Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
What pressure from who?
With the TV deal, the reliance on full houses (which they'll probably get anyway) is less than ever.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
That’s the thought process that humbled Serie A. If fans started walking away from the stadium so would the corporate sponsors. Clubs can’t get too dependent on the TV money because those contracts won’t last forever and if that’s there only source of income, we could be looking at a Serie A situation. It’s similar to the foreign investment argument that sparked FFP. Imagine if the sponsorship money slowed up and clubs started neglecting the fans and stadiums? Brands follow the consumers and I can’t see sponsors coughing up more money for renewals if attendance figures start dropping.
I also think empty stadiums don't paint a great picture of the game on television, TV wants full stadiums for atmosphere and appearances, emtpy stadiums will make it look like a club isn't popular and make it less attractive to pay for.

Not only did he miss the head, he missed the rest of me too.It's not really though, is it letters. From what I've read of both of your posts recently, NQ couldn't have hit the head more accurately if he tried
Deliberately, though.
Pressure is a good thing but that is not going to come about because we finish below Spurs.
Have you seen the mood on this place? You think us hauling ourselves above the Spuds will placate people? Balls, will it.
Sod finishing below them, if we can finish above them then let's.
I am indifferent to finishing above Spurs because it is not a real achievement of any sort, but i also agree that finishing below them won't make any difference to the pressure Wenger is under....he is under none now and he will be under none if we finish below them.
You know that keeping on saying something which isn't true doesn't make it true, right?
It's not and never has been an achievement.
But they're our local rivals, so why wouldn't you want one up on them so to speak? It's just a bit of fun. The game has really gone to the dogs if the tribal nature of the fans has been stripped away too.
