Emirates Stadium is a money maker and they charge among the highest ticket prices in the Premier League.  The problem is that they buy so poorly and then ruin the resale value of a lot of players.

Chelsea just plunked down 220M this summer to buy six guys, but sold enough quality players that they had a net spend of only about 25-30M.

Arsenal let Wenger have too much power for too long, and then they replaced him with all these different scouts, levels of management, specialists - and then just went and fired them all.  SMH

I don't think their problems really are finances; it's poor management.  Plenty of Premier League teams have smaller stadiums, get less in TV revenues, and still put a better team out there on the pitch.

I love what Wolves have done with Nuno.  I love Everton with Carlo Ancelotti, who is a great coach.  Everton invested wisely.  Wolves always invest wisely.  Leicester is another team that has gathered up a bunch of young talent, but have a talisman like Jamie Vardy, and a fine coach in Brendan Rogers.

All of them have less financial resources than Arsenal.  So, "Don't cry for me, Argentina."
