Have Your Say The Arsenal Way. 🎗

@cristo_radio Have you considered cancelling your Netflix subscription?

This is just the most gross, horrific, anti aspiration envy tax of the worst kind. It would also destroy the property market. Based on average council tax payments over half of London homeowners would be worse off. Nearly 20% of homeowners across the UK would be worse off 675000 homes would see their tax double to *at least* £5000 a year. It penalises those in the South- not only have they already had to pay more for their home they’ll have paid Stamp Duty too. So it’s a higher tax and a repeat tax. It would be @andyburnham ‘s poll tax moment. It’s actually more unfair than the poll tax.

@cristo_radio @RedSinceCantona So you don't think people not on the housing ladder have aspirations? You talk about envy but it seems that it is you that is envious of people at the bottom of the ladder getting extra help to climb that ladder.

@RedSinceCantona What those people with aspiration, those who don’t want economic policy based on envy, those who don’t want the property market to crash, and those who have the slightest bit of economic literacy? Those kinds of people? 😀

@HowdonC @TomCantonMedia These fans of smaller clubs really do hate being fans of smaller clubs don't they 😂 Complaining about not being able to spend as much as the bigger clubs but never complaining about other even smaller clubs not being able to spend as much as them.

@TomCantonMedia It’s no point having this discussion with you as you aren’t able to understand the issue

It’s easy for me to say, because I’m not a Villa or Newcastle fan, but I really don’t see why rules shouldn’t be put in place to stop uber rich owners coming in and spending whatever they want at any club like it’s a video game. Why shouldn’t it be related the revenues?

@HowdonC @TomCantonMedia You're right. It's outrageous that gateshead united can't match newcastle's transfer budget. If it was allowed to match it they would be able to compete with newcastle for players & a share of tyneside fans.

@TomCantonMedia Because it prevents others form competing it’s not an open market like all other businesses it’s stacked in favour of the big rich clubs forever maintaining their dominance of the market which is unfair

@ToonToon1985 @StevenBatePhoto @TomCantonMedia You don't think newcastle & villa can outspend Middlesbrough & Birmingham City?

@HArsenalway @StevenBatePhoto @TomCantonMedia When has it ever worked in ours or villas favour since PSR was introduced!?

@StevenBatePhoto @TomCantonMedia @ToonToon1985 It grows gradually the same way newcastle became bigger than its north east neighbours. What it can't do is grow itself artificially & unfortunately for newcastle fans it can't move to a more fashionable part of the country that would allow them to attract & retain better players

@HArsenalway @TomCantonMedia @ToonToon1985 So how does a mid sized club grow and become a big club without upfront investment?

@SRDNUFC @TomCantonMedia @KevHughesie So you want brighton, brentford, Bournemouth to be able to spend the samw as newcastle despite being smaller clubs. Maybe gateshead united would like to spend as much as newcastle so they could grow & compete against their neighbours.

@TomCantonMedia @KevHughesie Because they built their revenues and commerical base at a time where there were no restrictions. Success requires expenditure, which requires revenue and back again in a loop. Nobody wants unlimited spending, but a more even playing field.

@KevHughesie @TomCantonMedia Have villa not had decades of being able to operate without those rules and restrictions in place now?

@TomCantonMedia Because they’re the richest and wealthiest clubs, who had decades of being able to operate without those rules and restrictions in place now. So they have a tremendous head start that other clubs wanting to emulate them need to match. Which they can’t.

@steve_lowthian @TomCantonMedia Do you complain when Brighton, Brentford & Bournemouth can't spend as much as your club based on revenue?

@TomCantonMedia It’s not what exists it’s linked to revenue so some clubs can spend a lot more so it’s not competitive and can’t change for years- if there was a cap of say £200 m on transfers per year then all clubs could spend the same if they wanted and it would Make league more competitive

@steve_lowthian @TomCantonMedia And the best players would still sign for the bigger clubs. Newcastle have a natural advantage over every north east club because it is the largest city & being a one club city it gives them a decent fan base but they're never going to be the size of the largest clubs.

@dfnewland09 @LFC_Ranks @TomCantonMedia And the same thing applies to your club. Leicester winning the premier league was a fairytale exactly because small-mid sized clubs can't win the big trophies. That's what the europa league, conference league & league cup are for.

@LFC_Ranks @TomCantonMedia But Bournemouth will never complete for prem titles or champions League place regularly because they constantly get there best player bought from them and have to reinvest year after year,

@dfnewland09 @LFC_Ranks @TomCantonMedia Your argument boils down to the fact you're a fan of a club with a smaller fan base than larger clubs & you're unhappy about the extra revenue their larger fanbase generates. I don't see you complaining that smaller clubs can't compete with your club based on revenue though.

@LFC_Ranks @TomCantonMedia Not only about player sales though is it huge sponsorship deals are the bread and butter, how have Wrexham done what they have done in the last few years?????

@StevenBatePhoto @TomCantonMedia @ToonToon1985 For the same reason villa & newcastle can outspend brighton, Bournemouth & brentford. Mid sized clubs like villa & newcastle get to spend more than small clubs & less than big clubs. It's not rocket science & you never complain when club revenue works in your favour.

@TomCantonMedia @ToonToon1985 Why do YOU think they can spend more?

@KevHughesie @TomCantonMedia I never hear Newcastle fans complain about being able to outspend brentford, brighton or Bournemouth. I wonder why that is 🤔

@TomCantonMedia Two decades of mega wealthy ownership would do for me. We can leave it here. What I usually see are Qs from people who want to know why the rules are so restrictive for the likes of Newcastle and Villa (and Forest) and when it’s pointed out exactly why, the reasons are dismissed.

The Moai were actually my first canvassing team. They've been silently judging the establishment since before it was fashionable. Vote Binface for Clacton.

@Gunneruni @lee_ryder Copium

@lee_ryder No contact between clubs and Newcastle maintain player is NOT FOR SALE!

🚨Bruno Guimaraes told £80m Arsenal truth as Newcastle United D-day approaches #NUFC #Arsenal chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football…

@craig_426 @TalkingHighbury @lee_ryder @AFCI4I Why would we have a go at our own club? They are trying to sign a player we like but they're dealing with one of the greediest football clubs in world football who hold their players to ransom when they want to progress their careers so we'll leave it to our negotiators.

@TalkingHighbury @lee_ryder @AFCI4I Howe said no reason for Bruno not to be back next week. You lot are clinging to every sound bite, it’s desperate. Time you start holding your own club accountable, they won’t pay the price needed

Things are NOT LOOKING GOOD regarding Bruno Guimarães' future at Newcastle. (@lee_ryder via @AFCI4I)

@dave43law @DailyMail Maybe they think he should be wearing a donkey jacket or a knitted jumper. Oh no wait they didn't like that either.

The Mail are really desperate to attack in any way they can Burnham's down-to-earth outfits are all actually designer mol.im/a/16005153 via @DailyMail

@DoglusL87655 @afcfranchise Probably but still worth trying. Can't fault the club's ambition though.

@afcfranchise He is staying with real Madrid

#AFC EXPECTED TO MAKE OFFER FOR VINICIUS JUNIOR TOWARDS #RMCF!!! NO AGREEMENT ON PERSONAL TERMS YET THOUGH!

Shout out to Beth Rigby, Robert Peston, Laura Kuenssberg and Chris Mason. The four witless wonders who turned a blind eye to the shady financial shenanigans of Reform UK. Although to be fair, Beth Rigby did have a go......eventually.
