Zimm, even you say all Arsene needs to do is spend a little money, and improve the team, and that you're not calling for megabucks to be spent. And we all believe the same. He needs to spend some cash.
However, this isn't about AW spending money, or indeed his inadequacies on pitchside matters.
This is something spoiling our game, and if nothing else, he is saying this for the good of football, and more importantly, the good of Arsenal FC.
There is every reason to be suspicious, no question about that.
But it appears, similar to how many are branded kneejerkers on here for such reactions, Wenger and many others are kneejerkers to a situation where info is scant.
But let's assume the Man City owners have some ties with their brand sponsor --- so what? Is it by default illegal?
There are reasons to be frustrated as a gooner right now --- but this is the least of my worries now. As I pointed earlier, the market was headed that way long before this -- at least as far as AFC was concerned.
Big money was on our mind when we moved stadium. We've just been beaten to the punch. Big time. I'm not convinced our board wouldn't do exactly the same as City given the opportunity. We've seen enough now to know that football is a dirty business. I don't think there are any saints at large, especially not our lot with all their back room wrangling which is happening at the expense of the team and performances. Our lot seem to have as little regard for the game as City's mob, but for different reasons.
I don't disagree, but at the end of the day this will be looked at by the governing bodies and they'll make the decision. If they deem Ok nothing anyone else says will matter.Quote:

The boy who cried wolf if you like.
Yeah, I think Wenger indulges the media far too much tbh. He should just tell them to bugger off as he knows they're simply following the trawler, despite the fact he's usually right and speaks sense on the subjects it never goes well for us.Quote:

'everyone thinks they've got the prettiest wife at home' --- that is his saying isn't it?
he thinks what he is doing is the right way; so do city,chelsea,barca,Real etc. --- it is upto the powers that be to decide.
what i want wenger to waste his time on is the organisation of his farking defence.
Very true, he should know that if you throw wives from trawlers the sardines will follow.Quote:

Because, ultimately, we trade our players in the same market for inflated sums.
He did not complain when he sold Ade and Toure for much much more than they were actually worth -- did he? Nor did he Re: Anelka etc. a long long time ago.
Wenger is right.
Wenger is right to say it.
This is completely separate to the multitude of inadequacies in his management and approach to management.
