    Just made 55 staff members redundant.

    Stan Kroenke is worth 8.3b.

    Makes you sick.

    Arsenal have announced that the club will be making 55 redundancies because of the financial impact of the global pandemic. Yet they'll probably announce the signing of Willian on a massive three-year contract in a few days and still pay Mesut Özil £350,000-a-week

    The 'Arse' is definitely going to fall out of this game..

    The player is now king. The conference player is now a Prince. "Arse" indeed.

    and about to sign Aubameyang on £250,000 a week if reports are to be believed.

    Along with signing Willian on £100,000 a week.

    So players on obscene wages won't stump up a couple of grand a week to help out?

    Not that it should be needed, it absolutely ridiculous.

    Kaveh Solhekol (who does my head in due to talking like a ventriloquist with his gritted teeth) on SSN just now offering excuses for Arsenal still buying players on obscene wages.

    Well I am shocked!

    55 staff at say, 30k each = £1.6m.

    Peanuts.

    Kroenke worth £8bn.

    Still if those 55 laid off staff worked harder they too could be that rich.

    lol

    I used to like Arsenal, but they are a basket case club. Bungers

    It’s got to be worth it though to make sure the players don’t suffer on their £300 grand a week contracts.

    I agree with stuff like this. Being left wing I think if the staff have no apparent skills and are just there to make up the numbers then they should be sacked. Simple. Footballers deserve lots of money because they can kick a ball really well.. Capitalism rules...

    I thought we furloughed a load of employees and some lost their jobs

    I reckon all football fans should boycott the first football fixtures of the season and if that is successful maybe one or two more afterwards.
