Another world though, isn't it? The more you have the more you get. Not complaining, just reflecting the fact the world we live in is fractionally less exciting and lucrative.Quote:

That's the real genius of it, Arsenal are the best if not the only real football investment vehicle right now!Quote:

I'm hoping it was a sincere move on his part recognising he has a lot of work to do and not a PR stunt designed by one of his myriad of advisers and representatives. :coffee:

Doubt he gives a flying fuck what some judgemental internet anoraks say about him having a laugh on his holidays. He might even join in with a fag with fellow smokers Ozil, Kos and Giroud after training.
No, he obviously has a point. It's a completely fair question to ask whether PUMA will now be looking to align all their clients with us. And it turns out he's absolutely right.Quote:

He has to condemn it in public but I don’t think Wenger wants controversy around the club and he’s warned Jack once about protecting his rep. You can see it in his first statement. Health implications aside, Jack shouldn’t have been caught smoking again, even if he’s a big time smoker.Quote:

We're going to court to challenge the limit on three concerts a year that can be hosted at the Emirates.
Good on the club I say. We need all the revenue we can generate to compete with the likes of the Petro clubs and Utd with their ridiculous commercial deals (£75 million a year from Addidas) and this is an easy way to go about doing this. Loan out one of our key assets (the stadium) when it's not in use.
And it's good to see that the executives have finally recongnised this:
Islington council need to FOAD about this. Would bring more money, business and jobs to the local area to get tens of thousands of people flocking to the area.Quote:
During a public inquiry carried out by the inspector, Ken Friar, Arsenal's chief executive director, said the club needed money from the concerts to compete with its football rivals, citing the example of Manchester United's profits of £100 million compared to Arsenal's £20 million.
As it's a council we're talking about, this should just be a case of ensuring the correct amount is in the brown envelope. It's quite expensive to buy these sponging wank stains at the moment because they're looking to cover off the huge pensions frauds they got caught out on.

Exactly what I think as well. Slimy cunts at Islington council want there cut to pay for the bonuses of senior council leaders.Quote:

No actual reason why our request should be denied and if anything if Islington council actually had the interests of the local community they would be pleading for more gigs to be hosted and more money to be brought into the area. Instead they're more concerned about their own greedy little pay packets.
No.Quote:

Besides the "100 million in the bank" that's always trotted out has to include wages. World class players demand world class wages ..... you need to budget in total £70 million of Ozil if you include his 5 year contract. And given the fact that we don't have a sugar daddy to bail us out, it would be the height of stupidity to spend all our cash reserves in one go ......... we need to keep money behind in the case something goes wrong. We couldn't soak up a loss on the scale of Torres or Schvenckeo the same way the Chavs were able to through Roman pumping in more equity.
If we want to to continue to stay at the top of the chain and compete for the calibre of players like Ozil and Sanchez throughout the team it's imperative that we boost our revenues through any means possible and renting out the Emirates is a no brainer. It also may hopefully mean that club is less reliant on matchday income so season ticket prices can be frozen for a few years.
tl;dr version - They money is there but unlike certain other clubs, we have to spend it incredible wisely.
Eisfield sold to Fulham, didn't see that on coming tbh
The premise of a big stadium generating money for the surrounding area is a criteria in which it is allowed and supported to be built in the first place so it is wholly reasonable and prudent that the club has taken this stance.
@ Gallactico...
Not that I disagree with you assertion that a given budget includes wages.....However, I can't help but feel that if a player is sold.... let's say for 10 million?
The budget is let's say 70 million? Most people add the 10 million to the budget from the player sale and then argue it is now, 80 million. They do not add 10 million to the budget and the wages saved over the remaining duration of his contract which might make the budget 90 million rather than 80.
It is not a major issue, but I do think that if any stated budget includes wages, then it should be updated accordingly when we bring in a fee from a transfer AND the wages saved. I know the wages saved perhaps becomes an intangible as it is money saved rather than physically made, but in the act of balancing I do find it a little peculiar.
All these figures are generated by the media anyway, so they have just been plucked out of Martin Samuel's arse. Like anything plucked from Martin Samuel's arse, greet with disbelief and avoid like the plague.
Anybody else getting fed up with BT Sport's adverts all featuring Arsenal's humiliations last season?
No I was enjoying them actually.
Just make sure you find and watch pirated BT Sport feeds during the season. And give the links to your mates. I mean do that anyway regardless of the adverts.Quote:
