Gooners have been spoilt

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Yes, it's about making fuller use of our resources. How about not making a profit in every transfer window, and actually spend more than we earn through sales just once? That way, we can replenish the squad rather than purely replacing departing players, and we may give ourselves a decent chance of lifting some silverware. That could galvanise the club in a very positive way.

But no, as we have seen with the Sahin non signing, we are so obsessed with the business side of things, and on minimising costs, and are willing to damage our chances of silverware just to save a few million pounds.

I do think if Kroenke was actually an Arab, he'd get a lot more stick tbh. You see how often the ethnicity of Man City's owners are brought up, which suggests there is some prejudice there as well.

Rubbis Tony Fernadez is not white he does not get much stick, not sure what Colour has to do with anything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour are not of the same ethnicity.

Then why do we see "Arab" being used if it's a pejorative? And I didn't say this had anything to do with "White vs Black", just that there is IMO a lot of latent prejudice against Arabs in particular which explains the hatred directed towards their owners. I mean, some people act as if they're evil, even though all they've done is buy a football club and tried to make them successful through legal means.

Because thats what they are Arabs. Never said you said it had anything to do with black and white, but racism or prejudice is more then just Black vs White.

Yes, but when sentiment like "fucking Arabs" is expressed, are you saying Arabs is used simply as a descriptive term? I doubt it somehow.

Not saying it is but i don;t think it is used to abuse the City Owners either.

[gooners]

Yes, but we're not reliant on them.

Yes we are. If they decide they dont want anything to do with football anymore and decide to flog their share to whomever wants to buy --- we will also be fucked. Kroenke owes it to no one but himself to recoup recoup whatever money he can if desperation calls for it. We are not owned by a trust!

And as for chelsea/city, let me repeat NO ONE will buy those clubs should the owners attach any money ALL the money pumped into the clubs as debts. They know that. They are not stupid. It is their own money --- it is afc that is operating on loans.

Do i give a fuck that a rich owner of a club is putting their own money into their club? No. If they are not breaking any rules. Do i give a fuck that phw and co conveniently increased their share values and then flogged it off to make a tidy sum? Yes i fucking do.

We dont want their sorts. Is that fucking rigjht?

[Letters]

Yes we are.

No we're not.

Why would we be? They haven't loaned us hundreds of millions of pounds which we couldn't begin to repay if they decided to call in the debt.

They are if financial fair play has any bite (which, sad to say, I doubt it will). If you want to see a club succeed by throwing enough money around until you blunder your way to the top then go support City. You'd have to be pretty thick to not be able to see the difference between their success and genuine achievement, but then most football fans are pretty thick.
