People are scandalised when banks lose money but I'm scandalised when football clubs lose money. For me it's the same process. I'm not against spending money; I'm against losing money."
This quote again highlights that Wenger is treating Arsenal FC as purely a business, by repeatedly pointing ot how we are paying our debtors back, how we make profit etc. I'm not saying that paying our debts is a bad thing (of course it's a very important aspect of any institution) but he fails to mention that football is ABOUT MORE THAN THE FINANCIAL BOTTOM LINE! Nowhere does he mention in this quote about understanding the fans frustrations at failing to compete for trophies (which is different from demanding that we silverware every season, which no fan has ever done)
