We need a sugar daddy to compete.

[AKBapologist]

And whose fault is that?

Wenger says signing quality and experienced players will "kill" his youngsters. A sugar-daddy won't change that if the manager isn't willing to spend and buy and buy well where and where necessary!

So wanting a sugar-daddy is one thing; NEEDING one to compete (as club of our stature) is bollocks.

Same retarded crap arguing a point that has little to do with the bottom line...

If want to change aspirations at the club, you'll need a sugar daddy. Someone with a signaleur vision, with lower tolerance for mediocrity and with the resources to fully support whatever manager we had at the club, whether that be AW or otherwise.

You keep on talking about how bad AW is as a manager, but when poorer managers can do better than we can with unlimited resources, you've got to wonder.

thats more to do with the wage structure. most fans despise the amounts these mugs earn so why shouldn't a club and/or manager make an issue of it and not just cave in

But they have no reservations paying unproven and untested kids ridiculous sums just based on potential? That is what most fans also have issue with. Where is the sense in paying someone like bendtner all those sums the past half a decade for just his potential only to get nothing in return. I am no economics expert but that is stupid.

That's alright. Neither is Syn.

your moronic lines of logic are actually starting to grate.

do you even know what a sugar-daddy means?

We need someone with an A level in economics tbh.

When managers like SAF who know the value of keeping there stars, paying market rates for talent and getting players in who'd improve the squad independent of cost (and offering wages of +200K) whilst being rewarded for it with titles; proving this shit beyond doubt season after season... The choice we as fans have to make is whether we're satisfied with just CL qualification and a moral superiority complex or whether we want to win stuff.

To be honest, the ticket price rise made up my mind.

investment in youth in line with the general policy. right or wrong, that's the way it's been but gladly they are not pay 200k etc for any

We need to do it this way as we can't afford to compete with the sugar-daddy backed clubs.

There is nothing weirder than those that slate our ambition and our youth policy in the same breath (don't think anyone here has done so in this thread but it happens a lot...), it's as if they don't understand the power of money in the modern game.

If you need something a little more substantial budesonside, We've got a decent goal return and we'll get a decent transfer fee for Bendtner, we've got something out of him footballistically AND financially, that's decent economic sense imo.

Reading through this thread, AKB apologist wants an owner that is a sugar daddy who:

-Spends hundreds of millions on players
-Pays our marquee players (the likes of Yaya) in excess of £200m per week
-Doesn't interfere like Abramovich
-Isn't passive like Kroenke
-Isn't of morally dubious persuasion like Usmanov
-Needs to be incredibly handsome

OK, I made the last one up, but while we are living in fucking la la land, could we change the last point to the owner being a gorgeous nymphomaniac blonde with big tits?

We got something out of him? Really? Anything that made us competitive as a top club? I don't think so -- but that is your opinion. According to wenger he does not buy BECAUSE doing so will kill' the likes of bendtner,diaby,denilson etc. When thse players have bid their goodbyes after not being "killed" by AW, let's hope he actually buys and KEEPS HOLD of the quality and established players or "super super quality" players he chooses not to buy because of these so-called promising youngsters.


Brcelona haven't got a sugar-daddy, but they compete to win things and do win things. They also employ a youth policy --- a very good one at that --- but do break the bank to buy where necessary to make sure that they stay at the very top. And guess what, they do stay there or have for sometime now.

There is a balance to be had.
