if a footie fan loves football, he doesnt buy a club and spend bilions just to win trophies. tahts not football, buying every player on the planet just becuase he is good and putting him in one team is not football. but it is for idiots, hence why you enjoy it

So, if you had billions to spend and owned Arsenal....what would you do and who would you buy? Or would you continue on with this self sustaining model after years of failure?

Last time i respond to any of your inane self-righteous shit. I tend to forget GW has morons of your calibre running loose. So long

Have to say I rarely agree with ollie but I can't argue with what he's saying here.
Do you really think that football should be about who has the richest owner, who can throw the most money around?
I think Arsenal have been far too cautious in the transfer market over the last few years but I wouldn't want Arsenal to achieve success by spending stupid amounts of money from some billionaire benefactor.
City are only where they are because of the money. Money they don't have. As Ollie said above, they spent 117% of their income on wages last year. 117%. Just on wages. Forget the transfer fees and other running costs.
Any normal club would have gone bankrupt.
It's obscene that a club is allowed to operate this way, I can't believe someone above said billionaire owners are a good thing in the game.
EVERYTHING that is wrong in the game is, at root, because of the obscene amounts of money and the massively uneven distribution of it throughout the game.

i would provide funds but operate sensibly. would i sanction 150 million pounds of spending on three players no.

but there is no way i would do what man city or chelsea are doing right now

You know what's actually funny, Man U have still managed to win and compete with the likes of City & Chelsea ok. In fact, the league is now tougher to compete in than it was when it was just a two-horse race from the outset.

according to orstein on the bbc, van persie last week was coming round to the idea of staying this year, contract or not, but wenger told him he was not in his plans and that he was selling him before the game on sunday.

good

Fucked off that we have sold to utd, but have a feeling Wenger had this planned all along to prevent vp having a proper pre-season with utd

They have, but they have pretty much the best manager of all time.
Wenger's not the bumbling idiot some people on here make out but he's not as good as Fergie.
