Martin Samuel: The plot to shackle City & Chelsea

Re: The plot to shackle City & Chelsea

This really is a bit of top journalism from Martin Samuel! Makes my blood boil however!

However, in terms of the implications of these findings, what could this lead to? Anybody like Prestwich Blue have a full idea of it's implications?

It's too late probably. From next year, with hopefully a better run in the CL and the new TV and Nike deals, plus we'll have cleared out the last of the deadwood and player amortisation will start to fall significantly, we should be home and dry. There are also probably other commercial deals in the pipeline too.

Our ship has sailed and we aren't heading back to port anytime soon.

Also, we still need to get our £150m/season sponsorship from the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority - if PSG get away with that then the sky is the limit on sponsorship :D

FFS what's up with you mancs ? Your as same as the chavs no class. Arsenal have had all there success and trophy winning exploits done by hard work and running a football club like it should be properly run. Spending what we have made through the turnstiles which is why we were able to fund our own 60,000 stadium.
Could you of done that noooo. Could you of won one poultry little title and fa cup without a sugar daddy nooooo.
We have been doing this for decades and the sour grapes come from your side of the fence because like the chavs you cannot buy history, you can try but forever in our shadows you will be.

As others have said "Danny Fiszman, the diamond merchant"...............say no more apart from read up on your history!!

What is Arsenal’s debt?

Total gross debt stands at £254.6m. The stadium debt has been structured to reduce gradually to zero by 2031. Arsenal pay about £14m interest per year and currently repay about £6m of capital each year.<a class="postlink" href="http://angryofislington.com/2012/10/09/arsenal-accounts-and-finances-all-explained-in-five-minutes/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://angryofislington.com/2012/10/09/ ... e-minutes/</a>

Another *plot club* drowning in debt, yet trying to preach running a club properly. Did I mention having the highest priced season tickets and match day tickets in the PL? Basically expecting their fans to pay for the stadium and pay off the debt.


You daft f***ing Gooner.

Not well up on Spurs 'istory' but the others a hypocritical c@nts!
Everyone of them got where they are by outspending other clubs due to rich owners, or by spending what they didn't earn!
Arsenal, arguably, the worst of the lot! For starters they only got into the first division by bribing their way there, at the expense of Spuds! How's that for the 'proper way' to run a club?

The very last line of the article in the OP is fascinating. Definite agenda there, though interestingly not against us.

In tomorrow's Mail...

Notice they have the only still image that shows Kompany with 2 feet of the ground!

That will ultimately be the only one that matters. If 2 feet leave the floor your deemed to be out of control of the challenge, which is deemed a red card. No chance of winning any appeal unfortunately.

you can't be sent off for tackling the ball, you have to protect yourself, it could ill you :)

They were one of the clubs who were vocal in forming the Premier League.

Re: The plot to shackle City & Chelsea

They're too late. They can't stop City anymore, we'll very close to do the job (some results in CL won't be half bad though) and they certainly can't stop Chelsea anymore, Chelsea had done their job, they are huge club and part of the elite that produces money.

What I can't understand is that Chelsea backed UEFA FFP but is not backing this one.
