So Wenger has now come out and said we would have to sell our best players every year for seventeen years to cope with a £24 million annual surplus to pay for the stadium. Wenger apparently said,
“The strategy of the club is to sell every year and to buy less expensive players.”
“We manage at Arsenal to maintain all our football ambitions — national and European —while having to free up – for 17 more years – an annual surplus of £24m to pay for our stadium.
With simple maths that makes £408 million still left to pay, given that we got £150mill from sponsors up front and £250 for the old stadium, I am puzzled as to these latest figures.
ManU have to pay three times that in interest and they still buy loads each year, then add to that what Fizman says we have to spend then either Wenger is on something or someone has a lot of explaining to do as I am really puzzled.
Yesterday was a fabulous day for us yesterday when reaching a million hits, it was soured slightly by a few of the PCB (Politically Correct Brigade), who for me are worse than any AKB’s. Let me explain, we had a little fun with Obefemi Martins age and a 3 people jumped on the race card and called me racist, no one else just 3 people
On this blog we can poke fun at whosoever we wish, if you don’t like it, head on over to another blog…
We are emerging as the new favourites to sign Arshavin, I’m not so sure he is the answer, but being as I just found out we have to sell Adebayor to balance the books I guess we’ll be buying no one.
So when he said last week Ade was going nowhere, he actually meant he was going and wouldn’t be replaced.
So why did we move stadiums? Why was that a good move, and what do we do with all the prize money? For champions league etc.
We were doing alright at Highbury, no debt, I cannot believe all this debt shit, if it’s true then anyone connected with the new stadium should be fired, many of our fan base, the board included may not even be alive in 17 years time, think about that.
And the biggest mystery is how can the spuds keep spending, Liverpool and Everton move stadiums, we make the most money, yet we will have to sell more than we buy for 17 years, this isn’t a rant, it’s a question.
So Arsenal fans, brace yourself for 17 more years of hurt cos Arsenal won’t be buying. There’s a song there somewhere!
Oh and after much deliberation the 1,000,000 comment came on the night shift and it fell in between Gnarley George and Evo, so as it was split, the Ferrari will have to stay in good old blighty! Well done to both of you, I’m glad it was a regular!
Happy Domingo Grovers, I feel like getting pissed already!
P.S. Arsenal are reportedly in for Huntelaar according to the ever reliable NOTW,
“Arsenal are keen on Huntelaar and he has confirmed he would be keen to discuss a move.”
We shall see…
well peter hill and come out and stated that ade is not for sale this is from the chaiman i hope this puts the crap the arsenal are selling team. i dont know why tabloys have such big problem arsenal ,why do they come up with these stories. arsenal are looking to keep all of our players but hleb looks likely to leave but i feel if nasri deal goes through we will be fine
ok 17 more years means not buying stars for 17 more years… but this has been his philosophy all along.
The selling of stars is a bit scary… but its completely logical… while you have a debt of a new stadium you can’t go overboard. Mayb with kroenke coming to the board we might get a bit more to spend. But the way we played last season without any big stars at the start of the season… I am hopefull about this one.
I think the forward line of vela and dudu will be something worth to look forward to.
Clearly fergie has his minds on winning everything in sights… but he has a short sight doesn’t he. It takes just one or two seasons of no trophys to turn into a leeds.
Wenger’s philosophy of doing the right things and refrain from winning at all costs mentality if commendable.
