Oh well, good luck to the boy

Upper table sounds so derogatory. Are you sassing us, boy?

But no, not really.

Money money money

It's Southampton, not exactly Manchester City and Chelsea riches

Liverpool's interest ended with Comolli and Dalglish's sackings. He said no to Spurs cos they weren't offering enough monies.

Still though, recently promoted team in a league which has a tendency to send the recently promoted teams straight back down within a few years, barring a financial collapse by another "established" team. A tad surprising.

"Hardly Man City and Chelsea riches"

Not far off.. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11979/7225228/Rich-list

Made us a laughingstock. I'm not so mad at him now though, the memory is fading.

I dislike Dalglish but just to make it clear I was posting that fact to highlight the difference in football finances now, not how bad Dalglish was.

Like 'Since 1990, 66% of LFC's available transfer funds have been spent by Dalglish and Benitez.' Using Liverpool things here because it's from this http://www.liverpool-kop.com/2012/08/lfc-vs-arsenal-21-year-grossnet.html

Seeing Arsenal's owner 2nd makes me feel sick. The man's not even allowed to invest money.

Someone needs to assassinate your board.

Isn't he trying to buy as many shares as possible to be able to take control?

I'm waiting for the inevitable shootout when we try to storm the Ecuadorian Embassy

If your net transfer spend is your only real pride and joy, go for it.

Yeah, but the Premier League are bringing in new rules. Soon his shares will be worth fuck all until Kroenke decides to sell them to him. Fuck them all tbh.

Just gotta hope our fan share system builds more momentum and eventually we can take over that piece of shit.

I read somewhere that he basically had no interest what so ever in making money on Arsenal, he just wanted to invest in the team as a hobby and watch "his" club win trophies. He's a keen fan of football and Arsenal, and has money coming out of his ears, as do all the Gazprom executives. Which is a completely different mindset than the "don't overspend, run the club within its means" policy Arsenal, and Arsene Wenger, seems to have.

Arsenal would easily be on terms with City in spending terms with Mr. Gazprom allowed to invest. However, that would require the club to change their philosophy and business practices.

If they can just get rid of Kroenke, then that should be fine.

One thing's for sure is that Kroenke will sell soon. He bought shares at £11,000 each for the sole reason of making a profit. Usmanov is already offering £16,000 a share. Kroenke owns around 39,500 shares, so that's already a profit of £197,500,000.


By them caluclations, Kroenke bought his shares for £434m. Sheeeit.

Topman are fucking useless, they've lost my order

Where's Darren Dein nowadays?

He'll probably try to push Usmanov further on the price. He can afford it after all.

33 years, 4 months and 5 days since Blackburn last lost to Burnley in the League

Call this number

0131 447 4771


It's for the Dominion Cinema in Edinburgh.

Select option 2.

Listen to the sound of someone who hasn't got a clue what he's doing and is going to be sacked very shortly.

It was engaged about 10 times before I got through but it's worth it

Just heard Song could be heading to Barca.

lol Steve Kean

I hope Song doesnt go, I just put him in my fantasy league

A bit late. If we get any where near £20m for him, I am going to laugh my head off. Good player but not that good.

Arsenal going to replace him mate? M'Vila scenario has gone stale it seems.

Wenger said a big name could come in, but that doesn't say much. Sahin is waiting to join too.

Maybe Song wouldnt be as effective without RVP as well.

Dominic Campbell said he was basically off to Liverpool almost certainly.

We're doomed

Anybody called that number yet? Will probably be wondering why there are so many calling and get taken down soon

He's not. He's stalled it to wait for us.

Well them lofted balls will be less effective.

I don't see why Barca need him though but I can't complain if that £20m is reinvested. Bringing in Sahin on loan will be great, I just hope we buy him at the end of it, if he does well.

Keeps being engaged atm.

crump wrote:Keeps being engaged atm.

I kept ringing and ringing, honestly it's worth it, just keep calling back

Then when he gives you the options press 2

It's so irritating that you guys are going to hijack it..
