precisely why the payment has stopped.
""Could" and "might" are not words acceptable in the audited accounts of a company. The company can pay its shareholders - all of them - a dividend. It cannot camouflage a dividend as payment for a non-existent service to one of its shareholders.
That's why its stopped.
Well yes, I suppose he could declare a dividend although I'm not too sure exactly how and who approves the dividend and yes, he would then have to pay all shareholders.
But that wasn't what you suggested he could do. You suggested he could simply take money from the club. And that isn't true.
Yes he can take money of the business, in the form of a dividend. Dividends are in my experience of company law, approved at a board meeting. I don't suppose Kroenke would have too much trouble getting a dividend approved from a board he hand picks. You can nitpick over semantics if you choose.
I'm not nitpicking over semantics, I'm using the semantics you chose in the quote above. You distinguished between 'take £3m out of a business' and declaring a dividend and said that he could do either. That isn't true. He can do the latter, not the former.
I'm bored with this now. G'night.
A team could call itself Arsenal in China but it couldn't play in the English Premier League from China. So if Kronke starts a team in China and gives up part-owning a team in London I would still support Arsenal FC's successor club which would be formed five minutes after he'd gone, if not before.
Arsenal was here before Kronke and it will still be here when the worms have consumed his toupee.
