Bottom line is, because of the huge LA investment, Wiggy isn't going to be spending much on Arsenal without recuperating most of it first, so the ambition will be 4th place and CL money as usual with the squad getting no better overall as we will have to sell to buy.

Sanchez to Madrid for 50m??......... :roll:

So what fucking change does that mean? Err....none.

Repeat - the owner is a bigger problem than the manager and he will slowly lead this club to midtable mediocrity but won't give a fuck because at that point the £25m or so missed from the CL will have been replaced by property profits x 10, increased media and commercial incomes and constant ticket price rises. At Arsenal you are a customer, not a supporter

He isnt a problem , he just wont going to invest anything more than he absolutely has to !

The LA deal will fund itself , he will raise the money from a cash rich hedge fund ,and then claim massive tax breaks back from the city once the deal is done ,its common practice in the USA .
He will install some walmarts there too !

I dont think it affects us 1 iota !

an NFL team in LA was always going to happen just a matter of time. and St Louis is a shit city so there's no problem moving the Rams out of Missouri.

Stan's teams are all complete mediocrity (including AFC sadly). I dont care about his MLS team (who does?) but his NBA team are consistently middle to bottom of the pack, the Rams are always either terrible or average at best and the Av's havent been good in about 15 years.

Arsene "Lord and Savior" Wenger is the primary reason AFC are in the never-ending cycle they are, but Stan "Don't Call Me the Man" Kroenke is the one allowing it. But why wouldn't he? He's only about the $$$.

without security ? thats at least a five year exit plan for any PE firm, with no cash flows or assets other than the land which is valued in the single millions.

for $800million - you is having a bubble Herd. :wink:

I couldn't give a fuck as long as it brings in £100,000,000 in sponsorship per season... if it doesn't they can fuck off!

The Kroenke family n co can raise money in an instant from many sources ,and the value of the franchise must be equivalent to the price of the loan so no I'm not having a bubble it will not affect us in the slightest !

Raiders don't belong in LA. They've always been an Oakland team and should stay there. Their short spell in LA was a travesty.
