I keep hearing that "we have no money" but we have been consistantly in the top 2 since 1997, played in the Champions League each season, had a full house for every home game for the last 8 years and spent very little on players in comparison to other top clubs.
We have also sold Anelka, Petit and Overmars for £50m
In addition to this, our new stadium is being financed by third parties and we have secured a huge £100m (1/4 of the stadium costs) in a deal with Emirates. Not forgetting a hugely improved deal by Nike, seen our merchandising income rise and seen ourselves rise to the top tier clubs being marketed by Nike across the globe, alongside United and Barca.
We have also operated a wage cap, stopping our players earning silly money basic salaries, unlike say Chelski, who re-abramobitch had players like Boegard (sp?) on £50K+ per week to play in the reserves.
So tell me, how do we not have any money for players?
