if thats correct, what the fuck are hill wood, kronke and usmanov doing to our club. fucking ****s
They paid 5 million for Cesc?

Barca didnt pay the entire fee upfront but from what I recall reading, it was around the 18 million quid that they paid up front. Add to that the 20 million for the lesbian. Plus the TV deals, CL money and 3 million/home game... Let's not forget the profits we had made earlier from Ade, Toure, Clichy, Hleb etc.

I just do not see how the board can be blamed alone for holding up cash when Arsene is nodding his head in agreement to what they are giving him! Look at SAF.. that guy didnt take any shit and always got the players he wanted. If he didnt, I am sure he wouldve quit Utd and not laze around destroying his legacy like AW. Its very simple, if the board is not giving funds and helping the football club, Arsene should quit... unfortunately he hasnt and has been a mouthpiece for the board. While I can understand boardroom ****s to be greedy and leeching off the club, I cannot for one second tolerate a top level football manager like AW standing for shit like that.
