arsenal 36th apparently at 1.3 bn dollars
what gets me is evening standard reports joe lewis will value spurs after the new stadium is built (which it wont be anytime soon) at 1bn sterling!

I was surprised Arsenal were that low to be honest. Thought at least top 20.
Re: forbes rich list
its a strange list when man city are valued more then the arsenal.
Re: forbes rich list
I'm guessing that our attraction for various sponsors plays a part ? Successful teams can name their price when companies want to be associated with them, so maybe our barren spell has made us less appealing to these companies and therefore reduces our commercial value ?
At the end of the day these stats dont matter a fcuk, but by the same token I would say that it has always been noticeable to Gooners and non Gooners that we dont operate like other big clubs - forget winning trophies or buying players, the fact is that we appear intimidated by te bigger clubs (on and off the pitch) and get bullied by the big clubs when they come trying to sign our players
When you are trying to increase your stature, being viewed as a selling/feeder club does nothing to help us
