As we all now know, Gareth Barry wasn't out for Champions League football, but the glorious tint of money.
This is a relief, however, as he probably would have helped Arsenal next season (and for a few to come), but this type of money - grubbing attitude wouldn't help the rest of the squad.
On a different note, the TV revenue figures for all BPL clubs was published through numerous outlets the other day with Arsenal finishing in 3rd spot (behind Chealski & ManUre) with a whopping 74 million pounds ($123 mil) from TV revenue alone. This doesn't include match day sales or merchandising monies.
If you all remember last year, Arsenal had it's highest turnover ever, and only made it to the final 8 of the Champions League, this year and 2 more Champs League games means it should also be in the neighborhood of last year's turnover (albeit the economy could be better).
My question to you and the board is: WHERE IS THIS MONEY GOING????
