Worried about the future

I'm 100% Wenger out tbh

Very true. The fundamental question is why does someone support a football team?

Most people support it coz of family or the location they live in. A lot who dont stay in England are probably glory hunters or people who just dont want to join the bandwagon of Utd/Chelsea/Real/Barca.

the way I read a lot of posts on this board (e.g., letters, gary) is that it isn't really about whether to support another team instead of Arsenal. It's that the endlessly frustrating experience of supporting Arsenal makes them less interested in football, period.

This summer can't be long enough - I couldn't wait for the season to end and I'm in no rush for next season at all.

I was the same. Desperate for the end of the Season, needed a break from all things Arsenal; however, I'd forgotten just how ridiculous Arsenal close-seasons are with players out etc so now I already can't wait until the end of the transfer window! Roll on next season!

I refuse to believe that Wenger simply doesn't spend the money. I believe that the move has impacted on our finances more than the ****ing board would have you believe. Add to that the concurrent rise of the Chav and Manc money whores and you have a serial recipe for the demise of this club. I'm scared of the future...I really am.

We should have enough for a single splurge of spending, but it feels/looks like we have some serious liquidity problems atm. Overall though, we're fucked in the long term if we don't have a good season next year and I just don't see that happening with clichy and nasri leaving this season.

think we are going to have a cracking season, win the league and the FA Cup........so thats enough about the Arsenal Ladies team now for the men........

the way we conduct business on the transfer market this year will have a lot of influence on our coming season,

how much we re-coup for our departures and how we invest that money is vital for success and confidence in the club at all levels

Tim Payton on Talksport explaining how we're financially fucked - long term, sports contracts that are about 20-40mill less than they should be. Unable to offer more in wages to retain stars, can only spend what we make and vunruble to any rich club picking off any player they wanted as long as this remains the case.

Seems like a vicious cycle of losing players, falling down the league, getting less money (through deals etc), charging the fans more, losing more players etc etc etc.

At the mo, totally agree, can see it happening. I really belive the glory days of the recent times are over.
