we are 20th...

[MonsXI]

Just looking at that list, is it me or is every team on it a regular in the Champions League apart from us?

So are we under performing on the pitch or are we over performing off it?

[London Villan]

When did the teams in that list last win a trophy? Would we be the team with the longest trophy-less run?

[darren woolley]

At least we are going in the right direction on and off the field well done Randy.

Exactly.  Isn't our position higher than last year?  We were below Newcastle and Everton then as I seem to recall.  We certainly didn't make the top 20.

[Chris Smith]

I guess the reason we've snuck in is the profit we made on player sales last year.

[luke95]

To be honest I'd prefer a trophy or two.

I would expect it to be Man City.

So would Man City I imagine.

Spurs will be above Liverpool this year, with CL money all the extra sponsors and no doubt the more money they have charged at the gates.

We need to some how get the crowds back at Villa before we can start progressing.

---------------------

They don't include transfer profits.

It is based on 3 measures;

TV payments, we're ahead of Spurs

Matchday income, we're ahead of Man City

Commercial revenue, we're nowhere.

[Phil from the upper holte]

How are Arsenal richer than Chelsea?

Watch the prices rise in the summer

Interesting, how do we get higher match day income than Man City on smaller crowds?

[Chris Smith]

How are Arsenal richer than Chelsea?

20,000 more seats.

Suppose but as chairmen go Chelsea are richer

They're not.

It is about income, not spending power.
