Default Arsenal football club

Apparently Arsenal are now 2nd only to Real Madrid (by a couple of mill) in revenue terms at over £200mn, more than 30 million more than the nearest British team, Man Utd. However they also managed to make over £50mn in profit!!

Quite frankly IMO it is Arsene Wenger has done this. He must actually be incarnation of God as I don't quite know how he has managed to put together such an amazing team that draws the crowds, challenge for trophies and costs so little. He is a genius and the structure we have at the club is a model for others.

We don't need any foreign ownership and it should be a lesson to all other clubs that you can build without some sugar daddy, hell we've only been at the emirates a year and we've already got £70mn for him to spend. We don't need to buy 20 million pound midfielders or strikers like our rivals to compete, we just pick them up for 200k from the congo or whatever.

Happy days at the moment being an Arsenal fan. Long live Wenger.

Ted

Still got more trophies in the cabinet then yours Paul.

A sign of a well run club (unlike another London team ) but it will have to continue to be well managed otherwise this year will mean nothing (a trophy will still be needed at the end of this season)

Haven't been in the news as we were written off by the sports writers and many fans,so we're not under the spotlight and can get on with our football business.

Wenger has been incredible for the Arsenal. He's brilliant at spotting talent, done this for so many years now. Good manager who can work with small budgets.
