http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35502898Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has warned extra television revenue for Premier League clubs will be used to buy players rather than cut ticket prices.
In excess of £8bn will come into the league from new broadcast deals.
But Wenger says clubs will need that additional cash to meet the rising cost of transfer fees and player wages.
"What will happen is the prices of the players will go up and you will need this supplement of money coming in to buy new players," he said.
"I believe that the pressure on spending the money will become bigger and you cannot necessarily distribute the money to other people."
How much more needs to be said? He puts the interest of the likes of Kronke ahead of the fans. He doesn't have to justify this bullshit. He's a smart guy and studied economics. It wouldn't cost that much to lower ticket prices. We're able to set aside £3m a year for Kronke and nobody at the club can explain what it's for but Wenger has an excuse as to why ticket prices must keep rising and why they won't spend on the fans even though revenue has increased. It's utter bullshit and he's the face of this charade. He's using his reputation to help peddle these greedy bastards agenda.
