He should write a book about his time at Arsenal tbh
I and im sure others dont give a fuck about him at Monaco or in Japan or his shite playing career before that.
My brother will probably buy it so i'll probably read it. But i wont enjoy it
Well maybe the 1996-2005 section
He'll call it 'My Struggle' tbh.
Look How Much Fucking Money I've Got!! - The Arsene Wenger story.
Front cover or back?
And Then There Were WUM
Well, my fairly simple and possibly wrong conclusion is:
We have been lagging behind commercially for a long long time after the stadium build
Wenger and the board unite on Project Youth
Project Youth does its job (kind of), Arsenal make a lot of money, but Wenger is restricted by the constant upheaval
Project Youth has to continue in the background to make up the shortfall from a lack of commercial income
Wenger and the board recognise the increasing competition and pitfalls of falling out of the CL places, and alter things
Wenger is more liberal in his spending on 'experienced players' (you can probably call this at around 2009)
This is offensive to Wenger's principles, as he dislikes the idea of spending on the likes of Santos and Arteta, but he rolls with what is necessary
The board are getting loads of yanks on board to eventually exploit the commercial opportunities, and convince Wenger about a money-spinning tour
Wenger spots the odd 'value gem' - Koscielny, Cazorla - as an aside from the meh players like Santos
Arsenal wait until 2014 to try and open the treasure chest
Will Wenget sign for the 'new era'?
As I say, speculative. But merely dealing from the fact that Arsenal are very much lagging behind and are banking on maintaining the prestige of CL football in the next two years to get those deals in line with Man Utd (probably not) and the rest. So I wouldn't say it's especially certain.
What a great story. Wenger should hire me as ghostwriter.
"One day I shall write a book about..."
"Maybe one day the story will be told..."
"No. It is not true. One day you may know. I will perhaps write a book"

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
