Match Reaction vs Liverpool (home).

[Bumble]

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.

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?

Wenger might not be a laughing stock (quite), but there is truth in the old Mourinho jibe that he has become a 'specialist in failure' - particularly if that phrase extends to the failure to exploit the club's full potential on the pitch.

...and as a club, AFC has become a byword for also-rans.

He's somehow become both. Respected AND a laughing stock. People will listen to what he has to say, and then laugh at what he does.
