Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

according to Nigel Phillips the spare cash is put towards champions league pot just in case we miss out so it doesn't affect us too much.

one AST member says that according to gazidis we must hold out for 2 more years until the two big commercial deals are renewed and tv deal renegotiated. this will bring in an extra £70m potentially. may provide answers for lack of transfers.

we could afford 200k a week for van persie but chose not to. however the new contract offered was the best ever contract offered to any arsenal player.

interesting.

Pedro says that within 2 years we'll be earning an additional £70m in tv and sponsorship. backs up what was mentioned earlier.

if we did not make champions league we would have made a loss of £40m+ prior to player sales.

chamakh is on 70k a week. rvp is on 85k a week. shows how distorted our wage structure is.

I reckon our offer was over £150k, considering Henry was near £150k AFAIK.

And about Chamakh being on 70k, it's because he was a free transfer. He would've been worth over £5m at the time but supposing we paid a £5m transfer fee + 45-50k a week wages - off the top of my head I think that's equivalent to 70k a week free transfer.

suggestions that R&W could pay off stadium debt as this doesnt count towards FFP rules but they'll want a return obviously. current board dont want anything to do with them. FFP allows loss on training grounds and stadiums. you can also invest unlimited amount on developing youth except on transfer fees.

kroenke's self sustaining model is to make money out of the club.

The survey was also taken before Van Persie announced he was going to leave. I think a lot would feel differently right now.

yeah that's right about chamakh. thats pretty much what was explained but i couldnt be arsed to type it all out.

regarding rvp, AST want deadline set to end negotiations and then ship him off. but obviously clubs know he wants to leave so it may run into late august.
