Arsenal financial results

[BigAl]

£380m t/o and £56m profit

very impressive numbers but they haven't won anything for 5 years ......

[Il Postino Pat]

They are well placed to kick on though. They've suffered a few years while they sorted out the stadium but are now in a better financial position than their established rivals.

Arsenal and the German clubs will be laughing when the financial fair play rules kick in.

Exactly. Clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Man U are in hundreds of millions of debt. There's no way they'd be excluded.

However, hats off to Arsenal. They've been ran very, very well.

They deserve success and will eventually get it when all the sugar daddies move on

this.

Although there is a transitional phase which will continue over a number of years so the rules don't "kick in" in full for a while yet.

it's stating the obvious but in the last 5 years in England there are not many teams have won anything.

Man Utd
Chelsea
Portsmouth
Liverpool
Spurs

As far as progression goes i would say arsenal have had a successful 5 years, certainly more successful than at least 2 of the teams in that list.

That FA cup win was well worth the outlay for pompey. Heading for div 1 with a bullet and still a shitload a debt.
Some on here saying they'd be happy to win the fa or subbuteo cup if it meant relegation. Great idea.
