"First you get the money, then you get the power..."

Forbes magazine has rated Arsenal as the 7th most valuable sports franchise in the world assessing the club’s worth, following Stan Kroenke’s takeover, at $1.19 billion. Last year the Gunners placed 8th in the rankings valued at $1.18 billion.

Bayern Munich (19th), Barcelona (26th), AC Milan (34th), Chelsea (46th) and Juventus (49th) are the only other football sides to make the top fifty.

Is it fair to say our achievement does not reflect our position? I think so
