Hi Eds,

I know finances are a sensitive subject but perhaps you can attempt to provide some insight into my question.

Forgive the simplicity in some of the logic. But given the C.V. has hit all clubs hard with no fans in stadiums. How are Arsenal managing to fund £130m+ in transfers when they had a much higher match day income than Liverpool for example. I understand Liverpool are prioritising contract extensions and have had issues with squad space. However, given the recent success of both clubs the £100m extra in transfer spends just seems a little strange on a surface level.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal like all sides have to comply with FFP or take the consequences. They are trying hard to sell players, know they will need to do more by January and need to resolve the situation by June 30 next year.}

So you mean that if Arsenal don't manage to shift many of the crap players nobody wants by next summer they're screwed?

I honestly don't see how we're anyway near the ffp limit, we basically sidned 4 players in 2 years and sold nearly as much to cover it, 2 CL finals and a pl win and our 2 biggest signings were funded by the couthino sale. I'm not looking for 100m singing or anything like it but the fact we've let winjaldum walk away for free when we couldn't afford a replacement is embarrassing. I'm no way fsg out your worth more and earn more from being on top and staying on top. And before anyone starts they're billionaires who can afford to back klopp but choose not to.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think you have a scooby how FFP works port, its not just about transfers mate..

Judging by their performances this season so far they look pretty screwed anyway.

OK ed25 please enlighten me. Im no accountant but I do look at the published accounts every year and I'm not seeing why we're in such a state, granted the cv season hasn't been published yet, . City's revenues are similar to ours and they can't fill their stadium but they spend what they like. Even your own club Everton have spent vasts amounts over the last 4/ 5 years but there's no problems there. No European money, just owners who want to invest?

{Ed025's Note - its hard to explain port and im no expert, owners cannot just invest mate its against the rules, you can only spend what you earn and there are other factors like agents fees and wage bills to be considered as well as a plethora of other things...its very complicated mate..

These billionaire owners have had the greatest Stockmarket increase ever. Their wealth has increased exponentially. Money is cheap, interest rates are incredibly low. I think this is allowing some of the clubs to spend despite C.V.. Meanwhile, though highly commendable, FSG sustainability model, is holding back LFC. I think FSG have lost interest as winning the PL allows them to sit back and watch the asset value increase like their shares.

{Ed0666's Note - Regardless of how low I treat rates are you don’t borrow more than you can afford to pay back. Otherwise you end up like Leeds ala Peter Risdale

I don't understand how you can make a point that you tead the accounts every year but then day you can't figure out our situation. Are you meaning you don't understand what the books mean?
