    ‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’

    The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!

Wenger, and a whole bunch of other owners and managers cry foul. UFEA is investigating and your screaming... where's the evidence... Clearly Wenger is in the wrong... He has to be!

    This place is being overrun by some Arsenal fans that are so immoderate and knee jerk in their views and that have become such self-parodying muppets that I'm surprised they haven't self combusted in existensial angst from these years of trophy drought and frustration.

    I could give a fark what other owners think. I can think for myself -- and no, not with red goggles or an arsenal hat on.

    No one has said wenger is wrong -- he is being hypocritical and kneejerk.

    The whole stadium project was a commercialization project -- he sees the club as a business. And that is where the sport is headed. And in all big businesses all commercial routes are exploited to gain an advantage over one's competitors. And that is what City is doing -- if it is shown to be illegal THEN FINE. It hasn't (yet)!


    The example I gave up there is just one scenario where city can explain themselves away. And it is a pretty valid one. That the said sponsor sees it as a speculative investment which will prove cost effective based on City's potential and achievement in a short space of time, is a valid and viable commercial deal. I am sure it works for city fans alrite.

    So you see, it is not out of the realm of the business world for the City deal to be in fact a sound one.

    But then why consider that, when I could cry foul and spout moral outrage because it doesn't favor AFC. Sign of the times and all that.

    Mate, you are totally mixed up.
    Even if City where on a rapid assent to the very sumit of world football, had a fanbase that showed exceptional growth, and had massive waiting lists to there 45k seater Etihad (lol) Stadium, they still wouldn't seem as attractive as clubs like Barca and Real. Hell, we have a higher pedigree, and would be worth WAAAAY more than city in terms of commercial value and brand recognition and all the things that count as far as these things are concerned..

    This is not the same as building a stadium, City won't be worth 20% more than barca to any sane investor. This is not Wenger being hypercritical, and this is not something City will easily explain away if someone with a solid pair of balls decided to investigate. All but Wengers most blinkered critics I think would concede that he had a fair shout in this issue.

    Who gives a fu*ck.

    It's the so-called sponsor's money -- they can invest in whichever club they farking want. That is the art of exploiting rules to you advantage in the business world.

    That is where the sport is headed -- pure business. That is how wenger sees it -- as business. Big businesses are 'dirty'. That is the real world.

    I would like to say "people like you who ignorantly drop there trousers to big businesses *because that's how the world works* are the reason institutions like News Corp etc etc exist" - but I won't.

    You can't bitch about someone crying foul over some rule breaking, especially if it's in his interests to do so, and action is likely to be taken against it.

    which rule has city broken?

    in fact it is unlikely --- which is why in wenger's rant he spouted that a cap should be placed on how much sponsorship a club can get. That is farking bollocks.

    and that is what make all of this outrage so desperate. It is not grounded in any reality.
