    You're not looking for anything but you picked one quote out of an article about something else and used that to make another stick to beat him with? Ok.

    It's just weird tabloid press stuff.
    I don't understand why some people act like he's an ex who dumped them in a callous way and now want to pick at anything and everything he says, even if they agree with it
    It's just bizarre, irrational behaviour and it doesn't add anything to debate.

    It's not really a bold statement, it's just saying that his majority shareholder ship has no bearing on how well we perform financially.


    I don't know about you but i still want to have a breakdown of what services are provided by KSE that justify the £3million per year, who knows we might be getting a bargain from them but the clandestine nature of it is suspicious.

    It's from his press conference this morning, he specifically talked about two different markets

    "On the whole transfer market there is very little happening because of the availability of players. You can play huge amounts of money for average players - there are plenty of those - but to find the ones who will strengthen your squad, that is more difficult."

    "I can reassure people we're ready to spend the money we have," Wenger said.

    "It's important to spend money but more important to spend it the right way. There are two markets, one for English clubs, one for the rest of Europe."
    Always whingeing about money, there are loads of players we could have signed this summer, which other clubs have signed, once again we go through a whole summer with barely anyone new, that his fault not the market, not the clubs, not the pope, his excuses are total and utter BS tbh.

    What's bizarre and irrational is the way you go out of your way to defend the guy, god knows why.

    Huh? It's a small article and the majority of the quotes in it are him talking about having to be cautious because of the wealth of English clubs. I paraphrased the headline yes but I didn't have to look for anything.

    There have been plenty of owners that come along and ruined a club. Liverpool's former owners, Newcastle, Villa, Blackburn....

    Besides the clubs that make a lot of noise in the transfer window, I'll be honest, I don't really know much about how other clubs are run compared to us.

    I am less concerned about how other owners do their business, i think it's fair to say we aren't the only club with a toxic owner....it doesn't make it any less concerning though.

    What does that link mean? I don't understand how things work with American football. They have a draft and salary cap system so it doesn't translate to football over here easily. I've heard about him moving the Rams to LA a while back but I also read that having that franchise in St Louis was doing more harm to the city than good because it was a financial drain being paid for by the public.

    I found a quick link for you to read.

    Yes i have heard that argument, the same argument was that it was due to poor turn out at the stadium which the fans say was because of the lack of investment by Kroenke.

    Let's not pretend though that saving the taxpayer money was on Kroenke's mind, the point was to illustrate that we have an owner who is more than willing to shaft fans.
