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.

You could ask the same about Spurs. Yes, they're better than us right now but only marginally. They haven't won a big trophy since 1991 (no, Spurs, you don't get to count the league cup), they haven't won a title since Noah was in short trousers.
BUT, what do Arsenal and Spurs have in common? Shiny new big stadiums and a large, global fan base. Think of all that lovely money!
It's so transparent, it's embarrassing.

I can't see this happening. It's united football fans in their distain for it so who is going to watch? Who is going to pay to watch, more to the point.
If the answer is "that large global fan base" then maybe that's true, but it'll basically sever the last dangling thread of connection between the traditional fan and the club. But I guess if you're a business that doesn't matter. So long as the money is coming in from somewhere, right?

Spurs?

Who the fuck are they ??


lol, I know they are no different, but I just meant from an Arsenal perspective - no one cares about Spurs

Spurs global fan base is a mythical thing. Nobody in the outside white Europe or Americas cares a hoot about Spurs. No one here buys their tat. Maybe the Koreans are Son fans but I have never come across a Spurs fan outside my being in the UK

I think you are overestimating their reliance on what you call "fans"

You probably mean fans who live in this country and want to actually attend games in, relatively speaking, tiny stadiums that are potentially dwarfed in audience size by the great god pay per view TV.

When they say "European" league - have a bet right now that it will become a global league with mega-bankrolled teams from China and the USA.

The "fans" they are salivating over are not the same as the lower income, local lads who used to turn up in person. Unless we're going to go all Red Star Belgrade, the traditional fans will simply be sidestepped as irrelevant. The greedy pigs have said as much - Covid, the gift that keeps on giving, saw the stadiums shut down. You can say that was an unfortunate consequence of an unforeseen pandemic - fine. However, purely coincidentally of course, it has also been a fantastic trail run for future sport in general, where evrything will be consumed from a distance provided you have the credit card in hand.

Sounds like Kroenke is heavily involved, along with the other American owners
