    As for contradictions, it's interesting that the people who are saying the money thing with Chelsea and City is an 'excuse' are also saying that we should be finishing above Leicester because we have so much more money than them (which is right, we should, and that is also why the money thing isn't an excuse)
    We've got plenty of money, it's just we've chosen not to spend it (or should I say Wenger), that's where the problem is. The article once again deflects from the real problems, a manager who just won't do the necessary and time and time again wastes money on cheap options (spending on 4-5 lesser players in some cases rather than using that to sign world class players).

    In addition, the clubs with money can only sign so many players, there's plenty for everyone, most of the time we sit there and wait like jackasses for "the market to move" because "we're in a waiting period" or "we only look for players better than we have", clubs who want to get better get their business done as early and quickly as possible, we just sit there.

    We've got two billionaire's who own us and yet somehow unlike other clubs they don't seem to want to spend, seems to me they came to the club learnt how it works and cottoned on that not spending is the best way forward rather than going on a spree like the other billionaires.

    In addition Leicester have a small squad and overall a weaker squad than us, so they shouldn't be competing for that reason, with our resources and our lack of success over the years we should also be very hungry to win, you get the feeling we're not 99% of the time when we walk on the pitch. Ah but wait let's not forget we're already winners, 4th place winners and that's just as good as the CL or League, so let's not be disappointed and pat ourselves on the back for our trophy cabinet full of imaginary 4th placed trophies.
