exactly. its thier choice to pay it.Originally Posted by Grimandi's Perm
united charge away fans 58 quid, city 55 quid, chelsea 61 quid, yet they pay that and no complaints, yet arsenal charge it, and the media, fans etc all have a go at us. im not supporting our prices at all, but its a football problem not an arsenal problem yet the media are portraying this as only arsenal charge this much.
tbf the media only made a fuss about it because the City fans very publicly made a fuss about it. The press were just covering it.
But yes it's a problem throughout football, all driven by the ludicrously spiralling transfer fees and wages.
Yeah that's because we rake all this money in but don't spend any on the team, it's not like we can claim you're paying for the privilege of watching big name players.
In terms of value for money, we're very poor.
to be fair to city, the next game after ours (a home game for them) they carried on their boycott over ticket prices.
they just made up the boycott excuse so they didnt look like shit fans really
Totes footie on its wayDennis Bergkamp is a leading candidate to succeed Liam Brady as the head of Arsenal's youth academy. The club have announced that Brady will step down from his current post before the end of May 2014 to take a different role within the organisation but he will assist in the search for his replacement and the hand-over process.
Bergkamp, who enjoyed 11 successful seasons at Arsenal as a player, is now working as the assistant to the Ajax manager, Frank de Boer, with a connection to the Dutch club's youth development programme. Arsenal will seek a household name to take over from Brady, whose reputation will help them to attract the top youth players, and Bergkamp will come under consideration. The sooner Arsenal make the appointment, the quicker Brady will step aside.
The 56-year-old Brady, an Arsenal playing legend, was appointed to oversee the club's academy in 1996 and he has helped to develop current first-team players such as Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs.
"Liam has a deep understanding of what it takes to discover and develop a talented youngster into someone who can perform at the highest level," said the club's chief executive, Ivan Gazidis.
"He has made a massive contribution to Arsenal. It will be difficult to find a worthy successor but we will be looking for someone who can build on what Liam and his team have created."
I said that we should go for him yesterday!
yay me!
wenger will probably get priced out of this even though no fee will be needed
Totes amazeballs.
