@Tkb

I wasn't trying to act like someone out there was a better risk analyst. No!. . . It hit everyone real hard and unexpectedly. No matter how try to hide under the shadows of the recession though, the fact is we all have bitten more than we can chew is why we are hit hard.
My citing of Arsenal's risk analysis is that they built their stadium at the wrong time. . Though they probably signed and sealed the building years even before the early signs of the recession became clear.
I don't know how they are repaying - if the facility was on variable interests, they could have benefited from the decline in interest rates.
The problem is when it is fixed.

My point is the expected income levels from the sale, lease/rent of property in Highbury and the Emirates have plunged. .but selling players to meet up with forecast annual earnings to refinance their loans, I think, is not the way out either. I am not a pro. . . but like someone said, football is entertainment. The fans make the club. This is not a typical business where you could offload some assets to stay afloat, the business in this case is massively hinged on appeal - entertainment!

If Arsenal don't appeal to their fans like they used to, you'll see decline in attendance, decline in merchandising, and thereby affecting earnings even more. When that happens, they can't attract big players any more, which will hamper their chances of qualifying and reaching the last stages of cup competitions where the mega bucks is.

This to me smells like a gradual but sure meltdown. . Hence my improper risk analysis rants.
I may be wrong on all this, like I said I am not a pro. Just my opinion.

Is Arsenal not a listed company on the exchange?
Arsenal's financial problems don't have to come from AW. .
Isn't it in public domain.?
What Arsenal is going to do with the money they have is what may not be in public domain.

Bottom line is Arsenal's mortgage's in negative equity . . . They are currently paying more than their stadium is worth.
And Highbury is now worth far less than they thot it'll be.
Improper fiscal and risk analysis. . . across the board. . . field and boardroom!

Maybe you should just sell Fab to City tomorrow. . .

SSN: Toure signs for ManCity.


Official.

So their Reserves will be like

Dunne
Zabaleta
kompany
Fernandez
SWP
Petrov
Bellamy
Roque


Can't tell if I am missing out on someone. . . They are still better equipped for injuries than you.
And don't act like we don't know RVP, Rosicky, Nasri and Fab will be visiting the meds soon. .

So very soon . . . We should see them line up like this



------------------------Given-------------------------

-Richards------Toure----Lescott-------Bridge---

---------De Jong------

--------Barry---- -----Ireland------

-----Tevez --Ade/Roque- ----Robinho-



This worries me . . . and they could buy even more if they want to.

Hear he is having a med in Manchester. . .

MrCrackles:
I aint a tape so why should i mask?

eeerm. . . That was suppose to humour rite?
You guys are so broke now you can't even afford a decent crack at humour?

You r missing the point. . .
I didn't say you have to win the league or CL. . . If every team has older players, only one of them can win things at a time.
The point is you will be a top team. . . a top team is what I said . . not a conqueror.
I was saying in those days, Arsenal will win the league is what the fans said b4 the season starts. . .

Now you are just like Athletico Madrid, who boast about buying Torres for pennies and selling them off for millions.
Even Villa and Everton can now say the target is the top four and they know it's not at the expense of Chelsea, ManU or Pool. . .

Nah, over-priced remains the term. You are paying a 'price' (i.e wages) for his services. Leave the grammar to me.  Cool

Hey don't put the cart before horse. . .
You didn't say "buying" a "price" . . (if anything like that exists) . . which will be appropriate when using "over-priced"
Rather you said "paying" a "price" . . . which I think qualifies "overpaid" instead of "overpriced" . . .

So "pay a price" not "price a pay" (if anything like that exist). . .  Hence the cart b4 the horse thingy!


Away from grammar. . .


ManCity will bid £45m for Fab?
you must be high on an extinct chemical compound!

More on OAPs . . .

Every top team has Relics that provide 15mins of football every other game and a life-time of football wisdom.
When Arsenal was successful, Winterburn was 33, Dixon 32, Keown, 34 Adams 35. . That was your entire back 4 . . .

What happened now. ?

You are paying for Sturridge's services no? His wages are excessive so he is overpriced gerrit?

