Match Reaction v West Brom (home) 15/16

[Özim]

You think money is any way a motivating factor for Wenger?

Look at the suits he wears, this doesn't come across to me like a man who checks his bank balance very often

Whilst of course it suits him to be at a club where he is under anything like the pressure he should be (which you can't blame him for as such because if your bosses expect nothing from you how much you going to give of yourself).

Whilst failure is acceptable it makes it easier for him to prevaricate over signings.

I think he's being Arsenaltutionalised, he's been here so long he knows nothing else now and isn't likely to retire to take up golf.

I don't mean that should elicit sympathy, he's showing the same hubris as Margaret Thatcher did near the end and it seems clear that if not now than Wengers 1990 movement is fast approaching.

If someone gave him £100 million he'd hand it back, if someone hands him a pay rise every other year however, he doesn't hand it back. Interesting for a man who doesn't care about money at all, if he didn't care at all then he wouldn't be on 8 million a year tbh.

I'm not saying it's his sole motivation btw, just that it's a myth that he doesn't care about money, you don't end up earning that much if money is irrelevant to you.
