Putting the laughter back into manslaughter

I don't absolve them, they're happy with the situation, all they care about is money, unfortunately that goes for Wenger too, he doesn't have the pride to do all he can in his power to succeed, he's happy enough coming 2nd/3rd/4th every season, a sad indictment of the man, he has zero ambition and zeron hunger to cement his legacy by proving he's a winner and a top manager, it's all too apparent he isn't, economics is clearly his forte.
Is economics really his forte though? Unless they plan siphoning that bank account, leaving money lying around unspent in a hyper inflating market is not smart economics. On the other hand, I suppose boosting the balance sheet so Stan can use Arsenal as gold plated collateral is a smart enough move if you are a con artist only involved with sport for one reason. So Wenger's not really a football economist, he seems to be a bit of an idiot in that respect, but he's a decent enough fund manager. Lots of growth for his shareholders. Well done. No wonder they want him here forever.
Für eure Sicherheit
Fair point, maybe fund manager is more appropriate, the professor isn't so smart after all, it was all an illusion, but he does speak about 6000 languages, maybe so he can make sure he can make bids under the market rate and insult selling clubs by doing so in their own language.
In reality he's becoming the laughing stock of the football world but either he doesn't see it or he doesn't care.
No he isn't a laughing stock. He is a genius. he has managed to earn £7/8m a year to finish 4th. The board are happy with what he does. He makes a lot of money for arsenal. Most of the fans are still content as we win most of our games and do most things pretty well.
In the world you will find probably only a handful a clubs wouldn't want to swap places with Arsenal.
What is wrong with making a lower bid... no one forces the club to sell a contracted player if they don't want to. Do you not shop at Lidl or Aldi then and prefer Waitrose as somewhere down the line someone is getting fleeced to be able to charge lower prices?
Still makes me laugh when his salary keeps getting brought up. I mean seriously, who gives a fuck? In a game where players and managers are earning ridiculous money, at what point does a mult-million pound contract become unacceptable for the actual job they are performing? It's all obscene, so by all means increase his salary, add a zero to the right of the figure for all I care.
7 million a year though!? I can't believe he's paid 8 million a year. There's no way that cunt earns that 9 million a year.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
He's a laughing stock I'm afraid, everytime he has an interview he's pretty much embarasses himself, a genius he certainly isn't. Yes he has managed to make a mint of the back of the fans you're right, that's thanks to manipulating himself into a position of power where he has people believing he's irreplaceable and of course making a shedload of money for those above him.
Incidentally I couldn't care less how much he earns, problem is more that I think he's doing a lousy job.
Nothing wrong with making lower bids, but there is when they never get anywhere making lower bids, at some point you have to use some intelligence and realise you should bid a bit more, maybe closer to the going rate?
