And he can't do it because to be the very best in professional sport you need to take drugsbe 100% focused on winning. He is 50% focused on the team and 50% focused on the money, at best. Probably more like 1% / 99% because everything about this club has been modelled on the finances. They have turned good bookkeeping into a virtue, which is valid for a laundry or a burger stand or a bank, but has no fucking place in football. The definition of sound finances in football is anything goes as long as it doesn't go as far as Leeds or Rangers. Other clubs take risks, we take none. Except in terms of football in which case risks are not just acceptable but desirable. No striker? No problem, get a cheapster in and that covers the rules requirement. Need a midfielder? No worries, that keep-fit bloke can fill in. As soon as this big money project started Wenger was done, all his focus went there and it changed his philosophy and in turn the clubs fortunes (and the club certainly made a fortune).
