Had to cut those 55 jobs to be able to afford a few months of his salary. They could have kept them for maybe less than one-third of his salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not that much anyway. Well the issue isnt about the players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Is Willian a 'Chelsea reject'? I thought they'd offered him a new contract, and in any case he's a really good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Chelsea fans do not like him for some reason, every time I’ve watched them he seems to be their best player or second best after Pulisic. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 He is 32. Makes sense for Chelsea wanting to move him on. He's past his best days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Had to make some sackings to make room for Partey (who is a smashing signing) apparently. Quote 'Gunnersaurus,' Arsenal's longtime mascot, is sacked as part of cost-cutting measures, per report Beloved dinosaur mascot Gunnersaurus is no longer going to be a fixture at Arsenal games, according to The Athletic UK. The Premier League giants are making financial cuts in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, and the longtime mascot is among them. The decision comes after the club confirmed that Gunnersaurus would return back in August and wasn't going to be affected by the team's cost-cutting measures. The mascot has been a huge part of Arsenal's home games since the 1993 season. Since its inception, Jerry Quy served as Gunnersaurus and became popular within Arsenal culture. There were even Junior Gunners that imitated the Arsenal mascot Quy worked in a part-time role for the soccer club and also lost his role of supporter liaison due to the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to Arsenal getting rid of Gunnersaurus, the team also terminated the contracts of an estimated 10 members of their scouting department back in May. https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/gunnersaurus-arsenals-longtime-mascot-is-sacked-as-part-of-cost-cutting-measures-per-report/ You gotta love modern football, he was probably one of their longest serving staff having been their mascot for 27 years.

villa4europe Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sevilles official twitter account was great last night In fairness to arsenal they don't exactly need a mascot right now... But at the same time their owner recently opened a $5bn stadium and they're filthy rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Partey is going to get 250k a week and for me might struggle in England. Suppose sacking Gunnersaurus for him will be worth it. They also gave no professional courtesy to Atletico especially since it was deadline day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Good lad. The money is nothing to Özil (or Arsenal) but the job and the mascot means the world to this guy and a lot of kids I imagine. Not sure how long he will remain an Arsenal player thou... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also puts Arsenal in a difficult predicament, are they really going deduct a few hundred quid a month from one of their players to cover the cost of the mascot who is probably paid minimum wage about 20 hours a month?

Zatman Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I think it all showcases the mess at Arsenal. Overpaying a mascot I think Ozil is doing it to show up the club as he has been sent to the bombsquad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
