Our previous major shareholder invested precisely £0 into the club coffers, we operated on a shoestring and worries about complying with FFP were a pipe dream.

Fast forward to now, and we’ve got an owner who’s already put £350m on the balance sheet, wiped out our debt and has pushed forward with a waterside stadium plan that seemed impossible only a few short years ago.

Yet we’ve still got fans who are crying about our supposed current malaise.

Everton that.


We've gone from "80p of every £1 goes into players"

To

"every 350 million of every 1bn I earn goes into players"

Moshiri has made many MANY mistakes but compared to Kenwright.... The only thing he nailed was appointing Moyes.

Without Moyes, Kenwright would have sunk us into the abyss without a shadow of a doubt.

Moshiri needs to nail this stadium, keep Ancelotti happy and the rest will take care of itself 100%
 
Please explain why you think the club will be worth so much more after the move? I cant see it myself. It's an ego trip (albeit good for us as fans if done right).

Obviously the new ground which will be one of the very best in the premiership, in a prime location, add all the media money and the better sponsorships that we will get, the increased crowds. The question is mate, how do you think it won't ?
 
He defo needs help build new stadium and keep new players coming in look at arsenal just plodded on usmanov has to be involved to progress on both plans

The clubs value will increase due to a number of factors.

Firstly, the ageing old Lady was an issue that needed resolving, as it doesn’t meet the requirements of a top tier stadium in the current era. As a result, it’s replacement was as much about necessity as it was about increasing matchday revenue. Therefore the value of the business reflected the requirement to solve the conundrum, ergo once it’s solved that inhibitor disappears.

Secondly the new facility will increase not only match day and corporate revenue but also provide an opportunity for incremental income e.g. concerts, boxing and use as a conference / meeting venue.

Lastly the intangible benefit of the club having a new iconic stadium that reflects its stature.
 

He gets a mention in the DM’s lead story of the day.


With obvious investment links to social media giants included in his vast portfolio of wealth, this guy is seriously minted.

Let’s hope his Premiership Inquisitors adopt the same feeble approach to his ‘dealings’ as they appear to have done with City and Liverpool.
 
What's Arsenal got to do with this?
Nothing just a example someone mentioned paying for stadium and keeping manager happy just remember arsenal struggling to spend when they built theirs just imo think without usmanov it would be a hard task financially
 

It's just there so that a man city or a Chelsea can never happen again. In other words to keep the status quo, you can only invest or be sponsored to a percentage of the total worth, size and overall earnings of your club.
There’s an element of that, but it’s also a protection against clubs and fans desires to become the next Chelsea or city leading to them accepting ownership and responsible spending from charlatans that don’t have those means.

Without ffp there were more villa’s, pompey’s, Leeds’s, RS’s first americans, and even city’s first dodgy rich guy than there were abramoviches and sheik mansours.

Since football revenue exploded there’s no way to put the genie back in the bottle and for the wider good of the game it’s better to limit the chance of rogue spending above your means at the cost of stifling competition at the top.

It’s possible to compete from where we are. It just won’t happen the same way it has at Chelsea and city, where spending good money after bad and blowing teams out of the water for players can happen entirely.

We’ve got sufficient wealth that we can now attract a higher calibre of player than we could, through wages that would make them sign for us when they might not have otherwise.

What we need to do is be successful with our player scouting to mean those signings are more likely to be successful, because we can’t just flush them and try again if they’re not, due to ffp.

We need to be more like Leicester (with greater pull) than city or Chelsea.

Once we get the players, we can compete for top 4, once we are in the top four, revenues rise. Once revenues rise we can utilise our wealth more.

It’s going to take a bit of time and a lot of good decisions, but ffp doesn’t stop it from being possible.

Where we need to make sure we are the best is in player identification and commercial strategy.

If we get the signing wrong, ffp will make us pay for it.

If we get them right, but can’t cash in with increased revenues, we’ll fade away.

Also encourage top players to sign for us.
