Deserves its own thread now it’s been confirmed and we’re one of the greedy cunts involved.
What is this shite?
This is going to be a complete mess, no sanctioning body in the game will authorise it but it’s just going to happen regardless it seems. Hopefully the PL threaten to boot us out of the league or deduct points or something.

Quite handy really. I was moving from being a fan to being indifferent and, slowly, onto loathing the club. This speeds things up nicely. Totally predictable, as greed generally is. You'd think they'd be focusing all energies on improving the current boring, mid-table, shit-kicker football played domestically. But no, they're going to double down.

Ridiculous. Sport is about being where you are on merit. Where will all this extra money go into players and agents how does that help anyone.
Just another part of the dismantling of the game I grew up with.
The foreign players have undoubtedly enriched the game but there needs to be some balance between them and the “local boy made good”. There’s almost none of the latter now.
No heroes. No players who give everything for the shirt. Who get what playing for The Arsenal is about and won’t leave when someone waves the next big cheque at them.
We have owners who couldn’t give a shit about the club so long as it’s doing their bank balance good.
So we have players who don’t care about the club or fans, owners who don’t care about the club or fans. You have journeyman players who aren’t fit to lace Adams’ boots earning more in a year than he did in his career. The fans being fleeced from every angle - someone’s got to pay these obscene amounts of money and one way or another it’s always us.
You have the saturation coverage, bollox like VAR coming in to make things worse, the social media stuff - honestly, who runs Arsenal’s FB? The detachment from the fans is embarrassing. And that’s the key thing, there has to be some connection between a club and fans. A sense that it’s us against the rest “fuck all the rest”. It’s gone. They don’t care about us. They care about our money but that’s not really the same thing.
It’s not a sport any more. This is just another nail in the coffin of the sport I grew up with.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Have to say this has united the fans in an almost unprecedented way.
I haven’t heard anyone say a good thing about it.
The whole thing is rotten

Spot on again
How the fuck were we even considered to part of this?!?
We've been dogshit for the last 4-5 years and not anywhere near CL level.
I can see it now - get in the ESL, not invest any money in the squad, sit in the lower part of the table and achieve nothing.
woohoo.
There's a very important lesson to learn here, as Mr Wenger himself would say.Originally Posted by Letters
These "surprises" do not happen by surprise. They are planned long in advance, in the shadows, while denial is issued left, right and centre in public. That's how Wenger knows - because conspiracies (which is precisely what this is and has always been) leak out, little by little. You don't always know precisely what's going on, you don't always know the details, but you can see the direction all the birds are flying.
Thinking back two Wenger's great teams striding around a sun soaked Highbury, going toe to toe with what was essentially a gang of hoodlums from Manchester, the anticipation, the build-up, the rage, the joy, the packed pub afterwards. Or the disbelief if we somehow lost, the genuine hatred for Mike Riley (who now seems like a half decent ref by today's standard).
It's not so long ago. When rotten individuals get control of something they can destroy it very quickly.
That should be remembered in all aspects of life, not just football.
