Case in hand. Theo Walcott. It seems hes going to accept 90k a week at arsenal the latest reports say. However hes been sat there for the past 18months looking at wages at city for example going sort it out arsene I want what they have. So arsenal have had to cave and considerably up his wage. Thats going to be £2mill lost to the club. How can they recuperate these extra costs. By looking at increasing the two largest components of revenue commercial deals and MATCHDAY REVENUE.
Its not a case of "All clubs are guilty" its simply a case of they need to find a way to keep their businesses running and competitive. Take a closer look at yourselves at what you are doing to the football market across europe not just UK.

Don't hate the player; hate the game. We're playing by the rules you and the other big boys laid down in the earlier days of the Premier League. Sol Campbell was the first £100K a week player for example. It's frustrating watching other clubs buy the best players and pay bigger wages isn't it?

Well said. Ridiculous hypocrisy by an Arsenal fan (yet again). "City/Chelsea ruined football"....blah, blah, blah. Get off your high horse. The reason football finds itself in the current position of inflated prices (both player wages and tickets, etc) is because of the commercialisation of the Premier League and Champs League over the past 20 years. Something you didn't seem to be whining about 8 years ago. Get over yourselves. Football has changed and Arsenal should share the blame.
We've sold out the 2000, and sent back 900 because they weren't selling.Young Blue said:We've sold out accordingly to the club, I'd rather believe them over the Daily Mail...
