The problem with people on this board is that they either take one view or the other as if the two are necessary polar opposites. Stating that the money is not there doesn't mean I'm defending Wenger I'm not, I don't think he is good enough anymore but the point is that we cannot afford the financial outlays that Liverpool have, we cannot afford to sign players like Aquilani, Downing etc and then write off the money when they prove to be duds. The cost of running the club and the wage bill has meant that our profits have occurred from player sales, and when the sales aren't being made we run at a loss. Wenger is not good enough, but the board know we cannot overhaul the management and coaching staff anymore than we can the squad and we have to overplay and risk injuries to players like Ramsey, Wilshere, Walcott have to spend loads on them to keep them from joining other clubs and we are stuck with geriatric flops like Arteta who doesn't have the legs to stop Everton, Chelsea, Liverpool making him look stupid whatever game plan we put out.
