[QUOTE="dawg, post: 2891990, member: 1402"] "The headline here is that these layoffs will save Arsenal, and Kroenke, no more than $3 million. They just netted $4.7M for winning the FA Cup, and guaranteed themselves tens of millions of dollars by qualifying for the Europa League. It is also important to note that Kroenke and his wife Ann Walton Kroenke, the Walmart heiress, are worth $8.3 billion. [B]That $3M they save is exactly .03% of their worth[/B]." $3m a rounding error for Kroenke. Absolutely pathetic. The players' 12.5% pay cuts were made in part to spare layoffs at club. There was a saying long held at Arsenal, and repeated by Ian Wright (the club's second-leading goal scorer) when the cuts were announced: “Remember who you are, what you are, and who you represent." Clearly no longer held. Most English commentators in the vein of Pat Summerall; the Telemundo/Univision guys are Gus Johnson after six cans of Red Bull, which makes me wish my Spanish was better.
