    any biog is always skewed toward the person writing it - as anyone would.

    should have some interesting stories about his time here since the 90s.

    you'll read it. you just don't know it yet.

    Whereas i on the other hand think rightly that hes just as bad as the board.
    Don't think i have agreed with you so much, since i have come back seems to be alot.

    He should write a book about his time at Arsenal tbh

    I and im sure others dont give a fuck about him at Monaco or in Japan or his shite playing career before that.

    My brother will probably buy it so i'll probably read it. But i wont enjoy it

    Well maybe the 1996-2005 section

If someone said: 'tomorrow I'll flip a coin, if it's heads you get a lot of money. If it's tails you get nothing' then fair enough...wait to see what happens. That's not how I understand a near billion dollar (sorry for the Americanism) company to work. But I don't claim to know much about it anyway so I could be wrong.

    But, yes, if we are onto a lot of cash (or other clubs aren't) then maybe Wenget will think we're back to the 90s and early 00s and he might fancy his chances.
    Well, my fairly simple and possibly wrong conclusion is:

    We have been lagging behind commercially for a long long time after the stadium build
    Wenger and the board unite on Project Youth
    Project Youth does its job (kind of), Arsenal make a lot of money, but Wenger is restricted by the constant upheaval
    Project Youth has to continue in the background to make up the shortfall from a lack of commercial income
    Wenger and the board recognise the increasing competition and pitfalls of falling out of the CL places, and alter things
    Wenger is more liberal in his spending on 'experienced players' (you can probably call this at around 2009)
    This is offensive to Wenger's principles, as he dislikes the idea of spending on the likes of Santos and Arteta, but he rolls with what is necessary
    The board are getting loads of yanks on board to eventually exploit the commercial opportunities, and convince Wenger about a money-spinning tour
    Wenger spots the odd 'value gem' - Koscielny, Cazorla - as an aside from the meh players like Santos
    Arsenal wait until 2014 to try and open the treasure chest
    Will Wenget sign for the 'new era'?

    As I say, speculative. But merely dealing from the fact that Arsenal are very much lagging behind and are banking on maintaining the prestige of CL football in the next two years to get those deals in line with Man Utd (probably not) and the rest. So I wouldn't say it's especially certain.

    What a great story. Wenger should hire me as ghostwriter.

    "One day I shall write a book about..."

    "Maybe one day the story will be told..."

    "No. It is not true. One day you may know. I will perhaps write a book"

    Wenger "My Life At Home"


    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
