Expenditures last four seasons (16/17-19/20, from transfermarkt):
Manchester City: €777.59M
Chelsea: €647.10M
Manchester United: €625.10M
Everton: €508.90M
Arsenal: €498.44M
Liverpool: €446.38M
Leicester City: €400.00M
Tottenham: €319.00M
Spent less then everton and Kroenke hires the people who scout the player
You conveniently ignored the fact that Liverpool and Spurs have spent less than us but have consistently finished above us in that time period!
But that fact kills your argument so I don't expect you to acknowledge it.

exactly my point be never spent the requisite money when needed like we have needed a world class cdm and cb for so long and he hasnt bought if he provides the funds and they are not spent well then fire the people who didnt spend well and didnt get enough from players. We were always one or two players short of winning imo pep is nothing special he never coached a bad team into a good one he always had world class players. Klopp made average players better and won something even wenger did in his early stage. Even Mourinho did this at inter and benifica. Arteta seems like that sort of manager but he still needs the funds to spend. Also I think we could easily win Europa we have gone far in that competition and have as good a chance as anyone ,all hope is not lostStLGooner wrote:There were times when Stan spent plenty of money, and then other times when we needed him to and he didn't open his wallet. And then there were times when we just bought shit players or paid to much for average ones. But overall it looks as if we spent a lot and in a sense we did, but we just didn't do it at the right times nor on the right players consistently enough.
I worry about what is next though and what kind of funds will be available. I fear his stadium in LA is going to keep us from spending what we need to. I think we banked on getting into the CL this season and since it appears that we aren't, then we could possibly be cashed strapped for the near future. Obviously I don't know as I don't run the finances, but those are the signs I'm seeing.

Huh????? Going back to Ozil when we apparently were able to start spending big on players:
2019/20 - £141m spent
2018/19 - £72m spent
2017/18 - £137m spent
2016/17 - £101m spent
2015/16 - £24m spent
2014/15 - £107m spent
2013/14 - £44m spent
£626m spent over 7 seasons, Average of £90m per season.
Liverpool
£9m, £164m, £156m, £72m, £113m, £136m, £52m
£702m spent over 7 seasons, an Average of £100m per season.
Spurs
£161m, £0m, £109m, £75m, £64m, £43m, £110m.
£562m spent over 7 seasons, an Average of £80m per season.
Chelsea
£40m, £188m, £234m, £119m, £81m, £124m, £117m
£822m spent over 7 seasons, an Average of £117m per season
Man U
£192m, £74m, £178m, £166m, £140m, £175m, £69m
£994m spent over 7 seasons, an Average of £142m per season
Man City
£151m, £70m, £285m, £192m, £187m, £92m, £104m
£1081m spent over 7 seasons, an Average of £154m per season
Leicester City
£95m, £103m, £79m, £82m, £45m, £20m, £0.5m
£424.5m spent over 7 seasons, an Average of £60m per season
What does all of the above tell us? That Man City and Man U are spending silly money, that Chelsea are spending between the top spenders and the tier below, that Liverpool spent £10m per season more than us and we in turn spent £10m per season more than Spurs and the 3 of us are the tier below the top tier. Finally is tells us that despite spending the least, Leicester have won a league title and are up there with Man City this season performance-wise.
So can we put an end to the absolute bollox that Kroenke hasn't allowed the club to spent money. £10m per season less than Liverpool have spent tells you that money is NOT the problem.

The problem is that the Kroenke's allowed the Wenger / Gazidis axis to take our club down a dead-end on both transfer and wages strategy, to pretty much destroy our backroom and academy by micromanagement, and to create a squad of pretty boys with the backbone of a jellyfish. Since then the failing to make appointments of a high enough calibre - who the feck is Vinai Venkatesham some cheap in-house copy boy who's been over promoted? and then thinking Emery, Ljunberg, Arteta would compete with Pep, Klopp, Mourinho? ... that's division two standard.
The lack of action against Wenger and Gazidis, the terrible senior staff appointments, yup that's on the Kronkes ... but no question we've had the money we've just watched it all get pissed away.
This summer we will see four players out of contract (admittedly two are on loan to us) and another five all enter their final year ... the shitshow ain't over yet I'm afraid. You can't fix a decade of miss-management in two years, it took Liverpool almost thirty ... let's pray we do better than them

I agree with you but I think kroenke hasnt shown he cares simply spending the same as other top 6 isnt enough like rn we need a 200m investment maybe more hes q billionaire pull it out and get to work man city style that's what we need . I hope mbs doesnt by Newcastle and pays kroenke to gtfo and then we can be a big club again

Mate yours is a "pie in the sky" request - to just pull out £200m of his own money and spend it on players. The only people that would do that are people that do not know the value of money - like oil sheikhs. Roman Abramovich used to do that, but even he doesn't do it these days. Kroenke isn't a billionaire because he is financially stupid ! Your request does not fall into the "realistic" category.

HH its realistic for a fan to spend that
There is the problem the billionaire we picked is not a fan,his motive for buying Arsenal was to extend his sport portfolio and make money, and god knows it somehow may fall into some kind of tax dodge through creative accounting?
We should have got usmanov with his dirty money but some fans and board didn't like the idea, but hey there probably isn't a billionaire out there that has not got dirty money coming in somehow.
Best investment Arsenal could make is cleaning out the coaching staff, all we have done is appoint a head coach (who identity looks much like AW so far) and change the deck chairs of the other coaching staff, we have produced nothing for years from the youth team, and before peeps start shooting that comment down, yes we have a few players with potential ! When did the club ever grow that potential last. There is the problem as you say throwing money at it helps and should plug the gaps or bring in the necessary world class acts to build around, but the clubs training program is a joke the club needs a clean out everyone is far too comfortable just bringing in a wage with no accountability or targets much like ozil has been accused
