Arsenal the worlds 2nd richest club

The Gunners have seen their turnover increase to a massive £190 million, which places them behind the Spanish giants Real Madrid as the world’s richest football club.

The growth has come from moving their ground from Highbury to the brilliant Emirates Stadium. Which at a stroke increased business by 50%, this placed them above Manchester Utd and Chelsea in income and as it happens Premier League position too!

But being successful may bring them into the takeover zone, as at the moment the London club would make a very attractive investment. Former Vice Chairman David Dein is said to be putting a plan together as are others, this off the pitch action is something that is out of the players control.
