Yeah but 3+4 equals 7, 4-3 equals 1, then add that to the 4, take away 3 and you have 2. 2 and 7. 27. That's probably the real reason. Easy when you know how, Rachel.

Well, season tickets revenues are in, now comes the "managing fan expectations" bit of the communications plan...
£54m will probably just about pay for wenger's contract extension, so it's not all bad news, guys.
Figures pulled out of their arse. Wouldn't really make sense given we spent more than that two summers ago. :lol:
Don't believe that for one second, we're the 5th richest club in the world FFS, that budget...54m is what I'd expect a team like Stoke to have, it's absolutely ridiculous. I mean TV money, revenue, where does it all go...down a black hole?
That doesn't even factor in that Wenger has been sitting on millions for a couple of windows now, what does the club do? Half his budget every window!!!
Jesus, what a load of sales bollocks.
Link that takes you to the investment company website, instead of allowing the Standard as the holder of the report for the download. So nice spike in their web position over the new few days. The Standard won't be the only media outlet this link exists.
it doesn't take you to the download page, so you have to click around some more to find it, selling their services a bit more and more clicks of course. Then you have to fill in the form with full contact details, which nine times out of ten people will do because they're so used to being asked for it. Then expect emails to come out, added to their newsletter 'readership' which boosts their figures. People should expect a sales call too with some twat selling their services.
I don't even care if the figures in the 'report' are true, it's just bollocks that some slimy financial company feel the need to elbow their despicable ways into our line of reading.
Had a scan of the ES article, didnt click any links, but yes on first glance looks to be speculation at best, complete BS at worst. The cash is there, whether we spend it is another matter. We will probably reduce the wage bill this summer by shipping off Walnut and a few others.
