Wenger being sanctimonious again

you know what has also had a fundamental effect on the game as whole since time immemorial?

poaching of young talent from smaller clubs by big clubs and causing a huge gap between the top tier and the lower tier --- so much so, the champions league group matches a farking unwatchable.

I recall platini slamming wenger for it a few years ago and the whole board (the old board that is) labelled platini a wan*ker for singling wenger out.

That is some perspective.

You see, perspective is when the said misdeed directly affects you. It is the name of the game. Most big businesses employ 'underhand' methods to get ahead (I give you microsoft).

Is wenger wrong, NO. Is he being hypocritical, YES.

I dont really see what Wenger saying as wrong, I think everybody in some way or other are asking the same thongs, even FIFA!
Wenger does make me wish that he would just STFU but in this case he is just using his position and knowledge to say what he has the right to say, the same way the owners of Citeh believe they have the right to dump an obsence amount of money into their club under the guise of a sponsorship deal

Let the peof have his dig. . .I mean say, let the Mancs get riled and then lets take it out on the pitch, we got nothing to be scared of a few Mancs throwing their toys out of their pram about something they probably dont understand anyway

Wenger is entitled to his opinion but sometimes he should just STFU and concentrate on his own team....

:goodpost:

I would have just said "I hope FIFA scrutinise that deal well enough -- if it is fair then fine" and just moved on. Very easy to do rather than go all judgmental.

But as Ach astutely pointed out, AW is getting his excuses in well ahead of time.

Liverpool owner John W Henry has backed Arsene Wenger after he questioned Manchester City's finances.

Wenger insinuated City were bending the rules of Uefa’s Financial Fair Play by agreeing a £400 million deal with Etihad Airways for the naming rights of their stadium.

This was denied by a City spokesman who stated the club are working within the rules and regulations of Uefa.

However, Henry has supported Wenger's claim and believes there could be something afoot with City’s finances.

Henry said on his Twitter account: “A club's best player has to be worth at least 10% of your naming rights. Mr. Wenger says boldly what everyone thinks.”

Yeah he probably is working his excuses early, but it must be a bit frustrating for him to be fair. He's harped on for years about financial fair play and operating within a clubs means, then when the rules he's pined for for years finally come in, City go and say "fcuk that we're still spending big"!

Kind of pissing on Arsene's cornflakes!

And that is the crust of the matter.
Reality bites, they say.

EDIT: let's hope this is the wake-up call AW needs to get him back into the real-world where winning is everything and you do everything that's within your means to win. The wanker Mourihno does it and he is regarded one of the greatest coaches around. :coffee:

Problem with Wenger is he never STFU, haven't read this and frankly can't be bothered but it's probably him looking at others and pointing the finger (isn't he always doing that?).

He should just focus on the our problems something he always managed to neglect, he likes to pretend a bit of BS spirit and another year of experiencing failure is enough to fix everything

It's not his job to police the game, it's his job to make the club successful, maybe he should concentrate on that for once.

He's lost a lot of credibility with the nonsense he's come out with in recent years IMO.

well of course, and that's the bottom line here. pointless rants about nothing more than an answer to a question.

there's a daily quota of frustration to get out there i think.
