Posts to Letters in relation to Wenger is like chatting to a religious person if your an atheist. With regards to god, we can safely suggest that either a, God is real & created the earth & all the creatures that live on it or b, We had some kind of big-bang theory & the rest is down to evolution.
With regards to our stadium move - it seems like some on here cannot even get it in their heads that the stadium move was NOT done to make us kings of Europe or NOT done with the end goal of AFC being far better off.
Like the religious story - we have 2 choices.
Choice 1, Danny Fitz, Wenger & the board sat down in the early 2000's & said. We need to build a bigger stadium to increase our revenues, make it easier to more fans to come & see us & therefore give you more money to spend on players MR Wenger. This will make us unbeatable in our domestic league, a league we are already winning or finishing 2nd regularly & it will mean we can take on the bloody Spanish & Italians to win the European cup on a regular basis. Ok - lets get the money in place & do something in 2005/6.
Choice 2, Danny Fitz, Wenger & the board realised at some stage in early 2000's that they were sitting on a gold mine but the lack of potential to re-develop Highbury would ruin the chance to sell the club for serious money.
Things to think about when making your decision.
1, Arsenal shareholders were like family - selling shares in Arsenal was unthinkable to all the family members.
2, We undertook quite a bit of work at Highbury early 2000's - some of which necessary, some of which not if you were thinking of moving stadium.
3, During Highbury work, we played at Wembley 87,000 attendance. Did the penny drop!!
4, Not long after this, we here about project Emirates.
5, Due to comparatively poor kit & sponsorship deals, gate receipts were fairly crucial to have a vehicle to repay the stadium loan. Not so much as issue for family share holders who intend to stay around for many years as they can balance the books by other means but very important if you are intending to sell to an outside party. Hence the highest ticket prices in Europe.
6, Arsenal shares that have never been for sale on mass are greedily gobbled up by a Yank & a Russian making Fitz, Wenger & other shareholders far more wealthier than they were owning that poor old stadium down the road.
7, Who is paying for the loan that made Fitz & the gang amazingly wealthy. You, me, & Sky!!
And in all this time, up until 2013 - the team hadn't won a trophy or even competed for one. Apart from Letters & probably Dougie R, is there really anyone else around who believes in God!!!
