I disagree, I think lots of fans (not including anyone in particular, I just want to say this) don’t get how key Kamara and Pau are to the team with how the ball gets forward from Pau and how Kamara drops in and out of the back line. the rest of it is form moreno is off at the moment as is Diaby hence the big improvement when Bailey came on. this team needs 2 new players and many have said it all season a DM and RB. Apparently we have no money to do it but then we sign some kids, so I suspect we will pick things back up but I don’t see us keeping two points per game up, I feel we are going to need CL to go to 5th place for us to get in and I’m not too comfortable about Chelsea/Newcastle who’s form has been improving

People. Going to admit the wheels have come off post the city game yet?

Correct Arsenal were Arsenal. They didn’t have rich owners, and had to borrow the money for an entirely new stadium. Financially, how has that gone for them?

I think we are done

Then let’s stop spending loads on players and build the infrastructure instead

That simple calculation shows it wouldn’t be far off servicing the debt created if we borrowed the money to do so. its simplistic because it doesn’t calculate the unknown extra revenue you get from corporate/catering/villa live etc….. that’s extra revenue. You are like a dog chasing its tail, you keep asking the same questioning thinking it’s some clever retort, it’s not those intangibles to us fans just increase the revenue making it viable to borrow. This completely just ignores they could pay for it themselves.

Welcome to stupid ffp regs

I already have and you posed the same question. Get a new line, I don’t agree.

Done in a much higher interest era, how’s it going for Arsenal now?

No we apply that people on here ask questions repeatedly that are impossible to answer by a fan as they aren’t the person making the decision

Simply non sense

Bingo, and that’s if we borrow the money if the owners just pay for it as a way of generating more revenue for tightening FFP restrictions it allows more spending.

Have I not already said during this conversation i don't know

I can think of a few obvious ones that that have had that most don't to my knowledge.

you can simply divide the current revenue by current attendance and then times it by the added capacity. The intangibles for us fans are what those numbers are for this year with the higher prices, and what will be brought in by for want of a better word 'corporate' as that is where the serious revenue increase comes from with these projects. If you can make it break even at the start then debt only gets cheaper as money devalues and prices go up, it is all very simple.

I have no idea. First you think they don't want to pay out their own pocket which is a little worrying, but, then you think well they could borrow against the club and do it and have decided not to do it. There is no way a new stand wouldn't pay for itself if we borrowed the money to do it....... So I have no idea.

Anything other than doing everything we can to the maximum extent to secure CL football isn’t acceptable.

I know what some people are saying, I'm saying it will be 3%, its important for my job to know. What happens in 2025 I'm not sure if it will continue to nose dive or if they will be sensible and hold it there.

touche! Sangare

Yes I understand the rates but it wouldn’t be taken out today the base rate will be 3 by the end of the year.

I stand by that this new guy is doing really dumb stuff, badge/stand. the owners have been great, maybe this comes from them, they obviously don’t disagree as they are letting him do this. this WILL set us back, every year that passes we fall behind another 100m on the people they want and we want to compete with.

He doesn’t do anything well enough to fulfill what Kamara does. im not saying he is crap but we have specific requirements he doesn’t meet. if we had money I would suggest a lad Forrest signed in the summer as they have FFP issues.

has he said that? we have a 30k waiting list.

5% would be an expensive loan on 1 billion, could probably get 3% in the coming couple of years. Also the debt will devalue as the cash becomes less valuable and as prices go up. It 100% would make commercial success if they found the right site.

I don't see him being moulded into a DCM at all. As for letting Donk go out on loan, I assume we are bringing someone in or of course we have just weakened ourselves.
