Registered 10 years agoWinning is not everything to Arsenal, claims commercial chief:Everything was going our way, it was Manchester United and Arsenal.
"1-0 to the commercial brand..." \o/
But we made a very bold decision and we built that stadium on time and on budget — that makes our fans very proud.
When they see that we can attract — even though we haven’t won a trophy in seven years — one of the top global brands in the world for the type of money and financial commitment they’re making, that makes our fans feel proud.
So our brand is defined by more than winning.

That probably makes it something else. Cheese. Or clotted cream.
Either way, that could explain the sick feeling. -

Registered 6 years agoHeh. Tom Fox was speaking in a commercial sense, saying we still have a very big global fanbase and winning isn't everything in terms of getting big commercial deals like the Emirates one. Gazidis in a recent FourFourTwo piece said we are definitely not settling for top four finishes in the coming seasons what with our spending power increasing.. But you won't read much about those quotes being reported elsewhere, I'd wager. -

Registered 10 years agoThat Gazidis comment was in the current FourFourTwo which has a front page article entitled "Arsenal's Master Plan". Features interviews with the aforementioned, plus Wenger, Cazorla, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Friar and Brady.
Might be worth a read for you Arsenal fans, didn't hold my interest though really. Nothing surprising.
Was wondering when they'd do another Arsenal article actually. They have to have Messi/Man Utd/Messi/Chelsea/Arsenal/Barca/Messi/Real Madrid/Liverpool/Messi on the front cover in every issue. I can understand why but it's a little annoying - do some articles on other Prem clubs (like the rise of Swansea for instance) for once.

Registered 9 years agoEarly morning discussion.Arsenal see Sagna as no real loss. Belief in Carl Jenkinson, and Mapou Yagna-Mbwia seen as versatile (and cheap) option.
Now this isn't confirmed for certain, but it's widely reported to be the case. Plus believing in the potential of a youngster to superceed an established pro is an arsenal pattern.
But it asks the question....why exactly should players be loyal?
I'm only using Sagna because he's a great example/ Usually, arsenal fans especially tend to jusify moving a players because they are "c*nts" and greaddy bastards and etc.
Sagna is perfect because no one can accuse him of that. For some 4-5 years he's been arguably our most consistent player (consisten in bad crosses too) and has always given it his all. Quietly goes around his business too.
I can see why arsenal would want to do it (1 broken legs in a year, nearing 29) and I can see from his point of view (last WC player, possibly his last and final ever playing contract).
What I do find odd is that so many arsenal fans are willing to move him on because we have Jenkinson now (once again, overlooking the fact that replacing established players with young potential based on a few months of good work is part of the reason we're in what we're in), as we have a suitable replacement so it doesn't matter.
If you ask a fan why a players should stay, one of those reasons is loyalty ("we gave him his chance", "supported him" etc) yet it seems when it comes to offering players a contract, loyalty is never a factor (he's been loyal to us, gave 100% all the time, given up other opportunities). So loyalty is only a 1-way thing? To suit us but never reciprocated?
All seems rather hypocritical. -

It just seems us as fans demand loyalty from players, yet never seem to reciprocate.
I mean, I agree with TH14. But it's just when a player does leave for better, we're quick to call them disloyal bastards.
Basically, footballers aren't the only ones that are disloyal. We are too. -

Registered 10 years agoThat's the way it's always been. Just that these days the players hold all the cards. In days gone by, it was the clubs. With Bosman and Webber, it's the players. Really wouldn't surprise me if yearly contracts became the norm soon. -

Registered 9 years agoI wouldn't even mind yearly contracts so long as the ridiculous prices for players lowers significantly along with wages. But yearly contracts will only increase wages.
Basically, annual contracts will only be to the advantage to the rich. But then, what isn't? Not even sure how that would work with academy players. Annual contracts could kill off academies too.
Yeah that's how it used to be. One could argue however that that also wasn't good/fair. It was just the opposite end of the spectrum we find ourselves in.
Meh, not my concern. Just give me a player that I can mercilessly boo till my throat runs dry. -
