Former board members, board members, Wenger himself.....we have direct quotes from these guys but people are choosing to believe a story from an unnamed source with no quotes.

If Wenger is powerless to change the wage structure, then how was he able to get Henry on that final big contract? Same goes for Fabregas? How comes we were able to buy Sol Campbell and put him on that £100 a week contract? The wages could be a problem but so far we're not even getting past the stage of agreeing a transfer fee.
Then you have Dein who says AW is the best man for the job still, Or is he just saying it to be nice in the problems we have.

On the 2nd boled part i agree with, but you have to remember we were at Highbury or have just moved, so bended the transfer structure was ok. No now where wages are silly and 100K is like a starting point these days. we can't offer 170k like a chelsea or the mancs or city.
