Arsenals økonomi og lån

[invalid_user]

Jeg synes dette emnet fortjener en tråd her på forumet. Personlig har jeg langt i fra nok kunnskap om Arsenals økonomi til å bidra særlig mye med egne meninger, men jeg håper at noen her inne har mer greie på dette enn meg og kan opplyse oss litt mer om hvordan vi ligger an. Av det jeg har fått med meg har vi en del lån, men at vi ligger meget godt an med tanke på nedbetaling og at vi per dags dato driver klubben på en veldig sunn og ansvarlig måte.

 

Arsenal set to announce record profits after Highbury Square boosts club's coffers

Arsenal are on Friday expected to announce annual figures that will leave many rival Premier League clubs green with envy

 

Arsenal are due to announce new record profits - and that they have paid off all the debts on their Highbury Square development six months early.

 

That means the club can expect a £30 million windfall from selling off around 90 apartments, while the cost of paying off the Emirates Stadium development is comfortably covered by income.

 

The rosy financial picture for the year up to June 2010 will please some fans but may leave others asking why manager Arsene Wenger has been reluctant to strengthen his team with more established stars, particularly among his goalkeepers.

 

A year ago, Arsenal announced pre-tax profits had risen 24 per cent to £45.5 million. Another increase for the year ending June 2010 is expected courtesy of property sales and around a £4 million rise in Premier League income to £51.7 million and a similar increase in Champions League income to £27.3 million.

 

It is the paying off of the Highbury Square loans that will have delighted the Arsenal hierarchy most however. They were initially forced to extend the bank repayment deadline of April this year to December after the property slump first hit.

 

Since then the development has prospered and the debt - which once totalled £133 million - has now been repaid in full.

 

That means Arsenal's only debt outstanding is for the Emirates Stadium, which is around the £220-£230 million mark costing around £16 million a year in interest and to be paid off by 2031.

Flott å bli kvitt Highbury Square-lånet. Nå gjenstår bare lånet for Ashburton Grove, noe vi forventes å avbetale i 2031. Ikke verst. Spørsmålet er om dagens styre kommer til å bestå frem til da. Det er ingen tvil om at de er i harmoni med Wenger om hvordan klubben vil drives på. Frykten min er dersom Arsenal blir kjøpt opp og hele styret blir splittet. Det kommer selvsagt også an på hvem som eventuelt erstatter dem og hva slags styremåte de har.

The completion of sale of 362 (2009 - 208) private apartments at Highbury Square and the social housing site at Queensland Road generated £156.9 million of revenue from property (2009 - £88.3 million) and allowed the Group to repay £129.6 million of bank loans.

 

The Group's property business is now debt free and generating surplus cash for the Group. The overall level of Group net debt had been reduced to £135.6 million (2009 - £297.7 million) at the balance sheet date.

 

Group turnover increased to £379.9 million (2009 - £313.3 million) boosted by the income generated from property sales.

 

Operating profit (before depreciation and player trading) in the football business was £56.8 million (2009 - £62.7 million) after increased wage costs.

 

Operating profit in the property business was £15.2 million (2009 - £7.8 million) reflecting the sales activity at Highbury Square.

 

Profit from player trading of £13.6 million (2009 - £2.9 million).

 

Group profit before tax was £56.0 million (2009 - £45.5 million) and profit after tax was £61.0 million (2009 - £35.2 million).

 

Rett og slett svært imponerande resultat. Forstår eg det riktig om eg les at vi kun har £135.6 mill i lån igjen? I så fall... woho!

Rett og slett uhyre imponerende.
