Arsenal had 29 of their matches for the 2021/2022 campaign on TV, and that meant they made a lot of money from the broadcasting revenue despite their failure to finish the campaign inside the top four.
The Gunners remain one of the clubs with the biggest fan-base in the Premier League, but the reason they had so many games on TV is different, according to financial analyst Kieran Maguire.
He believes there is an appeal that comes with being a London club and the London Derbies are a way to get more people to watch TV for the broadcasters.
“It works out as just under £1m for every game you’re on the TV after 10 games,” he told Football Insider.
“So, it is going to work out in the region of £19m. They have proved to be popular with broadcasters. There is an element of soap opera and there was a lot of tension around Arteta.
“The run for that final Champions League position was a story in its own right. There is also the fact there are so many teams in London. London derbies are attractive to broadcasters.
“Arsenal have a global fanbase. They are an attractive draw for broadcasters.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Many Arsenal players will give up making more money from TV money for a place in the top four.
Returning to the Champions League is something we absolutely must achieve soon, and the next few weeks before the next campaign starts will show how ready we are for a better 2022/2023 season.
And despite their failure to win any major trophy in almost 2 decades. Their fan base continues to grow even faster. There is something unique about arsenal. Arsenal is a religion
So the FA cup is not a major trophy is it? We happen to have won it 6 times in your 2 decades timeline, oh, and a Premier League title!
Well if you look at how seriously MA took the domestic cups this season,you wouldn’t think that they are major trophies,would you?
“Arsenal is like a religion”that’s blasphemy!!
Arsenal is not like a religion.
ARSENAL IS A RELIGION.
Surely what matters i s how much more we made than such as Spurs, Liverpool, United. I believ we made a fraction only more than Spurs and about the same as the others I mention.
I discount the corruptly owned clubs Chelsea(as was) City, and Newcastle, AS THE MURDERERS THAT OWN THESE CLUBS USE THE AMPLE BLOOD MONEY FROM THEIR CRIMES TO BUY THEIR SUCCESS.
It is appalling how so many simply accept these ghastly monsters who own thse once honourable clubs, as fair game.
MANY OF US HOWEVER DO NOT AND NEVER WILL DO EITHER, AS WE HAVE PRINCIPLES AND BELIEVE IN CALLING OUT SCUM OWNERS FOR THE VILLAINS THEY TRULY ARE.
Our own owner, plus FSG, Joe Lewis and the Glazers are far from decent humans but are not murderers and villains however.
