This club has been run the Wenger way for a long time, we know he dislikes the spending in the game and believes a club that makes profits is a healthy club, we also know he likes to find unknown players move them all over the pitch and try to turn them into stars that's the Wenger way.
Gazidis is Wenger's yes man, the guy who agree's with Wenger and supports him whatever the scenario, after all Wenger had a say in who got the job, just like he seems to have a say in everything the club does.
Am I surprised he didn't go to a bigger club when given the chance, no because let's face it he'd be required to spend money and deliver success and who is convinced he can, he certainly isn't.
Arsenal is the easy option, massive wage, 100% backing from the board, a place he can do what he wants when he wants with relatively low pressure.
If he went out and bought three top quality players for 80 million and failed to deliver a trophy (and thus profit) he knows the board would have serious questions and in truth that's outside his comfort zone, he's happy enough getting 4th place and making the club a profit, in his economist eyes that's the equivalent of success on the pitch.
We've heard all the excuses, all the theories etc, but it's been long enough now to show that he just isn't really interested in spending, it goes against the grain.
