Fulham fan in peace (so i am totally neutral) Looking at the last 5 years and the transfer policy and the share price continues to rise, I am thinking are you getting ripped off, I can remember about 8 years ago AFC share price was £600 (i wish i bought some) now its about 10k, So the share holders have become very rich, this is why the really rich people invested in Arsenal. You sell out every week, probably get bigger gate receipts than man.u. Sell loads of top players for top money and dont replace it. Got a fantastic stadium cost a few quid to eat and drink there. Where is all the money going? I am watching from afar and think this cant be right, I am a football fan first, As a ffc fan i would take 1 point if you offered it me every August, When is this going to change, its not all wengers fault, some of it is the business people behind the scene who are getting richer and richer, I could be wrong because i am not a finance expert. by the way i would love to see arsenal get forth, but you should be aiming higher than this peace
If you have owners who don't love football then by nature you're going to get ripped off. If theyre not owning you for the love of the game/sports (with a bit of a salary) then they're there to use you as a cash cow with a little investment here and there, like any other business.
Probably my fault, because I used the share price from pre-Kronke to value the club in another thread. But, I don't think Arsenal shares are traded any more, since the buy out. Arsenal Holdings PLC shares are actually 1.5M right now.
No - we have a debt, how much seems to be the subject of debate, but it is one of the larger ones. It is seemingly considered "good debt" though, as most of it is a mortgage on the stadium.
The Arsenal fans that pay a fortune to watch effortless mediocre performance by our players, Wengers embarrassing excuses and put up with conniving owners ARE CLEARLY GETTING RIPPED OFF.
Yes i'd agree, we are inconsistent. But when we don't perform then we do look quiet mediocre at times. I remember a few years ago, when we still wasn't winning stuff, we used to play blinding football most of the time. Teams used to fear playing us and used to struggle. Most of the time, they were fairly lucky to score or even win. Now we have trouble playing most teams in the premiership. I doubt the team of 05-08 would struggle against some of the teams that this team struggles against.
The goddam yank has taken over and gotten all secretive. I think he's watching the world club take-overs and will one day sell out for megabucks.
