Club announces latest financial results
23 Sep 2013
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-arc...ancial-results

Arsenal Holdings plc has announced its financial results for the year ended May 31, 2013:

Group profit before tax was £6.7 million (2012 - £36.6 million)
Profit on sale of player registrations amounted to £47.0 million (2012 - £65.5 million)
One-off charges related to the impairment of certain player registrations and associated costs amounted to £10.0 million (2012 - £5.5 million)
£58.7 million of investment in new players and extended contracts pushed amortisation charges up to £41.3 million (2012 - £36.8 million)
Turnover from football increased to £242.8 million (2012 - £235.3 million) driven mainly by commercial activity including the Club’s extended partnership with Emirates
Taking account of increased costs, principally wage costs, operating profits (before depreciation and player trading) from football decreased to £25.2 million (2012 - £32.3 million)
Property revenue rose to £37.5 million (2012 - £7.7 million) inclusive of the sale of the market housing site at Queensland Road. However, the Queensland Road sale was essentially at break even in profit and loss terms. Overall operating profits from property increased to £4.4 million (2012 - £2.2 million)
The Group has no short-term debt and continues to have a robust financial platform from cash reserves, excluding the balances designated as debt service reserves, of £119.7 million (2012 - £120.1 million)

Commenting on the results for the year the Club’s chairman, Sir Chips Keswick, said: “It is my job to ensure we steer further along the course we have set. "We must continue to grow commercially to provide the Club with the best opportunity to achieve success and we must do this in a way which remains true to our values and which ensures and protects the long-term sustainability of the Club. We face a competitive landscape across the top of the Premier League and across Europe’s elite clubs which is tougher than ever. Despite fair play initiatives the financial competition for top players remains intense and transfer prices and player wages continue to move ever higher. It is therefore positive that the strong financial platform we have created in recent years allows us to continue to be competitive at the highest level.”

Flamini has been cautioned by the FA for threatening Marc Wilson after he tackled Jack Wilshere unfairly. Mathieu said 'do it again and I'll blind you'.

Brilliant! That's exactly what is needed. Too long people have felt free to go in hard free of consequence. Flamini needs to make t clear he'll give one back is what we needed.

If someone like Suarez, Barton or Keano had said this they'd all be serving 10 game bans and the media would run with it for half a year. I'd bet my savings he'd say it to neither of them either. Returning a tackle is one thing but saying you're going to blind someone is another.

Suarez gets thrown to the dogs for racially abusing a player but Flamini is praised for threatening to blind someone. Welcome to the Premier League eh.

A wee bit generalising there...not sure he is being praised. Except perhaps by a few Arsenal misguided fans.

No they wouldn't be banned. What makes you think Suarez and Barton are selected for special treatment. Suarez racially abused someone and bit someone, Barton kept punching people and Keane often attempted in intimidate his opponents as did Vieira.

I doubt Flamini actually said anything specific. Probably let the player know if he went on late and hard on Wilshere again then he would do the same back.

He's deciding on wether to take the job, apparently. Bad choice imo, that club has been a shambles from top to bottom for a while and it'll take some one with experience as a manager to put it right from top to bottom, not a head coach as the senior executives at the club have shown they aren't up to it, sure Poyet might do a good job but it'll just be papering over the cracks if they go down this route.
