I admire Arsenal very much, and part of that is that they are profitable.

There was a lot of criticism in Boston that we weren't going to spend money on the Red Sox after we did the Liverpool transaction. Then there was the fear we wouldn't spend in Liverpool. Hopefully the fans of both clubs will eventually see what we see clearly - that there is nothing to fear from the existence of the other club.

To me, the word profitable means sustainable - able to sustain a business that has a high degree of excellence.
