Arsenal Slip on Deloitte Money League table

Utopia is the world wenger thinks we all should live in.

Don't give a flying fcuk about Deloitte money list cos at the end of the day the clubs wealth is kroenke's wealth and it won't matter a jot to us fans.
Don't give a flying fcuk about the share price of the club either - as fans we wont gain a penny and the club itself won't earn a crust regardless of whether the shares reach a record high price or if they crash and burn and become totally worthless. Syrup head is the guy who will be most affected by share prices.
Don't give a flying fcuk about FFP either and hope that it never comes in - if it was implemented our ticket prices wouldn't decrease and nor would the cost of club merchandise so the club income would remain the same but it might allow the club to win some trophies whilst continuing to fleece us fans whilst investing fcuk all and reverting to make profits in the transfer windows Same income and less expenditure means record profits and better share prices which will again please the silent money grabbing freeloading yank b*stard - he married into a fortune and continues to earn money off other people's efforts to this day but I'm sure the sweatshop workers will be suitably rewarded

How can you not care about finances???? Any fan that spends their hard earned dosh at the emirates has every reason to question the way the club sells itself.

Until a few seasons ago, manures ticket prices where amongst the cheapest in the prem. I bet they thought, ahh if arsenal can fleece their fans so can we, after all most of our plastics come from that area! But they go further than that, they actually make tons of dosh overseas.

By having a strong commercial arm, Arsenal has a chance to reward its most loyal customers ie matchday fans by not increasing ticket prices well above inflation, as it has done over the last 20 years.

That last bit should be on lefty joke thread There are so many flaws to your thinking that I could be here all day (although steve beat me to most of them) but how you can suggest that we will be rewarded by the club is beyond me Our last ticket increase was above the rate of inflation despite the fact that there was over 100m sitting in our bank account. This ticket increase comes on top of the fact that we already had the highest ticket prices in world football If that wasn't enough, the club also increased the price of silver and red memberships which only give you the right to pay the expensive ticket prices in world football.
You decided to bring manure fans into this debate so are you aware that their club is in debt ? Yes they are strong commercially but they are still over 300m (£389m in oct 13) in debt and yet still manage to sell their tickets to fans at a little more than half the cost that our club charges us. They haven't used their fans as the cash cow to repay their debt early like we have. Despite their big debt it hasn't prevented them from spending big in the transfer market. Despite their big debt they haven't overseen a policy of continually selling their best players.

LOL at PSG 220m commercial income (64%). Yep nothing suspicious there.

If City and PSG get kicked out and UTD don't qualify we should really be moving up 4 places next year with the new sponsorship.

This completely demolishes any possible excuse for raising Season ticket prices, and makes the Bayern extra dosh even more money grabbing.
Additionally it now seems clear that the Qualifying round from 4th place is something to cheer about

Only remotely excusable if the "additional" games were the quarter finals of the FA and Championship, but then little likelihood of that

Match day income increased to £45.0 million (2012 - £37.8 million) with the Emirates Cup returning to the pre-season schedule and the UEFA Champions League qualifying round providing an additional home game.

I haven't read the latest report yet, but if arsenal want to increase revenue all they have to do is take out the nice big seats, replace them with bucket seats that you get at old Trafford, and introduce safe standing, attendances could be increased by 10,000. The commercial deals will come but it seems the most obvious way to increase global appeal is to bloody well win something...notably the Champions League. It's strange how the reports never mention winning silverware as a means to increasing revenue.

Yes then they could charge £100 to have your photo taken with the Emirates Cup or League Cup yay
