Pretty sure they will still go through to the next round. But thanks for the laugh!
Apparently their entire squad yesterday cost around £200k.lmao how embarassing (even if they do go through next week), heard BATE entire squad cost £10 million, thats 3 times less than Mustafi cost..
The only other English side to lose to Bate was Everton and Mustafi played for Everton on loan against them LOL
https://www.arsenal.com/news/financial-results-201718I do wonder what effect no cl would actually have on arse. If they fail again it will be 3? Seasons away i think. If we get cl again this season and again next season then we will overtake them financially with the new stadium next year (which will surely grow year in year once its up and running)
A few more years of this and they'll be deeply and truly fucked.Football revenue for the year was £388.2 million (2017 - £422.8 million), with the decrease being mainly attributable to the club’s participation in the Europa League, rather than the more lucrative Champions League. Operating profits were also impacted by continued investment in player wages, which meant that total staff costs, excluding exceptional costs, grew to £223.3 million (2017 - £199.4 million).
Commenting on the financial results, the club’s chairman, Sir Chips Keswick, said: “Player trading has meant that overall Arsenal has had another profitable year, but we are very aware of the financial pressure which Europa League football places on the club. A return to the Champions League is a clear priority which everyone at the club is committed to delivering.”

Yes the Adidas deal will offset most of the lost revenue. But that just means they'll stand still, without CL their situation won't improve enough compared to the rest of the top 6.Simon Jordan was on Talksport last night, they would have been so much worse if it wasn't for the transfer out profits. Went on to say the overpaid on player purchases and they pay too much in players wages.
.. But that incoming Adidas kit deal would probably bail them out.
(If I was on the Adidias board I would have a rethink on those sponsorship numbers LOL)
