Deloitte Arsenal – cause for concern but a way forward can be clear The Deloitte Money League, an annual report on global football clubs’ revenues, was released in January. It’s a mix of projections and actual accounts from clubs, and used to show how revenues impact on performance relative to others. As a […]
There has been a lot of fan angst, understandably, about Stan Kroenke’s ownership of Arsenal. Alisher Usmanov has said that he is willing to sell his stake, which Kroenke is very willing in terms to buy. Thus, he can now own the entirety of our club’s equity, and move it off the London Stock Exchange […]
I am writing this on the morning the awful devastating news broke that Stan Kroenke is going to buy Alisher Usmanov’s shares in Arsenal Football Club. I feel that this is the saddest and darkest day in the history of the club. I understand he is paying Usmanov £650m at £29,419.60p a share. Well below […]
WE WAIT The one thing you cannot accuse any Arsenal fan of is impatience. I told a friend that I am an Arsenal fan and the first thing she said was that “I guess you are used to heartbreaks then”. I think that is the narrative among non-Arsenal football fans. But the reality is that […]

Here for long haul? The narrative of late for our club, bar Wenger and the FA Cup final, has been the bid for the club by Usmanov. This was rejected by Stan Kroenke, who has since said the club is not for sale for any price. However, I am not a financial analyst nor an […]

Hello there dear readers of Gunners Town, quite a long break from me and I do apologise for that although this might be a bit of a rare blog anyway since the topic itself is so temporary. Arsene Wenger’s press conference this morning sparked a flurry of activity I have not seen before and with […]
LET’S CLUTCH AT STRAWS. There was a sense of despondency and largely a kind of mixed feelings after the 2007/2008 season. Not many people including pundits, media and opposition fans gave us any chance of competing. Even most Arsenal fans, myself included, thought we were not gonna mount any serious title bid. Our expectations were […]
