In any case, football has never been totally fair — for as long as it's been a professional sport there have been rich and not so
rich owners of clubs.
Not exact matches
Regardless
of those who continually spew nonsense about how we can't compete with the oil -
rich fat cats and the like, this
club and it's majority
owner have bags
of cash at the ready, but simply refuse to deviate from the business model that has allowed them to reap the rewards
of our financial loyalty without assuming any monetary risks whatsoever.
At a time when
clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City received huge financial backing from
rich owners, Arsenal instead chose to invest in their long - term future by building the 60,000 - seater Emirates Stadium; a project
of immense cost, which severely hit Arsenal's short - term financial capabilities.
The changing
of the FFP rules by Uefa which will once again allow mega
rich owners to pump shedloads
of cash at their
club could be disastrous for the Gunners, as our own man at the top Stan Kroenke has proved himself reluctant to spend a single cent
of his own money on Arsenal.
The only reason why Man City and Chelsea have won the league recently and been doing slightly better than Arsenal, is because they have super
rich owners who have pumped bottomless pits
of money into their
clubs.
Wenger signed podolski, sanogo, famini because they were free, they are now all deadwoods.I remember wenger saying sanogo will make headlines on the pitch, he was the reason afobe was sold.Also no dm and st for some time now bcuz
of their space.Cheap and free player to save money for
club owners in the bank remain
rich club and relevant in cometitions, thats wengers policy!
it's time for this
club to put it's money where it's mouth is... no more half measures, no more settling, no more making money hand - over-fist with little to show for it, no more excuses and no more hiding behind the idea that this is «small»
club that can't compete with the «big boys»... the only real difference between them and us is what the manager demands and what the
owner is willing to give... we play in the League with the
richest tv contract in Europe, we have one
of the largest home venues with some
of the highest ticket prices on the continent, we have several major corporate sponsors, we have one
of the largest fan bases in the World whom purchase a ridiculous amount
of merchandise, we rake in coin on tour each and every preseason and we have banked countless millions from qualifying for and participating in various competitions at home and abroad
Let's take Wenger out
of the equation so that we can address other points that I asked you: You have still not told me how one man can ride roughshod over the
owner and board
of the «4th»
richest club in the world without any consequences.
This is a decent article, yet the negatives from fans are still there, I would love to see arsenal like I did at the end
of the 90's and at the beggining
of the 2nd millennium but it doesn't mean in order to do so I would buy all the best players in world, I would get a
rich owner to put his filthy money in, change the manager every 2 years to do so, there's so much wrong in football nowadays that yes it's still a sport but there's more focus on the filthy amounts
of money being spent on
clubs and players that I think attracts more attention than the game itself, now that is wrong and it's very wrong, even our
owner though not like the arabs or Russians, yet the yank is clueless about the tradition
of our game, it's just sad, so the fact that Wenger has remained for this long through all these changes that have occurred whilst the money game has elvolved, it makes me happy that arsenal do not spend stupid amounts
of money on players, we don't try and buy the league, hell we even tight with wages and transfer fees, I'm glad it's like that, though our season ticket is a rip off I still don't mind it because at least we are not like the other supreme teams, there's a bit
of tradition left at our
club, yet you go to man shitty or Chelski, there is no tradition, it's all about buying ur way all the way to the top, on the other hand spuds don't know what to make
of them besides how the heck have they finished above us?
@ Ivan yes the older fans r quite aware that arsenal was in d same category with d likes
of Everton and Aston villa before the arrival
of Wenger, while arsenal has climb mountains courtesy
of Wenger's ingenuity, hard work, smartness, and sheer brilliance the other ones has remained dormant and one eve suffered relegation,, even when d
owners of of arsenal fc has not backed him with mighty cash, he transformed arsenal to one
of d most valuable
club in d world today, and one
of d
richest club in d world today, he didn't stop there, he went ahead to win 17 trophies for arsenal fc, it amazes me how some pple who has never contributed any thing to d growth
of arsenal fc will be ranting every day here insulting the greatest manager in d history
of afc bcos u could afford 10mb data is ridiculous, for ur information u have bragging right today as an arsenal fan courtesy
of what Wenger offered u, the golden trophy, and 49 unbeaten run is something that can take another generation to match,
Despite their epic spending spree last summer, Manchester United's
owners are not that high up on the list
of richest Premier League
club chiefs, with the Glazer family worth an estimated # 2.86 bn.
Though the
club's
owner is substantially
richer than Abramovich, Mircea has put together at far lesser cost a bunch
of effervescent Brazilians who largely played ducks and drakes with Chelsea with the likes
of the dazzling, Fernandinho, Willian and Adriano irrepressible.
But in the summer
of 2012, the
club again went on a mass spending spree backed by their
rich owners from Qatar, and the arrivals
of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ezequiel Lavezzi meant that Gameiro dropped down to merely a backup player at the
club.
However, there isn't quite the same optimism nor excitement levels at Blackburn as when, for example, Manchester City were bought by an extraordinarily
rich Sheikh, or even when Liverpool's new
owners, NESV, bailed the Anfield
club out
of their hell - hole barely two months ago.