You pro'ly meant to say over-paid in this instance didn't ya? . . . 
That said, he isn't.

How would you sell? Who wants to buy a bunch of overpaid, creaky OAPs?

You don't get it. . . There's a difference between won't sell and can't sell. . .
We could have sold Terry and boast to the world that he came up for next to nothing and sold him 14 years l8r for £45m . . . but some things are more important than mortgage repayments and player trading . . . 


Ok. . . .Let's talk about OAPs . . . which of your players can be valued at £45m assuming it was only ManCity offering?

@Diva

They run stories of Pato as well. They even run stories of Maldini.
I just think it's easy to link Lampard and Drogba with Inter cos of Jm
It'll be easy to link Messi, Iniesta and Xavi with Chelsea if Pep joins tomorrow. . .


I just think sometimes they run stories so that if it turns out true, they can say you saw it here first.

"Genuine title contenders" . . .

debosky:
Morons like the poster above should be banned from this thread - we can't allow idiocy to spread freely around here.

A geriatric club's fan is coming here to spew rubbish? Away with you old maid!  

Calling Vermaelen useless when all they've acquired are our left overs in Russia and a player called johnbull and an overpriced kid rejected by the new cash daddies in town. What an irony.  

Left over in Russia is what you call Zhirkov? Now I see why you are an Arsenal fan.
Turnbull is a goal keeper . . He may never have the chance except AW tells Diaby to do a JT to Petr Cech. .
And Sturridge is not over-priced, we got him on a free. Gerrit  

And we've not sold. We bolster! That's what we do. We don't sell except you can't be saved.
We have the Highest goal scorer and the best striker in the world on his day . . .
We have the most consistent midfield player in recent years. . .

What have you got?
Plus the transfer market is not over. . . . Watch what is coming next. . .

@Ibime

They reported an "EXCLUSIVE". . . "JT to join City in a few days". . That did not come true.
This article states "CHELSEA TABLE OFFER FOR PIRLO". . . . It sounds conclusive.
They the go on to write "CHELSEA HAVE BEEN LINKED WITH . . . . . "



That's lazy journalism!

MrCrackles:
The reason why you dont understand your scouts is because they are fucking clueless!
Pensioners and OAP's are Chelsea's favourites!
Buncha bloody Druggy Drogbas!

You are trying to state ideas. . considering which camp you hail from.
You are not even masking.




@Diva

Don't believe those stories. . This same paper reported exclusive on JT joining ManCity in a fews days.
Our scouts are tracking the finest stars in the trade. . see aw things will unfold in a few years.
Kakuta, Mancienne, DiSanto and Sturridge will break into the first team and that'll unveil fresh eras.
Dzagoev et al are the future of Chelsea. . Mark my words.

@Ibime

Don't get worked up . . Of course it's all a load of dust. There hasn't been any Chelsea gist in the news lately. Someone had to write something. Chelsea news sells.


@Dyabman.

Why is Pirlo good for us ?

Common Man . . there can't be a billion theories out there . . . 

@Debo

What are you talking about. . . ? I gave you three instances Villa, Everton and Arsenal.
You are giving me Chelsea. . . That said, Robinho was never a Chelsea player.
I don't get your argument.

Three instances are good enough to create a hypothesis. . . One can't be enough.
Plus look at the players he bought. . . when he could have bought Diaby and Sederos from Arsenal, Phil Neville from Everton and Sidwell from Villa.

I don't anticipate your acceptance anyway. . .

Sparky knows the teams in contention for that fourth spot are Arsenal, Everton and Villa.
Not only are his targets and signings going to help his team, they (his signings) weaken the teams in contention for that top spot.
Barry, Lescott, Toure and Adebayor were/are key players in their clubs.

Although some will disagree.

He's long needed that goal . .
It'll do his confidence some good. .
Goodness how elated he was . . .

Good Assist from DiSAnto. .

Maloudaaaaaaaaaa

DiSantooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Bane and Ashley coming in . . .
Poor coverage by CTV . .
Can't even show the players going out. .

Maloudaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

DiSanto needs that goal . . .

This Stadium is off the chain. . .

What was Malouda doing there?
Sheva did well there . .
