Pressure on our manager and/or board to perform better isnt a good thing? You think the status quo is going to change any other way? I am all ears..Quote:

That’s the thought process that humbled Serie A. If fans started walking away from the stadium so would the corporate sponsors. Clubs can’t get too dependent on the TV money because those contracts won’t last forever and if that’s there only source of income, we could be looking at a Serie A situation. It’s similar to the foreign investment argument that sparked FFP. Imagine if the sponsorship money slowed up and clubs started neglecting the fans and stadiums? Brands follow the consumers and I can’t see sponsors coughing up more money for renewals if attendance figures start dropping.Quote:

Sod finishing below them, if we can finish above them then let's.
I am indifferent to finishing above Spurs because it is not a real achievement of any sort, but i also agree that finishing below them won't make any difference to the pressure Wenger is under....he is under none now and he will be under none if we finish below them.
You know that keeping on saying something which isn't true doesn't make it true, right? :unsure:
It's not and never has been an achievement.Quote:
