Announcement that his LA Rams stadium is costing more than $5 Billion. And apparently 1.6 billion of his own money. Bye, bye transfers for Arsenal.

1.6billion of his own money and 3.4 billion taken from tax payers whether they want to or not. Because you know...He just can't afford to build a stadium without the help of the people. Even though his payment alone would have built the second most expensive stadium in the world.

Other fun facts. In 10 years 90% of all sports teams in America built new stadiums. By comparison in the last 10 years of the EPL two teams have built new stadiums....if you count Tottenham for next year.

Get this c*** out of our great club. Can't wait for the empty seats to continue hard into the new season.

Something stinks about that whole thing

How the hell do you spend $5B on a stadium?

Considering the cost of Land in London, which is extremely high, compare that with his much stadia like Wembley cost and it doesn't make any sense.

It's not just a stadium. The stadium itself is around $2bn.

It's also for an entertainment district, a new NFL Network headquarters, and access roads and utilities at the site. And, making sure everything is earthquake-proof has caused the costs to skyrocket.

Still ridiculous, but helps explain the exorbitant cost.

For comparison, if the new Wembley was built today, it would cost around $1.5bn—probably closer to $1.8bn after all costs are taken into account.

Almost as if they've never heard of banks, loans and bonds in America. They have either use their own money or steal the taxpayer's to fund these big stadiums. Someone should send our board over there to teach the yanks how to negotiate to get money from financial institutions instead of blackmailing the local people to take their team away unless the local council votes to pay for it all.

It's not like we didn't know who he was either, all his sporting franchises are mediocre. And to think our sanctimonious self righteous idiot of a board sold out to him over Usmanov because they said he would uphold 'Arsenal values'.
Wenger partly to blame as his constant whining about 'finanacial doping' brainwashed fans & the club into not wanting owners to actually invest. If we sold out to Usmanov we'd probably have actually made the jump to being a European super club.

You have to wonder if he even knows there was a game today.

Or even if the season has started

Or most importantly that there is a club in north London called Arsenal that he owns.

Why do we supposedly have no money?

How come west ham could spend 36m on Anderson but we couldn't?

No money but we spend 350k on ozil, where is this coming from that we are broke as a joke?
