Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis was interviewed by Fox on Sunday and he said that Arsenal will never be able to compete with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City in the transfer market but believes Arsene Wenger's focus on developing young players is the correct way to run a football club.

Thank you to Arseblogger and his minions for posting this on Arseblog news today: a transcript of an interview that Ivan Gazidis gave with Fox Soccer Channel yesterday.
I watched the interview, and attempted to live-tweet it, because I found what Ivan said revealing. If I was going to sum-up his comments, I would use a term that Michael Lewis (of 'Moneyball' fame) recently employed in his book about the small group of people who correctly predicted the collapse of the Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) market in 2008: 'The Big Short'.

The former Man in Red may be a part of the Fire's future. Honduran websites El Heraldo and La Prensa are repoting that former Fire midfielder Ivan Guerrero is training with the Fire at their pre-season camp in Ave Maria, Florida. La Prensa also claimed Guerrero was "very close" to signing with the Fire.

David Hytner's article hints at Ivan Gazidis's plans to sell the Arsenal brand:

" Gazidis has identified a huge discrepancy between the worldwide reach of the Arsenal brand and the revenue that it generates. He believes that bringing the latter up to speed - the club have sophisticated strategies in place to do so - is the surest way forward.

Arsenal could be set to join Aston Villa and their Villa Park plan to introduce a safe-standing area by replicating the scheme at the Emirates.

Villa will put forward their suggestion at a meeting of the Premier League later this season. And if given the go-ahead, the club hope to have the safe standing zone in place in the Holte End by the 2013/14 season.

Arsenal will go to Nigeria as part of this summer's pre-season tour.

With Ivan Gazidis announcing that this year's Emirates Cup would be postponed due to the London 2012 Olympics, the club will head to Africa with the objective of extending the Arsenal brand in Nigeria as well as the African continent as a whole.

The New York Yankees needed pitching help. What do they do? In a trade with the Seattle Mariners, the Yankees stole one of the best, young pitching prospects in all of baseball. Michael Pineda, who showed dynamite stuff as a rookie last season, heads to New York, while Jesus Montero was sent to Seattle.

There he was sitting on a chair inside the venue hall almost unnoticed when I first arrived at the Singapore Sports School in Woodlands (which I nearly lost my way because of a misguided information of an apps on my phone).
You see Brunei DPMM coach Vjeran Simunic (pictured above or left depend on your browser setting) would normally tucked in his trademark attire entirely in black colour and top off with a black baseball cap embossed with the DPMM logo on match day.

As you have been reading, the team has been gathering every morning for a 30-minute run before breafkast. When you add up players, coaches and staff, the number totals about 30 people running. As a result, they have to be divided into two groups.
One of the groups Friday morning was led by Ivan Pierra, the head ATC for the National Team, and the other by Andreas Herzog.

I read with some interest the news from Ivan Gazidis that away fans could potentially be moved from their current position in the lower tier at the Emirates to the upper tier of the Clock End that houses away fans in cup ties.

Whilst I think this is a great idea in principal, this suggestion has raised a few questions that I'm sure will need addressing.

Well, would you believe it? It seems as if progress is on the Arsenal horizon with chief bod Ivan Gazidis seemingly open to ideas from Gooners on improving the atmosphere at the Emirates. Revealtions this morning on Twitter suggest that the club are pondering the option of booting away fans upstairs in the Clock End, thus allowing home supporters cheaper seats and improving the unity at that end.

In early August 2010, I was privileged to get a meeting with Ivan Gazidis the chief executive of Arsenal FC. I was there as part of a delegation of fans putting forward ideas about Arsenal and the wider world. And because (as you may know) I am interested in Arsenal's history, I [.

At the moment Real Madrid are scoring goals for fun. Tonight they scored three times in the opening ten minutes on their way to thrashing Dinamo Zagreb 6-2.

José Mourinho made six changes to the team that won 3-2 at Valencia on Saturday, butit was two of his regulars, Özil and Benzema, who were involved in the second-minute opener.

The Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis reckons that Arsenal's prudent fiscal policy is the envy of the footballing world, and believes that it will keep Arsenal in the top level of football for the forseeable future.

SI.com: Is it possible you may have some teams not playing each other at all in the regular season next year?
Garber: Yeah. Just by the fact it'll be unbalanced. That's possible.
SI.com: That sounds like a bummer.

