Bottom line is the board are not taking money out of the club. You can argue that no one is dipping their hands in their pockets to help the club, but how would that sit with our well advertised self sufficiency model. We spend what we have but spend it badly. We would be able to spend much more IF we didnt pay non contributing players exorbitant salaries. If we paid our players 100m instead of 140m then, there would be 40m more to either spend on new players OR pay Nasri..RVP about 120-160pw. The motivation of class players is easy to understand. First they want to get paid like their peers, THEN they want to have something to show for playing the game 20 years.
Wenger wants Cesc RVP to substitute their own dreams for helping him make his dreams come true. There is no way this can happen when agents are shoving options at the players. Gone are the days when clubs had players at their mercy.
The board are to blame for
1. selling out to SK and still staying as board members with literally NO say in the running of the club. This makes them toothless fools as all they do is sit in the boardroom and wait for instructions from Denver or wherever Kroenke lives.
2. Giving Wenger free rein in the club where he answers to NO-ONE as Stan does not give a jot about the successes or failures at the club. Essentially Wenger simply does as he likes dictates player sales, wages acquisitions. Simply they have again abdicated their responsibility to manage the club. In essence we are rudderless.
3. Someone at the club is lying as we always have 30-50m available at every window and Wenger has never complained that he has lacked for funds. I tend to believe Wenger who only buys "top, top" quality, when there is value in the market mind.
even denilson won a trophy this week with sao paulo ffs

except for those first three games and the fans saying they didn't want him to play for them again.
a quick look at his purchases over the past couple of seasons tells you that isn't true.Quote:

i would say he has had enough resources do better (OR BEAT BRADFORD), non?
Of course not! We just do not have the resources that Bradford has! Stan has raped the club since 2008. :rolleyes:Quote:

Rubbish, the Russian is as equal hated. Only reason people want him is, because they seen Stan only cares about himself.Quote:
