Wenger is the scapegoat for the Arsenal board.

All I'm saying Syn, is that we should be getting more bang for a buck based on what we pay our players. Last year we finished 3rd, but was out of all comps by February and showed no sign ever challenging the top 2. Think we finished something like some 20 points off.

This season, it's the same crap. We're already 15 points adrift of the league leaders and no one is taking us seriously in the ECL.

We deserve better from players who are so handsomely rewarded for wearing the shirt for a few hours each season.

I know that's what you're saying. And I'm saying if you take the sensible view and look around, you can't claim we're perform badly according to our spend relative to other teams. To start challenging for the title, we need to spend more. e.g. Lets lose £24m and keep Van Persie for the season. IMO, that would've given us a chance for the title this year. 80+ points is on the cards with Wilshere and Cazorla feeding him and Walcott and Podolski supporting. Without Van Persie, we have no chance. A more tactically astute manager wouldn't have us sweating for 4th (like Arsene is currently) but at the same time nobody could get us 80+ points. If you want that, you keep your Van Persie's or sign some £20m+ players.

Does anyone know how much prize money is obtained by winning the league?

Perhaps that's the only thing the board consider? If say we get more for selling RvP than finishing first with RvP, then the club sell the player.

I don't know if that is the case, but if it is, Wenger is complicit in this and if he had any integrity from a purely footballing perspective, and his hands are constantly forced by the board, then he should walk.

All this sack Wenger or resign Wenger is not going to solve anything, they would just bring in another yes man stooge. The deep rooted problem is one parasite namely Stan Fucking Kroenke, he is the one person who has single handedly destroyed our club not Wenger. Wenger is merely the scapegoat and I actually feel sorry for Arsene because despite him knowing the truth, he has at all times acted with dignity and respect and has never shyed away from the media spotlight. Kroneke is building a vast fortune from our club, he is accountable for the misery we have endured for several seasons and more. He is an investor who is maximising his wealth from the club to increase his net worth. This **** doesnt give a single fuck about Arsenal, he hardly comes to the games and has always kept himself out of the limelight, letting others address the issues. Arsenal is just an unlimited money prinitng machine for this greedy ****. We have no other choice but to boycott the next home match with all 60K fans outside marching in protest chanting to the theme "FUCK OFF KRONEKE" "FUCK OFF KRONEKE" "FUCK OFF KRONEKE" "FUCK OFF KRONEKE" AND "SACK THE BOARD".

Got to be the funniest post on here for a while. Kroenke has been one of the main players at Arsenal since 2010.. we have been shit since we moved to Emirates. And kroenke is not the reason why we cannot beat a League 2 side. Forget about not beating them.. we cant even threaten their goal till the 80th freaking minute. Fine, we are no where close to City, Utd and Chelsea in terms of finance but surely we should be beating Swansea at home . Forget beating them, not even threatening their goal. That, my dear sir, is all down to Wenger.

So I suggest going to that marching thingy you mentioned and screaming "FUCK OFF WENGER"

4th highest in the league and we finish 3rd. Does that suit your argument?

er nah.

the way people go on if we were financially restricted you'd expect a wage bill similar to mid table teams.

then you could applaud wengers achievements for getting us into top 4 with complete financial 'restriction'.

we have the 4th highest wage bill in the league.

thats not financial restriction.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

And to stay on topic, the 3 teams that are slightly ahead of us on wage bill all have something tangible to show for it. What do we have except making up numbers in the CL for a considerable amount of years now.

Fuck, we're currently at round of 16 and we are heavy, heavy underdogs, expected to crash out to a real big club.

4th highest in the league and we finish 3rd. Does that suit your intangible argument?

[Power n Glory]

Funny the Russian seems to think otherwise.

Come on dude. Wenger whose the manager of the club or the Russian whose not even on the Board and has a clear agenda? Whose opinion has more weight in this argument?

This is Wenger confirming that he has the Board's ear and that they will listen if he puts more pressure on them.

But why make the point if Wenger's word trumps it?
