Do you even know what I'm talking about?Its not really tho is it.
No club has ever pumped over billion into the squad in less than a decade.
Sept the bank of roman and city![]()

You and city dont get no love bro.That's quite normal mate.

Just clubs that acquired the finances to compete at the top. They've still got to spend it well, employ managers that can bring in the right players and then actually coach them into a winning team.
Arsenal are no different. You were on the verge of bankruptcy and going into oblivion. You weren't big-time, then big investment came and you were known as the Bank of England club and used record breaking salaries to attract the top managers and players about. You are no different to Chelsea and Man City, you just done it earlier than them.
Do you know im talking about?Do you even know what I'm talking about?![]()
He's pissed mate. Ignore him.Do you even know what I'm talking about?![]()

Thomas cook has deals on at the mo mate.He's pissed mate. Ignore him.

Sunderland
The "Bank of England club" has also been used to describe Sunderland in the late 1940s[10] and the 1950s.
The club paid £18,000 (£641,000 today) for Carlisle United's Ivor Broadis in January 1949.[11] Broadis was also Carlisle's manager at the time, and this is the first instance of a player transferring himself to another club.[12] This, along with record-breaking transfer fees to secure the services of Len Shackleton and the Welsh international Trevor Ford, resulted in the club being nicknamed the "Bank of England club"
lol.
And we don't care.That came about though because we moved to Highbury, where we had record gate receipts and associated income. We also had decent financial reserves. So we spent what we earned. Unlike Chelsea and City who were doped with a massive cash injection.
He's a good player still but it was too quick a game for him at 35. Deffo 2nd yellow.Was a good game though Milner should have been off ! Great player but looks like a pi55ed up Jamie Carragher ?
Eh? I won't deny Sunderlands history and if anything you are proving my pointSunderland

Money isn't everything and it needs to be spent well.

A bronze bust of Herbert Chapman stands inside Emirates Stadium
With a new home and First Division football, attendances were more than double those at the Manor Ground, and Arsenal's budget grew rapidly.[36][37] Their location and record-breaking salary offer lured star Huddersfield Town manager Herbert Chapman in 1925.[38][39] Over the next five years, Chapman built a new Arsenal. He appointed an enduring new trainer Tom Whittaker,[40] implemented Charlie Buchan's new twist on the nascent WM formation,[41][42] captured young players like Cliff Bastin and Eddie Hapgood, and lavished Highbury's income on stars like David Jack and Alex James. With record-breaking spending and gate receipts, Arsenal quickly became known as the Bank of England club.
Transformed, Chapman's Arsenal claimed their first national trophy, the FA Cup, in 1930, and League Championships followed in 1930–31 and 1932–33.[45] Chapman also presided over off the pitch changes: white sleeves and shirt numbers were added to the kit;a Tube station was named after the club;[49][50] and the first of two opulent, Art Deco stands was completed, with some of the first floodlights in English football.[37] Suddenly, in the middle of the 1933–34 season, Chapman died of pneumonia.[51] His work was left to Joe Shaw and George Allison, who saw out a hat-trick with the 1933–34 and 1934–35 titles, and then won the 1936 FA Cup and 1937–38 title.
