    Arsenal came so close to winning the Premier League in 2022/23. They came so close thanks to some big money transfers. They have followed that up by spending big again heading into the 2023/24 season. They have Champions League money to look forward to, and a bigger share of TV revenue.
    But can they justify their spending?
    Phil Buckingham explains. Marco Bevilacqua illustrates.

      One of the key things has been, as was mentioned here, they have kept their payroll way lower (over 100 million below chelsea, Utd, & City) than the other richest clubs in the prem. Another bonus to their shift in 2020 to buying players mostly 23 amd under.

      Honestly, that is quite an easy question to answer. They are in the EPL, which means they instantly have 100 mil to spend each year. And now they finished 2nd which means they get a load of money from participating in the Champions League as well. That together with the fact that Arsenal are one of the 6 biggest clubs in England means they don't have a lot of issues spending that kind of money right now.

    Arsenal have done a great job over the past couple of years but the next few will be vital. They are now mixing with the top teams again and are starting to pay top wages to many of their players. They still have some expensive contracts to renew over the next few years to avoid losing players like Odegaard. Good to have Arseanl back at the top table though especially with the brand of football they are playing.

    Forgot to mention Arsenal have signed a £12 Million pound deal with Amazon for the "All or Nothing" documentary which was due for payment in May 2023 and a new commercial deal with "Prime" energy drink which is valued at £15 Million to the club over the course of the next 3 years. They're financially stable so it makes sense for them to be able to pull of huge transfer fees which in essence are actually paid in installments and not in 1 go. Also Vinai and Josh recently explained in a video that their interests payments on outstanding loans has been at the lowest levels since 2001 that adds another factor.

    The abuse from fans is unnecessary. They do not know better than the people who run the club. Arsenal is now a well-run club, thanks to the restructuring that took place after Kroenke acquired 100% ownership. It was clear that Arsenal was determined to return to elite level when they appointed Arteta as manager. Just because it didn't happen overnight (as many fans were losing their patience) doesn't mean there was no plan. We are in good hands.

    Say what you want about Stan Kroenke he knows how to handle massive sums of money. Also, his wife is a Walton (family who owns Wal-Mart) so he doesn't have to worry. Also, we have to thank Wenger for his financial genius. Arsenal did struggle for a while but they bought the Emirates Stadium outright and own no debt on it. Their Stadium is pure profit and with the run last season, fans will sell out every match this season from the FA Cup to the CL so Arsenal will be fine. I can't wait for this season and see how they do.

      The key thing that can't be ignored about Chelsea is that although their purchases have been disorganized, similar to the way Arsenal have rebuilt the last three years Chelsea have bought talented and extremely young players. For all Boehly's negatives I bet he has been a key part of investing in youth. It's similar to how the LA Dodgers, the baseball team Boehly was involved with, are run.

      I have always been envious of Chelsea during the Abramovich era. They were a very successful team, but they could have been even more successful if they had been able to stick to a manager for a long period of time. Unlike Klopp at Liverpool or Pep at City, who have both overseen long term projects at their clubs. If Chelsea had been able to do this with a top manager during Abramovich era, they could have dominated European football for a sustained period of time.

    I stuck by Wenger all those years even when our fans ungratefully shooed the man out of the club like a dirty stray cat. It was disgusting behaviour, something I'll never be proud of witnessing as a gooner. The man dedicated and devoted his life and even sacrificed his marriage for the club. People still don't understand the significance of finishing 4th each season for our club in a period where we were financially crippled by the stadium debt. Just making it to CL each season, was a fine feat, in which Wenger achieved 18yrs straight (only 2nd to Real Madrid at the time), on a shoe-string budget, against oil lottery teams in Chelsea and Man City. Even then Utd were still spending big and so were Liverpool. Fans screamed "4th isn't a trophy" without giving Wenger any credit for his vast achievements to be there every season. He did it against all odds, even after selling our best players to City and Utd. It is this consistency that saw us through tough times and all those 4th place finishes set the foundation we stand tall on today. Wenger will always be a special manager in our club history and imo is still one of the best managers to ever grace the game. I always imagine what Wenger could have done with the money we have today. I see the same thing in Arteta. Wenger always said Arteta would make a great coach one day. He was definitely right. Arteta is on the verge of winning major trophies. I'm confident we'll be dominating the EPL in the next few years and continue competing with Europe's top teams. I will celebrate our future trophies with Arteta and the team, but I will never forget and will always celebrate Arsene Wenger!

      United's losses over the last 3 years stands at ~ £200m, their ffp situation depends on what they can deduct due to pandemic/community development/infrastructure/women's football. The big problem with them is that the Glazers do not do many community projects, do not invest in the stadium, and do not re-invest in the club by buying shares, which other PL owners do (all those things would be deductible from ffp losses).
