    and it's a model of sustainability for the next set of billionaire owner that take over the club. a template of how to run it at a minimum but still rake it in.

    Genuine question....

    No. This is the first time I've felt we genuinely have had money to spend. The other years. I don't think we did, gazidas confirmed it so was happy to defend wenger. If he doesn't spend this summer, there are no excuses.

    I think that's all of it, neatly wrapped up in one sentence. The last lot got out with what must rank as the one of the pay-offs of all time. Kroenke will want no less. He says he loves Wenger. I can see why. If I had half a billion quid to invest I'd want Wenger looking after it rather than some bankster prick. AND he's kept us fourth while the club has been transformed into a savings account. We have Kroenke, we have Usmanov - who if he was as desperate to invest as he tries to make out could just write a cheque to show his love, but that's not how rape works. If either of these mega powerful, mega rich men wanted to do an Abramovich they could. Just pick up the phone and order Wenger to spend some fucking money. But no, they are powerless to prevent Wenger building their investments.

    Exactly right, why are his words now any different to what he said before? Seems to me it's just another way of excusing the manager for his inadequacies in the transfer market.

    Seriously though. How to you jump straight from the finances thing to the Wenger bashing without any kind of analysis in-between?

And if he's only spend some money, he would push us into title winning form again I'm sure. He's a briliant football manager.
    Proofs in the pudding as they say and in the last 8 years there's been nothing brilliant about him, elementary errors all over the place and a level of stubborness never seen before in the world of football.

    He has spent some money, unfortunately it's also been badly spent on a failed youth scheme (which has cost us money as although we've received some money for some players, we've paid out huge amounts in wages over the years and have had to get rid of others for nothing), unknowns who just have been up to scratch and journeyman available on the cheap.

    That money could have been spent much more wisely on quality signings. It's all very good saying he's a brilliant football manager, but a manager is judged on results and the results haven't been good in a number of years, it's also been clear the team has been going backwards in terms of quality and style.

    I think he's done at top level management and not capable of out-thinking the managers out there right now.
