Wenger and the Board at Loggerheads

[Niall_Quinn]

So you'd rather have a billionaire owner in Stan who knows nothing about football and isn't injecting any of his own cash into the club? Or fatty who pays for a box at the club and is a fan who'd put his own money into the club?

Usmanov is without doubt a shady character but do you think Stan got that rich from playing by the rules? Nah.

I'd rather have neither, tbh. Unfortunately other clubs and other fans don't see it that way. Nothing good can come from allowing corporate raiders into the game. In the short term it may look very attractive as the money flows, but in the longer term these guys want large returns and they don't care what gets left behind once they are out. It's called smart business, people have been taught to admire this sort of behaviour. If you're asking me for a solution then I don't have one. Once the pregnancy is confirmed it disqualifies all possibility of the girl being a virgin. So then the question becomes, how far do we go? Do we say fuck it, fine, let's hook up with criminals and every assorted scum.

I agree with that.

It does make me laugh though how some gooners point out Abramovich, Glazers etc are bad for their clubs in the long term.

Whilst I don't disagree with this, our English board have been the greediest mother fuckers of them all. They haven't put in a penny of their own money and have made 100's of millions instead. To top it off they sold out to some pratt who has no interest in football or the club.

I feel they should be getting a lot more bad press.

Sad to say, but I'm not really sure anyone has the best interests of Arsenal at heart any more. All the more reason to mourn Danny Fiszman's passing as it's starting to look a lot like he was the guy holding the wolves at bay.

Will be interesting to see whether this 'interpretation' is picked up by the good people of Fleet Street tomorrow. As I say, I suspect this is a Dein/Usmanov production, and like all trails from fat, greedy slugs, I'm inclined to treat with a massive pinch of salt.
