Arsenal happens to be the 7th most valuable sport club in the world and third most valuable football club in the world presently according to facts gathered and collated by forbes', though the most valuable sport club remains Man United and real madrid coming in 6th position. but the likes of chelsea (even with roman's money), liverpool, Man city( even with the sheiks) and barcelona do not come close to first ten most valuable sport clubs in the world.

Man United is worth $1.87 billion and arsenal is worth $1.2billion

always read the fine-print. It's all an illusion.

1 Value of team based on past transactions and current stadium deals (unless new stadium is pending) without deduction for debt.

Buncha broke-ass, debt- ridden clubs!!

mind you, there is no single business in this world that is debt-free and according to forbes', most clubs worth are more than their debt.

look on that list. check the debts of some of the clubs on that list

*checks it* Lord have mercy

Chelsea owes 92% of their "value".
Arsenal owe more than their "value"
Man Utd owe 54% of their value.

Now they will all run and say "all big business owe tonnes of money". But look at the other clubs on the list and compare them. Bayern owes NADA. Barca owes 7%, and it'll be paid off by october.  All these English clubs na just grags. 

Everybody knows Liverpool have financial issues and they're up on the List. That should tell u that list don't mean shit. Na onigbese full there. Chelsea is different cause the debt is owed to Roman so no one is going to come after them, but Liverpool is almost toast, and Man Utd isn't far behind. It is all an illusion.

[size=16pt]DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!![/size] 

EPL teams are safe don't get it twisted. The Bigboys most definitely have nothing to worry about. Manchester United are the biggest sports brand name in the world guarranteeing no company would ask for their money back in a hurry. Liverpool and Man united especially are far from toast.

Banks no send anybody papa. If they don't make their interest payment they will take old trafford and sell it to the highest bidder (If u like sef me and u fit join money make we sef bid). Patience ko, wisdom ni. banks are legit gangsta's mehn, they'll flip old trafford in a minute.

How come the other big clubs don't owe so much? u think they can't find people to lend them money?

just wait and see.

I don't believe 2

Yes ooo lets wait and see . Man united can never,I repeat can never go bankrupt. Their mortgage is well financed and managed. Madrid might be the worlds biggest football team,Man united is however the Biggest sports Brand name in the world bar none.

well saying they are one of the most valuable sport clubs in the world does not mean they have got debt up to their sleeves but when owners decide to sell, then most of 'em if not all are bound to make profit. my beloved arsenal owes because of the new stadium we built and we are really servicing our debt. It has to run for 25 years though,

Thats not the point. Being a big brand does not mean u can not go under. It just means with a new plan, and new investments, u already have a strong base to build on. If they have financial issues they will be attractive to investors, but being a big brand has nothing to do with whats going on in the books. Huge debt is huge debt, and if u can't pay up u're in trouble.
