Arsenal aren't too in debt considering they've moved into a brand new stadium. Chelsea's is higher than I though though.

I recall having a conversation with one 'markopolo' along those lines Mick. He ranted and raved about how I'd gone all quiet when Spurs lost or something. It did amuse me because I actually support a team that has NO chance of playing League football against Spurs next season barring a miracle, such is our League position. I do tend to look out for Spurs results, though, for 'family' reasons.....

Assume Southampton's is in the form of a mortgage on St Marys?

Arsenals debt will be a problem if they do not qualify for champions league this season however..

If the rumours are true about Abramovich wanting out, then it'll make things interesting at Chelsea with that level of debt.
Somewhat surprised not see Newcastle in that list. I thought Ashley had said everytime he thought he'd cleared the club's debts, another letter from the debt collectors arrived addressed to Mr Shepherd.
