Player trading £0.8m

So yes, I am arguing that. If people stopped going to the grounds and stopped subscribing to the TV channels then the whole thing comes tumbling down. You're not going to get big sponsorship deals when no-one is watching.

And in any case I was asking NQ what he personally gets out of it. I've not had a reply. It is up to him but I'm just curious as he doesn't seem to derive any pleasure even from good results.
Right so if every Arsenal fan stopped subscribing to the tv channels the revenue would simply disappear?

Should we petition every other fan of any other club whose subscription heavily contributes to the TV money we receive?

Don't get me wrong I think fan boycotts would make a difference as it would make sponsors get itchy feet to see that the stadium is half empty and full of placards, but directly the financial loss to the club would not be anywhere near as big as it was.

Why should he have to answer you?......what he comes here for is his own business. The fact is you don't like it because you think he is being relentlessly negative, so the problem you refer to seems to be much more yours than his.
