This is worth a listen. Some good points made.
I think people need to cut Wright some slack. He’ll always be a Gooner. He made some good points at the end and he’s right about the players letting Wenger and themselves down. Beyond the tactics and team selection, there should have been unified agreement that we wouldn’t get battered coming out for the 2nd half. It’s even more embarrassing because the beating came at the hands of a Mourinho team and they should have been pumped to deal with him considering his recent comments. I have a hunch that the comments got to the players and Wenger and we set out to attack him instead of just staying calm and making sure we don’t make mistakes. We got the wind kicked out of us early and stayed flat from there on.
The club wasn't struggling financially, it put a financial plan in place that focused on securing increased revenues so the club could compete into the future against the biggest clubs domestically and in Europe. This plan has been completely successful, despite a major economic downturn, and Wenger has been instrumental in achieving the result. Like any senior employee who has delivered for his bosses he has been paid well. If you want to criticise anyone at the club regarding money, have a look at the previous shareholders who put very little in and then demanded the maximum payout when they left. Criticising Wenger for the results on the pitch in one thing. Criticising him on the financial side is nonsensical.
