abbey621: Stop saying what you don't know! Chelsea FC plc is the company which owns Chelsea Football Club. The ultimate parent company of Chelsea FC plc is Fordstam Limited and the ultimate controlling party of Fordstam Limited is Roman Abramovich. Abramovic owns team Chelsea but the CPO owns the land the stadium is built upon. Abramovic can always build a new stadium, once he is able to secure a marketable site, the CPO are nothing without Team Chelsea. Like I've said before, the real Chelsea fans want a new stadium, the CPO does not represent the true views of Chelsea fans, I don't expect you to know the difference because you are not a premium Chelsea member!

lekkie073: Shut ur fhucking mouf up! Abrahamovic is still 52nd richest in d world. Whr is usmanov on d ranking?

abbey621: It's the same reason, anyone holds on to an investment that is worth potentially 3 times its current worth, if it was up to the fans that land would be sold already but the real landowners are just a bunch of greedy individuals looking to squeeze out the most money as possible. Abrahamovic is a businessman and has several options for new stadiums, he's just looking for the most economical plan. Trust me Chelsea will have a New Stadium within the next 5 years, even if he has to name it after one of his oil companies.

nolongtin: WHY DIDNT THE LAND OWNERS OF STAMFORD BRIDGE/SHARE HOLDERS AND FANS SELL D FREE HOLD TO ABRAMOVIC?I WANT ANSWERS?

abbey621: I'm a Chelsea fan true and true but I don't go for sentiments, Usmanov is richer than Abrahamovic, in fact he's the richest man in Russia.

samuelee1: Though am nt a chelsea fan, bt i love clubs dat face reality, & sori 2 say bt Arsenal dont. U made mention of torres, ramires & co, bt u seize 2 4get dat ramires & torres scored vital goals dat won chelsea dose big trophies. Imagine torres who cost £50m (even though he dint score lots of goals, bt form is temporal, and class is permanent) who has spent jst 2 seasons wit chelsea and has won the FA cup and the UCL, & compare him 2 RVP who has spent 8 seasons wit Arsenal, and has notin 2 show 4 it, wich would u prefer?

abbey621: Apply for Chelsea fan membership, pay for the premium and you'll have access to in- depth information about the club. I'm not just a Chelsea fan by mouth, I'm a blue blood true and true, I bet you've never seen an Arsenal or Chelsea match live and yet you call yourself a football fan.

abbey621: Stop saying nonsense! If you knew anything about top managed clubs, there's a financial system in place, Abrahamovic has a series of investments laid out to keep Chelsea running for the next 50 years, so shut your mouth! You talk about Usmanov but you failed to point out the truth that he only controls 15% of the stakes at Arsenal, because he believes the club is a risky investment, you can't compare someone like that to the great Abrahamovic, who invested 100% in Chelsea and is ripping the rewards, having won all the major competition a top club can win. From the business perspective, a club is more about the brand and the fans than any other thing because they are the one's that buy the tickets, the jerseys and other things, so winning trophies is important. Wenger was voted best coach in the world, so was Mourinho & Ancelotti, so talk better! Real Arsenal Fans can't deny that there's something wrong with going trophy-less, and in a league with a rejuvenated Man City, a stronger Chelsea and the consistent Manchester United, Arsenal are not going to win the league, without changing their mentality, football is not only about business!

Niiade: what that suppose to mean uhnnnn Mr Ticket

Niiade: FUNDING OF THE STADIUM.
after applying for public subsidy and REJECTED.The club therefore sought other ways to generate income, namely by adopting a policy of buying football players for a low transfer fee and selling high as well as agreeing sponsorship deals. Arsenal recouped over £50 million from transfers involving Nicolas Anelka to Real Madrid (economics Wenger na him work be that)
In September 2000, Granada Media Group purchased a five-percent stake in Arsenal at a price of £47 million.[35] As part of the acquisition, Granada became the premier media agent for the football club, handling advertising, sponsorship, merchandising, publishing and licensing agreements.[35]


The Emirates Stadium sign
After announcing pre-tax loss of £22.3m for the financial year 2001–02, the club formulated plans to reduce their wage bills in order to continue with the stadium work (REASON U DO SLAVE TRADE N PAY LOWER INCOME).
Arsenal secured a £260 million LOAN from a group of banks led by the Royal Bank of Scotland in April 2003, the club suspended work on Ashburton Grove citing in a statement, "We have experienced a number of delays in arrangements for our new stadium project in recent months across a range of issues. The impact of these delays is that we will now be unable to deliver a stadium opening for the start of the 2005–06 season."Due to lack of money arsenal urged interest in a relaunched bond scheme via the club website.club planned to issue 3,000 bonds for between £3,500 and £5,000 each for a season ticket at Highbury, then at Ashburton Grove.[38] Arsenal supporters reacted with surprise to the reintroduction of the bond scheme with AISA chairman Steven Powell adding: "We are disappointed that the club has not consulted supporters before announcing a new bond scheme."

