ARSENE WENGER WILL BANKRUPT OUR CLUB

Post by frankbutcher »

- Shit team leads to....
- No Europe, which leads to......
- Shit attendances, which leads to.....
- Shit commercial deals.....
- Which leads to fire-sale of top players.....
- Which leads to even worse teams.....
- Which leads to lower attendances......
- And so on, and so on.

As someone who can read a set of accounts, I want you to know that a lot of people have been fooled. We DON'T make a profit. Now the property deals are up, the cash has been banked and not re-invested. We now BREAK-EVEN. Our wage bill is a joke. Apart from the players, Wenger is on £7m, Rice on £1m, Gazidis on £1,7m last season. The rest of the Commercial Team are on c. £5m per year. Where is the return on investment for that lot?

If Wenger clings on to power he will bankrupt us. It might look pretty now, but it really isn't. At exactly the time we needed to be successful on the pitch, Wenger has failed us. When we become a top-8 side, I don't want to bear thinking about how far we can fall.

The rats have already started fleeing the ship...... and we're headed for a financial iceberg.

Heard it here last.

How the sweet fuck is Pat Rice on 1m a year?

I actually believe you Frank, but I just wonder how on earth AFC justify that.

Two gooners bumped into recently, 27 years and now deferred season ticket.
44 years and did not even bother to defer just let it go! This is not a coincidence, soon matches will generally be general sale.

Can't disagree but aren't the shit commercial deals already in place thanks to Edelman's great business acumen prior to the move?

I would trust Frank on this. He has I believe inside info... His decision as to whether he tells you where it's from.

Rice is on £20k per week. He's the Assistant Manager. What is surprising about that? He's only on £5k per week more than what half the youth team are on. :roll:

Our Club's out-goings will very quickly become more than its incomings. It's going to happen. Edelman might have done some shit deals, but I think we'll be lucky to sign up to the same terms once we are a top 8 team. Who wants to sponsor a team that's not in Europe?

Wenger will bankrupt us. I have no doubt.
