Profit before transfers. Confirmed.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Im sure we made more then 5 mill for cesc ?

should have explained it better, meant made 5 million after taking 20 million out for profit. (i think whole transfer was 25 million)

[Coney]

No? Aren't the sections in quote marks 'quotes'?

Where it says "the Frenchman has also revealed he is under pressure to deliver £15m-£20m in profit for the club through transfers each year" - he is not quoted as saying that. He is quoted as saying there should be a profit for the club but he does not specify where that profit should come from.

Shows where the priorities of this club lie.

More importantly we will never get Hazard, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, Hazard is out of our league finances wise the way we run the club.

restricted by the board

the amount of messages he's sent out over the past few months:

'if you sell nasri and cesc you cannot persuade people you are a top club'

'it would be stupid for us to drop points because we do not have a left back'

'need to make £20m a year'

add to that the fact we know the board restrict wages.

board needs to go.

cant wait for wengers book in 10 years time.

Wenger is the one who went to the board and told them to sell Cesc for a lower price than what we wanted.

Pretty much, they are complicit in this, I hate the notion of poor old Wenger having a hard time and being the scapegoat, the pr*ck earns 6 million a year FFS he's just as much part of this as the board.

Another 'fact' pulled out of his arse.

[Marc Overmars]

Vinegar is responsible for the maddening on the pitch capitulations, he's had years to address the problem and construct a team who have a grasp of the basic fundamentals. That doesn't take millions because plenty of lesser teams have got the better of us in games over the last few years.

However I think the board are probably the reason why we can't/won't compete in the transfer market for top names.
