Extension

Last month, Arsenal announced an extension to the sponsorship deal of Emirates Airline, which will be worth around £30million a year. Gazidis, however, insists simply throwing all of that cash at the team is not the answer for a quick fix. "I am not sure what the alternative strategy is, it has not really ever been spelt out," he said. "I assume the alternative strategy is to spend more than the nation state of Abu Dhabi, more than anyone else, and I am not even sure I would describe that as a strategy, but it is the only other thought that comes to mind."
