This is an exceptional salary for the UK.

Plus, jobs like this are for people that have a connection with the organization. I can't see myself doing anything, however good the pay might be, for Arsenal. Would be very glad to do that for Chelsea.

Oh that’s a fascinating reaction I never thought of. I mean people might refuse to work for any gambling company or any arms maker, but I cannot I imagine someone offered a job in banking refuse say Goldman but take JP Morgan, simply because their family have been Morgan fans for generations and would never accept any other bank …

Having done a bit of consulting for Chelsea FC, I wouldn't recommend working there in an office job. Poor pay (I doubt anyone below "Head of"/CxO even touches 6 figures) and very average working conditions.

I thought at first that you might be bantering but after reading your last sentence I am not sure anymore. I don't think being associated with Arsenal at this posting is ever going to be a blemish on anyone's CV. They are higher than Chelsea in PL standings at this moment.

Aren’t they both owned by pompous rich dudes and private equity, like most companies? Tasty is the boot we enjoy licking.

[lifeisstillgood]

Yes I think that’s just in the top 1% of salaries

But I’m pretty sure Brad got Jonah Hill for much less.

Surely you mean Scorcese got Jonah??
