Nah fuck it, I'll just go and support Liverpool. You get all that stuff for free over there plus they give you a million quid.Quote:

Will we see the wage structure changed? no. will we see £20m spent on a player? no.
we will see half the team leave? yes. you may argue that's a good thing, but take a step back and realise it isn't. rvp will have an excuse to go, so will vermaelen, sczcesny etc... our spine are here for him. they all look up to him.
the problem lies beyond wenger. it's the fucking board.
why are we as fans being taken as mugs? why is NOTHING being reinvested in the squad? it's because the board want to get rid of the debt ASAP then flog their shares and get out. the board are making £14000 a share with all the debt we currently have, imagine what they'd get when the debt is gone.
thats the reason we arent fucking investing.
the people at the top are filling their pockets and will walk as soon as they hit maximum profit levels and the debt is gone.
fans are too blind to see it and simply blame wenger.
I blame Wenger cos he makes the decisions about what goes on on the pitch.
The club is more than what goes on on the pitch. For sure, Wenger is responsible for that. But he's not responsible for the shit that goes on in the boardroom. We must allow (in fact I fucking insist) that the board has at least some say in the running of the club. Let's just assume, like any other board, they have total say. Kroenke the Clown has left this lot in charge, he's said he's happy to drift on without making changes. It's PHW and the gang in charge. These are the people who dictate how much we have to spend and when we have it. That doesn't mean Wenger isn't involved in how it is spent, he probably is - although I wonder what really went on with the 5 emergency signings in the summer when Wenger was out of the country. There's a massively unhealthy bias in favour of non-football related activities at the moment. Don't you get it? If the board are supporting Wenger in half a decade of folly then they are every bit as guilty as he is, if they have his hands tied they are still guilty of robbing the fans, if Wenger is controlling them (a ridiculous and utterly unrealistic scenario) then the board is guilty of being a bunch of pussies. Whatever is true, it doesn't matter who comes in a fucked up board like this stays on. Either they'll just control the new guy or end up grovelling at his feet again. They are fucking inept, sitting on their arses as the club goes down the plughole. We don't just need better tactics (Wenger's department) we need better players too and we need to be able to hang on to our existing players (the board's department). Leaders should take responsibility or else they shouldn't be leaders at all. If Wenger goes and the board stays then we have removed half the problem and there's no point trying to make out otherwise.Quote:

The only thing that has been keeping us alive has been the Champions League, not just for the money but also the prestige that means we can at least get tier 2 players from time to time. When that goes we're in real trouble. This is what Wenger has been saying (couched in political speak) this week. You saw him today. Frazzled and fucked off. He fucked up but this isn't what he wants. No manager wants steady decline. It's fair enough to blame him for fuck-ups like today, but not the long term fuck up that we've been over the past half decade. There are others who need to share in that blame and it's about time we heard from them.
