The DA

A business has reported a profit after selling stuff at a reasonable mark-up, thought to be the first situation of it’s kind in the UK. Arsenal Football Club took two assets they had purchased several years previously and sold them to customers at a much higher cost, delivering the profitable results and leaving Prime Minister David Cameron to call the strategy ’simply remarkable.’

Asked about their business model a spokesperson for the club said ‘it seemed a pretty sound model when we constructed it, but no other company we spoke to about it seemed to agree. They were all for buying shit loads of stuff and then hoping to subsidise it with little things like gate receipts, or at best sending a collection bucket around the stadium.’

They continued ‘the Prime Minister has asked whether we can be used as a case study to highlight success in British business to the rest of the world. I said ‘that’ll cost you’ to which he replied ‘oh forget it then’ so somewhere along the line I think we need to run the model of our trade for money concept past him once more.’
