Yeah, of course it has Stop trying to sweep it under the carpet. Without Roman, you would not have anywhere near the trophy haul you have. He basically bought you those titles and you know it. Before Roman, you were nowhere ****ing near the title. Trying to deny it is like a Creationist trying to deny the existence of Evolution.
One more time, so maybe even you can understand it. I am not denying it......... I am saying....so....****ing......what? It's like saying all the money you earn from your new stadium doesn't count so anything you win from now is "arbitrary".
I am not calmed up, puddin Yes he bought our titles, same as the thieving, scheming, money grubbing Arsenal board bought your last 2 FA Cups.
Yes, because of course our approach has been to enlist a billionaire to pump endless cash into our club to buy our trophies.
No it has been to enlist a board of billionaires to bleed your club dry of its income whilst winning 0 titles. A much more sound plan. Like I said, if you are so bitter and insecure that you need to resolve Chelsea's success in your head as "arbitrary" in order to get through the day, then have at it hoss.
Our board of directors don't take any dividends out of the club, so that's that little rant of yours ****ed Far from being bitter, I'm simply telling it how it is. Without Roman you wouldn't have had the 'success' you had. He bought it for you.
Who'd he buy them from then? Who was selling them? You keep believing the bullshit about dividends mate. Kroenke's firm took £3m last year alone in "advisory" fees. That was just one payment. If you truly believe the Arsenal board are just earning all this money just to save it up and keep it in the bank for a rainy day then you are thicker than Harry Kane's forehead You melt!
He bought them from other shareholders who specified that the directors take no dividends from the club You can check our publicly available accounts to verify that and debunk your 'bleed us dry' bollocks if you like ?
They don't take dividends...of course they don't. they would be strung up by the fans. Anyone who knows anything about accounting knows there are a million ways to extract money from an asset that look less "cynical".
They do it every year buddy. Wenger is given the bare minimum he says he will need to keep the CL bucks rolling in. Every year your turn over increases. ****ing dividends! Christ, you don't put it down as a dividend! I bet if you looked at the complete Arsenal ledger for the financial year, you would see miscellaneous construction and upkeep work, paid at top dollar, to firms who just happen to be owned or part owned by Arsenal board members. Funny that. Oh AFC paid £200,000 to the firm that cleans the toilets last month.....Oh it cost them £3m last year in "advisory fees", That firm thats subcontracted in charge of groundskeeping......£1m a month....thats one expensive lawn mower. It all gets lumped together in the overheads.
Link yourself. Yeah, I got links to all the extortion the Arsenal board have been doing....its right there on t'internet, just gotta google it..... (that was sarcasm by the way) Don't worry, I am wrong, I am sure they are putting it all in a biiiiig piggy wiggy bank for good old Arsene to go on a £200m spending spree in January. Wait and see, maybe it will be in the next window....
Go on then, post the links to back up your claim that Arsenal's shareholders 'bled the club dry' by paying £200,000 last month to toilet cleaners
Forget the waffle and post the links to back up your claims that the Shareholders 'bled the club dry' by spending £200,000 on toilet cleaners last month.
I dont have them ****ing links you complete and utter twat. You think billionaires leave internet links trailing their extortion so people can show naive helmets like you whats actually going on? The money goes to one of three places 1) Back into the club, in the form of investment in facilities and assets - Nope 2) Into the bank and left there. 3) Into someone pocket You think 2, just because....... I think 3 because I know business and I know many business owners/board members. Believe what you want buttercup. Like i said earlier, whatever helps you sleep at night. Our trophies are "arbitrary" and your board takes no money from the club Sleep tight
This is all very entertaining reading... But I can't help thinking you should just stick to the point you made about Chelsea using money to buy trophies as "so what?" If Arsenal used Usmanov's money to win the CL and a few leagues I wouldn't give a stuff. And I'd laugh at fans who tried to claim the victory was hollow. It would probably make it even sweeter that it was riling them up. Anyone who claims that trophies won by big spending are hollow trophies is just jealous, plain and simple.
