We need a sugar daddy to compete.

[Power n Glory]

Wenger wouldn't be able to cope with the type of problems Mancini and Ancelotti had. He wouldn't be able to manage the big egos and wouldn't accept the owner interfering with his work. A Sugar Daddy would be like handing the guy a rope to hang himself with. It's a silly thread and hasn't really been thought through.

And if we had an owner who didn't put up with that crap and demanded more, he's be gone. Why are you making this false argument, regurgitating GB's point about how this is all the managers fault?

Stop confusing the voices in your head with the point I've been clearly making.

It's starting to piss me off.

You think that "marquee" players such as Yaya Toure should be on that amount? Then i am even more glad we dont have someone at the top sanctioning such moves and a manager who can keep us in the top 4 without joining such stupidity.

Ok, so now AW is a hero. Make up your minds. Are you happy with CL qualification or do you want to win stuff?

Totally mental.

Where did I say I didn't want the manager to be changed?

I'm not a free market fundimentalist, but I have to accept that this is the system that the football is based around. A player is worth however much a team wants to pay for him. Given teams are paying a certain amount, the question of "should" is irrelevant or at best, philosophical.

Abramovich has spunked +700mill into chelsea, City around 500mill they won't be getting that back in there life time even if they decided to stop spending tomorrow - which they won't.

this is abramovichs hobby, a personal fantasy to win the cl and live out his dream. he turned his debt into equity which will probably mean clawing that back through dividends and capital gains

and the city situation is completely unique to anyone else, pretty much in any sport.

You certainly need an owner to change manager, so please sit down and shut up.

Eh?

why then have we got a board of directors? So companies without a single wealthy owner cannot tell their lower management to shape up or gtfo?

The going rates for marquee players in this league is about 200k-250k per week.

And LOL at LDG using the most overrated players in the league as an argument for anything.

Well what is your argument??? You haven't actually put one accross. You've just said we need a sugar daddy. And used Yaya Toure as an example.

You forget that in City's sugar daddy time, they have also bought absolute dogshite players for extortionate amounts, who have done jack shit for them.

We stuffed city at their gaff. And were all over them at ours. So why is it that they finished above us?? It certainly wasn't about money....it wasn't that their team had more quality...it was because we tripped over our arse, capitulated as per normal, and threw away needless points.

EVERYONE on this thread is saying the same thing to you. Whilst we could use some cash being spent in the RIGHT areas, we don't NEED to lavishly spend 250mil.

What we NEED, is for our manager to wake up and smell the fucking stink he has created, and rectify it.

We all KNOW Wenger is a decent manager. But we KNOW he has been given leave to try and build a team from scratch partly out of necessity, but also with good intention. Now that it has been proved over the last three years that it hasn't worked, he is being asked to sort the fucker out.

Practically no gooner wants our club to be fake. They just want their manager to get his head out of his fucking arse. Money has nothing to do with it.

Our board of directors are too busy selling out to Kronke and telling the fans that there either stupid or ungrateful. What are they doing to do anything about "lower management?"
