"Well thats a good question and its one we have discussed at board level, football is all about narrow margins and fine lines and sadly while we have been paying for the stadium move and going through the debt reduction process of the move we have fallen on the negative side of these lines, however with Stans investment and the Highbury square sale now complete, combined with the new sponsorship deal we are confident we have more financial freedom and a sustainable model that will allow Arsene greater spending power should he wish to spend it, however he is Arsenals manager and all decision on players stay with him.
We have continued to be competitive and play brilliant football while spendind little and massively reducing the debt while managing player prospetcs like Woji and Wilshere, that shows the ability of the manager"
And that, my friends, is why tonight will be such a ponitless and empty exercise...
