The statements now are all about money being available because of these great new front loaded commercial deals providing further indication that there was no money available.

Wenger's time is gone, but lets not rewrite history indicating there were bountiful resouces available to him - there were not, but he should have done better with what was available.
I dont trust him either - however I am not arguing about bountiful resources, he had ENOUGH resources to use regardless if it was generated through commercial deals now or through the sale of players previously...there has always been money to spend - I believe he chooses not to. Wengers vision lines up with the Boards targets - he doesnt believe that the solution is to buy, it is to develop, he has been hammering that into our heads from day one. Even if he was told that he could not spend, he has been making millions knowing how this, he is just as bad as the rest of them and in no way is he a scapegoat.
