And you knew, at the time, that this service had not been given?

How?

Howe's about that then?

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.

See above. The payment being stopped would suggest to me that it should never have been made. If it's all so innocent and dandy why haven't they continued to pay it?

Business.
Customers.

:-(

And hell yeah, if Kroenke wants to move his franchise to China, why the hell should mere customers give a damn about that! Stoopid customers!

Perhaps he's stopped providing the service to which the payment pertains. Any thoughts on the Twin Towers?
