Of course, in the last 48 hours the question ‘Where Has the Arteta Money Gone?' has been raised again. The first thing to repeat is the bank didn't force the sale. The £10m instantly became £9m when we paid sell-on fees to Real Sociedad. Sadly, and despite a lot of hard work, £9m could become £7.5m by the end of the year with gate revenues dropping below budget (made even sadder by rumours of the sabotage of ticket sales, programmes and other matchday income). And £7.5m may well become £5.5m as our live TV appearances drop below the budget we set based on previous seasons' appearances.
) which is driven by the recession, and reduction in TV revenue (so thanks Rupert
) but you could argue we haven't been worth watching this season.. if the players pull their fingers out we can solve both problems!
