Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Power n Glory]

Usmanov clearly likes football yes, as for an interest in Arsenal if you like the sport and you invest in it it would be hard not to after years of investing, trouble is Stan doesn't like football so has no interest with what happens on the pitch.

Where are you getting this information from?

Also, you've ignored my posts on FFP rulings a couple of times now. It's not like before. You can't just invest your own money into a club without UEFA and the FA clamping down on you. Growth has to come from revenue generated from sponsorships.

Yes but the difference is the Glazers gave the manager plenty of money to improve his squad, they spent on top top players and actually came to matches, Kroenke does neither. There are obviously other examples, but Kroenke is certainly amongst the worst yes, don't be surprised to see him borrow against the club in time, it's just a business to him and if the opportunity arises to buy another business he's bound to jump on it, that's the trouble with 100% ownership by a guy who doesn't like the sport.

Again, the Glazers didn't spend their own money. That's money generated from sponsorships they're spending.

Doesn't matter, they backed the manager add gave him plenty of funds to sign the best if necessary and have had success since they arrived. Stan has done neither.

So Stan has held back funds from Wenger?

He does lots of interviews where he mentions the need to invest/change and win trophies, this article mentions his favourite footballers, he even talks about speaking to Abramovic about football, it's clearly he's a football fan you don't really need interviews to prove this:

Man City and PSG amongst other clubs have shown there's ways round this, FFP doesn't work.

Everton dominated this league for a while in the 80`s. Just from having a great manager. If not for the ban on England clubs playing in the CL, they could have made great strides. Anything is possible, especially nowadays. If the Fulham owner buys Wembley.....who knows, It will be renamed the super Cottage.

Do you mean that time when they dominated the league and won it twice in a decade? When Aston Villa were winning it too and Forest were killing it in Europe? When Southampton, Watford and Ipswich were battling for the title and Liverpool were the team really dominating the league? I’ll add Fulham to my growing list of teams that will keep me awake at night, along with Burnley. And Everton.

Wenger never wanted to spend, he wanted to build some sort of youth team fairytale, that suited Stan, thing is if he wanted us to win he would have pushed Wenger and put pressure on him, then it would have been on Wengers head if he chose not to spend and didn't win.

It's clear he was all too happy to sit back and watch us come 4th, we did it for long enough after all.

We'll revisit this in a few seasons if GW is still ticking along and we'll also get to see what happens with Everton.

Our only hope is that Emery turns out to be a miracle worker and identifies top talents for next to nothing, if he doesn't and we need to sign top players I personally think we'll be in trouble. I guess it also depends on how hungry Emery is for success.

But yes we'll see in a few years I guess.