Sportswear provider Nike signed a contract extension with Arsenal in August 2003 to remain as the club's official kit supplier.[46] This was presented as a solution to the stadium financing; in addition to paying £55 million over seven years, Nike paid a minimum of £1 million each year as a royalty fee, dependant on sales.[47] Wenger said of the announcement: "It has been a big target of mine to participate in pushing the club forward and relocating to a new stadium is a necessity as it will enable us to become of one the biggest clubs in the world (I NEVER SEE ANY CUP SINCE THEN O) Interest on the £260 million debt was set at a commercial fixed rate over a 14-year period.It was the first publicly marketed, asset-backed bond issue by a European football club and due to be paid back over a 25-year period;

On 5 October 2004, Emirates Airline signed a 15-year contract with Arsenal estimated at £100 million. Under the deal, the group secured naming rights to the stadium and shirt sponsorship when the club's deal with O2 expired at the end of the 2005–06 season. The stadium name is often colloquially shortened from "Emirates Stadium" to "The Emirates",


See the fact of how the stadium came to light dont make it sound like it was caused by the fact you didnt buy players, you sold everything sell and borrowed everthing borrowable to build a stadium. still Old trafford is bigger and better. still The Chelsea club onwer has spent over 1 billion pounds on his club. meaning he can buy and build two EMIRATES and still SMILE. Abegi you are just making the usual Arsenal noise ehn.................................. You na dey try but una no be am at all

spyder880: Billions being spent, people talking trash, abi na the man say make you no get money?

Niiade: Oga OP. no disrespect but i heard you said arsenal built a stadium,
two questions
The one used by other clubs are they borrowed or stolen?
Lastly why is it called EMIRATES ehn?
please read up on the emirate deal dont make me choke.
Anything can happen in football but really those days of fluke and slave trade is over na. EYES ARE OPEN OPENER OPENEST.

Dondbuzor: @op I wonder If u have common sense.
Wots the essence of football if not for scoring goals and winning trophies.
If arsenal makes $100mill, wots use is it to u?
Are u a shareholder. So tell me d benefit is has on u.
A club that can't boast of a single trophy for 7yrs is not worth having fans.
Imagine d kind of joy and happiness u ve each time ur club wins a trophy, which d benefit of being a fan to a club. But dats wot u lacked for in complete 7yrs and u ve d got to come here and say some shiit about other clubs beefing u.
I think u nees some rest.
Blues in ma blood

davies123: Abi o! Or na Dangote cement company or Julius begger(building stadium)!Last time I check a football club was supposed to be competing for trophies and not a money makin machine for a few board member + coach.where board members will spend peanuts on d players and used money to buy exotic yacht for themselves at d expensense of d poor fans who ll be spending their money on tickets season in season out without a single cup!
Arsenal fans r leaving in d past imagine ther still talking abt "the invincibles" up till date-almost a dacade
now!

1025: see, players are bought based on what they have done so what they will do afterwards no one can tell. if podolski has done much, more clubs will come for him at a higher rate. if u look at wenger, he likes them young because there will be more room for them to develop. there is no assurance for any player when he changes club.
barca bought ibrahimovic with 40 million euros plus etoo and fils but they begged millan to give them 10 million. i am not praying that any player flops at any club but most arsenal players who do well at the end of the season move away. i hope u get me now. many epl clubs do not have the type of patience arsenal have so what they want is tested and trusted. the two new players arsenal just bought will start attracting other clubs from august and if they do well, possibilities are there that they will wear a different jersey come january.

lekkie073: The last time united spent heavily, they won d champions league and epl, chelsea keep spending heavily therby winning 3epl and finally d champions league. Mancity spent heavily and won d fa cup and epl in subsequent years. Arsenal...spending 10million for a player...the player will play 10million equivalent of football for u. I know one thing for sure, if rvp leaves, gunners я in for Poo.

1025: @harryobas,
no vex abeg, how many did osaze score and how many did yakubu score? believe me brother, if vulture na good meat, ppl of the olden days for chop am.
if podoslki is the player u think, other clubs for go for him. no be here we dey wenger chase chamakh for 4 seasons until he became a free agent? wey chamakh now? ashravin nko? we dey look.
mark my words and today's date, wenger has lost touch with current football and if things no change soon, fans will throw objects at him this season. i said mark my words and today's date.

1025: uncle am not ur guy, u can address me as 1025 thank u. i know u have been following the progress in epl these days. any player that signs 5 years contract for 10 million has not class. podolski played in a relegated club in germany and that is where wenger picked him from. you need better money to buy a germany international that is hot. pls do not expect much from the guy. na small small clubs dey spend 10 million these days on players not top 4 teams. any player that costs 25 to 50 must have something in him. arsenal fans were more worried over the price of torres until the day torres shut barca up. big players like drogba, ramires, david luiz, brother mikel etc play big games.
can i ask u, what if arsenal was in finals with buyern with ur john terry, ivanovic,ramires and meirales all suspended, who would have played the game for u ppl talk-less of winning it? it is difficult to see players that have no quality that cost a lot of money.
