The board are businessmen. They are in it for the money. They have shares etc and want to make money out of it as they have put money in which is fine by me. We have got sponsorships coming out of our arses, a brand new stadium etc.
Wenger is the football man or well he's supposed to be. Where's the winner in him to not settle for 2nd best or in our case 4th best? He should be doing the best he can to make us as good as we can be and not one person can say he is doing that.
I think this article nails it.
If you want someone to blame...

If there's even a shred of truth in that it's a stunning demonstration of how far the priorities have moved away from football.Written into the England winger’s deal is a clause stating that Arsenal must pay Saints £10,000 every time Oxlade-Chamberlain appears for more than 20 minutes.
Incredibly a trend emerged, with Wenger bringing him off the bench after 72 minutes (v Stoke), 73 minutes (Liverpool), 72 minutes (Coventry), 65 minutes (Norwich), 76 minutes (Fulham), 86 minutes (Tottenham), 67 minutes (Swansea), 73 minutes (West Ham), 71 minutes (Swansea), and 75 minutes (Reading).
Arsenal’s accounts department were stunned to receive an email from Southampton demanding payment for the appearances, with the south coast club justifying their argument based on stoppage time.

The club is beginning to get the reaction from years of neglect in the transfer market and having no interest in the football side, fans, former players/managers/ and the media are now dissecting every part of the club and highlighting the problems within in, everyone thought the stadium move was going to be the beginning of something big, as it turned out it was the start of a bad 8 years for the club....a once respected club who did things the right way has now become a joke of a club that goes around p*ssing every one off and doesn't know what it's doing.
Sad to see, but to be expected, you can't expect to sit there and do as little as possible and still get the same credit/respect from others.
It’s not unbelievable. As with the Walcott situation, he froze him out because contract talks were stalling. He hasn’t got his priorities straight.
Stadium move was huge for the gang of leeches and it will be a gift that keeps on giving for the current gang too. Success all depends on where you are looking from.

The biggest thing for me is, after the relief of the last day of last season, surely Wenger must have said to himself "I aint going through that again!"
I mean it was closer than close us scraping into the top four. A nervous 1 nil win at Newcastle to finish 1 point above the Spuds. I thought to myself surely Wenger won't want to be in that position again and he'll at least try and improve the team.
He's done nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I cannot fathom what the fuck is going on. Here's a manager that's seemingly intelligent, surely he knows this team isn't good enough. I don't think it's even good enough for 4th now.
If he believes there are no top top top players out there to sign (and I partly agree) then he could still have made some very logical signings that would have improved us significantly.
Just look at the mess we've got for goalkeepers as one example. WTF is going on here? Begovic is attainable for £15m, prem proven. Just go and buy him! We could have singed him 2 months ago!
I like Wenger, I'd love him to succeed but are you telling me the board wont let him buy Begovic for £15m??? Nah, no way. Wenger's lost his way big time.
I think he and the club have genuinely tried to sign some proper quality this summer, they've just collectively made a complete hash of it.
I don't buy that's entirely Wenger's fault but he's certainly not blameless but the whole process of negotiating transfers for Arsenal seems to be completely incompetent.
There were top-top-top signings, its just that he took too long to buy them.
I mean the Higuain deal, why the fuck did he try to dither around the £22m mark ? It was obvious another club would come in for him if we spent that long, should have upped the deal to around £27m or so, and perhaps Real would have accepted it. It got drawn out, and eventually Napoli came in for him.
Same with Jovetic, he ended up going for £22m, Wenger didn't want to pay more than £18m for him. Jovetic was linked to us , in June ? We were the first club to really be linked with him.
Gustavo, just bid and match his wages to what Wolfsburg are paying him. We've cleared enough dogshit of his previous signings for us to free up some cash ?
Cesar, he wants 80k a week, but Wenger would rather pay Bendtner 52 grand
