Typical.
They’re the luckiest gang of nobheads in the sport.
Any other club and I think they’d go bust, even Yanited.
Chelsea though. THE luckiest club to ever exist, fully expect Ratcliffe to buy them and spend £300m in his first window. Probably get permission to expand SB and get a new £200m shirt sponsor.
The scummiest of scummy clubs.
New owner is going to spend £200m+. They really do boil my piss.
When you deep it it’s absolutely disgusting. 50M Sterling, 65M Raphinha, looking at De Ligt who’ll be 50+M and this is all while sending their 100M striker on loan.
How it’s allowed is beyond me. Such a shady club.
Shows you karma isn’t real and good things happen to bad people.Any other club and I think they’d go bust, even Yanited.

I also think Arsenal haven’t really done enough to compete, it’s like we accept being mugs. At least Liverpool use to get big money for their signings and actually try to compete at the top now, they’re no richer than we are really not like Chelsea and City getting pumped with owner money.I’ve come to accept our position in football now. Just like how even though the likes of Everton and Villa can spend hundreds of millions, they’ll never ever be a top six side - we can do everything we want and we’ll never ever be a PL winning club again.
There are tiers in football and we have 4 sides above us in that pyramid. We’ll always be a 5th-8th placed team with the odd CL place thrown in there.
20 years of oil money has placed Chelsea in a higher bracket, they’ll always be better than us.
KSE first bought shares in 2007, they only started investing in 2018 when they had full ownership. That 11 year battle between Usmanov and KSE has ruined us.I also think Arsenal haven’t really done enough to compete, it’s like we accept being mugs.

Gazidis and Arsène were too comfortable being a second rate team, honestly losing to Bayern 5-0 multiple you’d think they’d change something.
Not like’s it’s been any better since 2018 if anything it’s been worse.KSE first bought shares in 2007, they only started investing in 2018 when they had full ownership. That 11 year battle between Usmanov and KSE has ruined us.
Oh I know, I just think that decade of standing still has absolutely ruined us beyond repair. Chelsea have a monster mentality that 20 years of domination gets you, we have a defeatist mentality, outside the FA Cup we’ve been happy losers.Not like’s it’s been any better since 2018 if anything it’s been worse.
At Arsenal we just don’t have the standards of a title winning team. Top 4 is our goal and anything above that is extra, Giroud said himself at Chelsea they get rid of you if you’re not playing well but at Arsenal you get 1000 chances. That’s what sets us back.
Look at how Chelsea dealt with Lampard vs how we dealt with Arteta or even Liverpool with Rodgers. We’re here making 101 excuses for Arteta and treating 5th like progress. That’s why we’ll never be an elite team it’s not in our intentions.

I don’t think it was just that decade though, if anything it’s been since we decided to build the Emirates in 1999. It’s why Vieira was asking to leave every season he saw the writing on the wall, once we got rid of the Invincibles it was over for us.Oh I know, I just think that decade of standing still has absolutely ruined us beyond repair.

True. Look at Liverpool fans hounding out H&G when they tried to asset strip them. Arsenal fans don’t have the hunger for it, deep down most are happy to support a fashionable London club.Blame thee fans. In life, ppl generally get what they demand, not what they deserve. As long as fans are happy with mediocrity served to them by the Kroenkes, exemplified by the manager and club runners, all we can hope for is to be mediocre.
