Lol. Being able to pay your bills is more important than loyality.
I think âwe just sucked at negotiationâ is a fair assessment.
Me too.
Kroenke should say the same
What?
âI donât want to invest in Arsenal out of my own pocket, as I have my own bills to payâ
This club is actually owned by Kroenke. He would be spending on something that he actually owns⌠Arsenal fans rent a seat.
We football fans have been spoiled but usually businesses work on P&L wherein the owners try to make profits rather than putting their own money in & incurring losses in the way.
Billonaires own sports team for prestige and pleasure. We donât need to question their awareness that this is money losing business.
Your ticket price increase logic is flawed.
The financial results indicate that we currently make about 100 million in gate and matchday income.
We already have the most expensive average ticket price in the league and even then if we were to increase ticket prices by 20%, itâd only yeild an additional 20 million.That wouldnât even fund fee for a decent young player. Even a 50% price increase will only result in an additional 50 mil and itâll get you an above average signing like Laca once every season and this is without accounting for wages, only considering transfer fees.
In order to complete in this environment, we need to find alternate sources of income, including backing from the owner who had seen the value of good asset grow double on a self-sustaining model so far.
If not Ticket prices, we need to bring in capping on salary, transfer fee & agent fee.
This shit canât go on like this.
Now youâre spinning a different argument.
Wage caps, Fee caps and agent commission is controlled by the league, not the club and itâll not have a direct impact on how competitive we are in the current situation and it is completely unrelated to the point about ticket prices youâve been going on about for months now.
We can self impose sanctions like we had before 2015 and we all know what came out of that.
I was asking for overall capping across all leagues
Beyond the powers of OA iâm afraid. Go write FIFA a letter or something.
Or just spend more wisely and sell players in the summer instead of January to maximise sales revenues. If we lose Ramsey on a free and donât replace well you canât claim itâs anything other than poor squad management
Classic Ramos
Sure it canâunless the sheiks at City, Rooskie Oil baron at Chelsea, etc. get tired of spending money, they can and will turn the different euro leagues into the Bundesliga where only one team (maybe 2) have a chance to win the league.
European League have been traditionally dominated by one or two teams though . In that sense is changes nothing.
Kroenke, spend some money, you obscene cunt.

How can a professional footballer be running around for ages not knowing his laces were undone.
Even more amazing, going up to your boss, talking about your sex fetishes and then wondering why âhe didnât get you.â
Although Iâm sure with the English degree he got from Cambridge, Pennant can always get a job at the BBC as a political news correspondent.
