Innit. And two of those clubs are looking to move because of the revenue it will generate.
all three clubs are moving or increasing capacity at their stadiums. they sorted of competed for 4th place but due to our bigger resources and stability they haven't generally managed it.
we have been consistent but have never overachieved since the emergence of City and the Chavs. We are consistently top 4 but so is our wage bill and that's a better indicator than transfer spend alone.
Anyway Wenger is here for next 3 years, we will finish top 4 each year and that's about it.
The advantages of moving to a bigger stadium, with bigger revenue means we increase our finances - it doesn't mean success on the field as we've seen because we don't spend to strengthen where needed. If these increased finances were being used in the correct way to build a squad to compete at top level then there wouldn't be many anti-Wenger posters on here. To start this season with extremelly weak defensive cover, no decent DM & Giroud as the only recognized CF, we could have had this staying at Highbury. Wenger is not using the advantage the stadium move has given us, we will be further away than ever this year in Europe & already struggling to beat pub teams in the league with the boring, sideways passing football that we play.
To make use of our new found financial windfall, we need a different approach from someone who recognizes what it takes to compete - Wenger cannot compete tactically these days, especially against top teams & his idea of a strong squad is simply pathetic.
I think all 3 clubs are looking to move for revenue reasons but will they do it & be a less competitive team 10 years later?
