Wenger and the Board at Loggerheads

Makes perfect sense.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenger.

Always rated him tbf.

[Power n Glory]

This story makes no sense.

Before we can talk to a player about wages, we’ve got to first agree on a transfer fee. In most cases, we’re not even making past that stage. If we had deals where a fee was agreed by the two clubs but all of a sudden talks broke down because we couldn’t agree terms with a player, that would make more sense.

Also, Wenger’s actions line up with his words. He has faith in certain players and won’t buy expensive back up players because he wants to give the young players a chance. If he wants to up the wage bill, who for? So he can keep certain players looking for the exit? That won’t work for all of the players. The ambitious players want to see experienced quality players coming in to help the team. Paying out higher wages to certain players is just papering over the cracks.

bullshit spin TBH

Wenger would leave if things did not go his way, end of.

What is that assertion based on? He has a contract and he's always honoured his contracts.

[Grebbo]

Sounds like a load of tosh to me.

Cesc didn't leave because of wages. I even dare say Nasri is leaving mainly for success and not wages.

Our wage bill is massive.

Spurs have Modric, VDV, Bale etc all on £60k per week - we pay that to Bendtner.

Arsene Wenger has spent £25m on two players this summer and neither of them are a defender. It's all his fault.

[KSE Comedy Club]

All I could make out of that was:

blah, blah, blah, wenger doesnt think Cahill is better than Koscielny....

Which is fucking laughable

[RomfordPele]

Usmanov spin, no?

[Niall_Quinn]

Usmanov spin, no?

If it is then it is further demonstration of why this guy should be kept out of the club. If he's prepared to destabilise the ship on the eve of possibly our most important game for years then it shows his interests lie not in the fate of Arsenal but instead control of Arsenal. But I hear why you are saying, the next big outcry from the fans could well be Stan out, Russian mobster in.

So you'd rather have a billionaire owner in Stan who knows nothing about football and isn't injecting any of his own cash into the club? Or fatty who pays for a box at the club and is a fan who'd put his own money into the club?

Usmanov is without doubt a shady character but do you think Stan got that rich from playing by the rules? Nah.
