Our English owners raped this club - if they were foreign they'd have been hunted down by now. Instead they're wiping their arses with £50 notes.

He's simply saying we're not depending on Champions League money to run the club. It's from a business model point of view and a not a question of our ambition on the pitch. If he left this story unchecked, I'm pretty sure we'd get stories us becoming the next Leed Utd and that we're in serious financial trouble.
The failure to invest in this squad is down to Wenger. We've just come through one of our busiest transfer periods we're we've finally invested in players but yet the Board are still getting the blame. We left our business late because Wenger was foolish enough to think that this squad could cope. I'm not even sure if it was Wenger's decision to buy these players because he was off at some manager conference on deadline day.
The failure to invest in this squad isn't anything new. Before the Invincible run and when Abramovich first arrived and spend millions on a new starting 11 in the summer, our main purchase was Lehman and everyone had written our season off. But Wenger stuck to his guns and said that something special was happening with the squad and the mood was right and that they are ready to win the title back. He says similar sorts of things now and his actions relate to his words. When he has that belief, he sticks to and feels no need to spend money not unless he sees a special young player that he feels will blossom. Like he did with Reyes and like he's done with The Ox this season.
The Board need to pressure Wenger, but I don't think they'll do it in public and they shouldn't either. That's one of the dumbest things they could ever do. It would really disrupt the team and open up a can of worms if they say something that raises eyebrows. Gazidis has said nothing wrong and he knows that this is a delicate moment and played his cards correctly. We want Champions League football but we won't go broke if it doesn't happen. How can we attract new players or a new manager if that sort of message was sent out?
An excellent and comprehensive analysis.
Now they have no excues in jan not to spend big tbh
Yeah they do, Wenger.
He is so scared to gamble.
He has bought so poorly in the pass that spending would bring him pressure to win something. We dont want that kind of thinking here, winning!!! how dare you!!!!!!!!!!!
like i said they have no excues anymore lol. Wenger muse see surley the sqaud needs additions and his captain and players need lifting.
not really the guy has even said we won't spend even if we need 2 i doubt wenger told him to say that. why did he not push wenger to do deals earier in the summer or get the ball rolling. the man does not care about our ambitions more about making money if thats his job fine but its not.
Yep
from the SwissRamble
...Arsenal splashed out £53 million on new players. Of course, they still ended up with net sales proceeds of £18 million, as players leaving brought in £71 million. If decent offers had come in for the likes of Nicklas Bendtner, Manuel Almunia, Sébastien Squillaci and Denilson, this sum may well have been even higher.
Substantiation?
So Wenger has too much power, not enough pressure, the board allow him autonomy in football matters...but they decide to buy some random players while his back is turned?
Why not use the never-fail method to determine who is really behind our demise?
1. Who gains most?
2. Who loses most?
Answer 1: There can be no doubt about this - the shareholders have seen spectacular returns on their minimal investments and they have now cashed-in. Everything (absolutely everything) they have done has enhanced their personal positions. Coincidence? Luck? Anyone who objected has been ejected. More coincidence?
Answer 2: The fans.
Conclusion: Rich guys see opportunity to get rich by milking a loyal fan base. Rich guys execute an agenda hidden behind a cover story that the club will benefit in the long run. Rich guys destroy everything not connected to the deals in which they have a personal interest. Rich guys cash-in.
Even their bullshit about financial fair play is a crock of shit. Every other team who could has rushed to strengthen before these rules come into effect. They've done all their buying - what did we do? We sold. Now, even if a huge investor comes in, what can we do? It turns out we'll most likely be the biggest victims of financial fair play. A tell tale sign of hidden business agenda. Spin some shit to buy some time and hit the exit before reality sinks in.
The idea Wenger could have done any of this is ludicrous. The only way such a claim would make any sense is if we find out he's got a stake in the club. Even then, is he the same sort of low-life as the current board members? I don't think so.
The board, they're in charge, they've profited massively, they've jumped ship. How can they not be the #1 suspects by a mile? If they haven't engineered this and have been cajoled into disaster by Wenger (disaster in terms of damage to the club rather than their own bank accounts of course), they must be the most incompetent board in the history of football. The cover story they sell is they don't want to interfere with the manager - unless it comes to selling Nasri, for example, for which they all fly in and lay down the law. This story gives them the glorious option of being able to make Wenger a scapegoat, having him attract the heat while they scuttle to another rock.
What they've done is a textbook study of how to loot a football club. In Wenger they have found the perfect idealist. Our manager has huge flaws, we all know that, but I don't think he's a filty, stinking thief and general scum bag like our shareholders.