Check out the video and you'll know how to stop the Roar!
If you watched the recent Wellington Roar game you'll have seen Ivan Franjic played in time and time again a la the above video training drill. Four men in the box, the ball played back or across to a Roar player.
In the drill there were only defenders - against Wellington and Victory there were 7 or 8!

Ivan Alonso tuvo participación en los 17 encuentros del torneo, con su equipo, el Toluca, en su primer temporada en el Futbol Mexicano, el Uruguayo hilvanó 11 goles en el torneo regular, y hasta ahi detendrá la cuenta ya que su equipo no clasificó a la liguilla.
El Toluca irónicamente fue la peor ofensiva del torneo, con apenas 19 goles, y 11 de ellos de Ivan Alonso, muy bien por el Uruguayo pero no tan bien para el equipo que no pudo encontrar quien cooperara con la cuota de goleo.

Gunners continue ticket reduction policy for Man City clash

Arsenal offer tickets from only £5 for Carling Cup tie

Arsenal Football Club has announced that it is continuing its reduced ticket price approach for the forthcoming Carling Cup Quarter Final clash with Manchester City.

Morning all, and a happy hallowe'en to you all.

I wonder what John Terry is dressing up as tonight? Slipenstein? Stumbledore? Black Ice-T? Devon Loch? Whatever it is, he'll be watching Robin fang Persie ease away from him to round the twat in the hat to score.

The warm glow from Saturday remains.

Antonio Gallardo al minuto 6 colocaba la primer piedra de lo que sería la derrota del América en casa, el clásico nacional ante un Estadio Azteca donde habían mas Chivas que Águilas, que sirvió para que los de Jalisco se apoderaran del liderato de la competencia y por si fuera poco, eliminar a las Águilas de la posibilidad de ingresar a la liguilla, todo esto sucedió en un solo partido.

There's not a whole lot of new stuff since Darren wrote his recap to the Sunderland match, but we'll see what we can find for today. On the injury front, Gibbs and Ramsey are the two we're watching at the moment. Wenger said both were minor injuries Gibbs with stomach muscle inflammation, and Ramsey with a slight hamstring issue.

TGIF-thank Gooner it's Friday, returns after the International break, and with the amount of tension in the air that befits a real crisis at Arsenal. Crisis on the field through injuries, crisis in the stands with fans divided, and crisis in the Boardroom as the prospect of a Boardroom struggle becomes more possible than probable.

Pretty much all footballers have some sort of charity commitments to fulfill, these days its stipulated in their playing contract, it is no different for Jack Wilshere but this goes way up and beyond what you would expect of a footballer.

Jack Marshall is a little kid with a brain tumour, looking in from outside Jack has formed a very close bond with a child who is basically dying in-front of him.

The Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie has made it clear that he will not make any decisions about his future at the Emirates until next summer, but he is not the only one approaching the dreaded 12 month mark in their contracts. Today it has been revealed that Ivan Gazidis has instructed his executive Richard [.

Robin van Persie will be offered a new four-year deal by Arsene Wenger to help persuade him to stay at Arsenal.

The Daily Mail is reporting that RVP's long-term future is in doubt after he admitted he does not want to discuss a new contract until the end of the season. But the paper says Arsenal are willing to break their pay structure to ensure they do not lose another star name.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis said that the Gunners can "cope" without playing in the Champions League. Many Arsenal supporters are upset with the ownership, and Ivan Gazidis' comments will only fuel more discontent towards the board. It is...

Ok, so I guess we'd better try and look at some of the football stuff that has happened over the last couple of days even though no actual football stuff has happened.

Some stuff involving people involved with football stuff has happened though. Let's start with Ivan Gazidis and the quotes about us not finishing in the top four and being able to survive without Champions League football.

Arsenal can still compete financially with the top clubs evem if we missed out on a Champions League spot, says chief executive Ivan Gazidis. The club earned £26m from Europe last season but Gazidis believes they could still keep pace with the top English clubs without it.

"We would rather qualify for it but we have a really sustainable model that can cope.

Arsenal are in danger of not qualifying for next seasons Champions League if you listen to all the mumbo jumbo in the press. We have 31 games to play for goodness sake. But today chief Executive Ivan Gazidis has said we do not need to be in the Champions League to compete! Speaking at the [...]
