brilliant, young manager, attractive football, group of talented young players who will grow together and win trophies. A manager and owner who don't seem shy of spending money and are committed to winning.

There is an argument that perhaps they only have this season and next to win something big, and if they don't then it could get harder for them. The manager and best players will probably want to do the first season at the Naming Rights but unless Daniel knows where the bodies are buried, those players won't want to be slumming it on the mere 60-80k a week or whatever they get over there, when they could be cashing in elsewhere. Also, the club will have an £800m stadium to pay for.
If the win the league or CL this season or next though, we could be in big trouble.
I have been considering Chelsea, tbh. Their fans aren’t all that but I frequent Parsons Green more than many other areas of London (especially Islington).
Of course, when Kroenke goes and we get an owner that spends money on players I will bin them off.
Can't remember the last time that happened.
But he hasn't done anything wrong, Herbs. He is a businessman and so long as the stadium is full, the season ticket list long and Arsenal in the top six, he's happy.
Fans will have different definitions of success but they will typically involve the team's on-pitch exploits. This is not what an owner thinks as for them, it's a long term investment and there is no emotive connection to the football on the pitch.
I find myself in agreement with you Dick.Quote:

Actually hold on, the decision to renew AW's contract in the summer will have come from the very top so he has fúcked up. Hurrah.
I did find that interview with them quite amusing. They kept saying 'look at our record' as though that would reassure supporters. I havent done a great deal of research on this but as I understand it their record is of making long term investments in sports franchises and turning them into utterly mediocre performers on the pitch.
I am no fan of the Yankee but equally I am unsure what exactly he can be accused of having done wrong.
The manager has been backed financially over recent years, perhaps not as much as some may want but the money has been there. If you think Mustafi is **** or that Xhaka has been a let-down then you cannot blame SK on this. Summer 2017 and the whole Sanchez/Lemar debacle was like a football Carry On movie but then again not sure that is down to the Yankee.
