You mean the same Sir Henry Norris banned from football in 1927 for making an illegal financial approach to Charlie Buchan?

Funnily enough, decades later, they had a manager who liked to keep the "club fines" in his desk drawer and then it somehow find it way to his own pocket and his agent mate.

I think it also needs pointing out that Chapman, renowned as a great innovator on the field, was also one of the dodgiest managers known in England. Banned for life when at Leeds City, he escaped because he was preoccupied with war work at the time of the offences and was free to carry on with all manner of under the counter payments. While at Arsenal he hit on the idea of combing through Burke's peerage to ferret out any peer who knew nothing about football to become a director so that the authorities wouldn't enquire into the club's finances! Arsenal - the establishment club. I haven't asked George Graham to validate this so ....
 
for 500k a week your christening a massive ego and crowning him the star man. despite your sovereign wealth you have exercised restraint where Man United haven't when it comes to dishing out wages. This signing comes with risks
Thanks for the input. Really appreciate it, means a lot to us.
Now kindly fuck off.
 
I just find it utterly bizarre that fans of lesser teams keep on acting really concerned about our transfer dealings.

"I think they're getting ripped off."

"Are they really going to pay those wages?"

"What if it causes unrest amongst the squad?"

"Are they overstocked in that position?"

"He'll be a squad player."

"Does he suit Pep's style?"

Believe it or not, there is no chance of Haaland or any other acquisition destabilising what has been built here but it's sweet of you to show concern.

The only risks are for your club and the rest of the cartel clubs. Just admit that the prospect of City signing Haaland is making you fill your pants. Put a nappy on
