Not your favorite of the rags but what the heck...
This is the sort of mentality that probably bugs most supporters but I'm pretty sure the suits upstairs love him. I don't think the original Board members had envisioned selling off their shares when the stadium plans were drawn up. I'm not that cynical. I don't think that was the original intention. You seem to think they had sinister motives, so you tell me.'I have always worked in clubs who make money, and I would not feel that I do my job well if we lost money at the end of the season - never, no matter what happens on the sporting side - because you put the club in trouble and, in my opinion, that cannot be accepted from any manager.'
Year on year profit that wasn't invested back into the squad. We sat on the money make the club finances look healthier, or so I suspect. That shouldn't be his job and when I see the sort of transfer inaction as we've seen this year, it makes me even more suspicious. Where's his head at?
This is a very long winded debate but to wrap up, Wenger isn't naive. Once when addressing a shareholders meeting, his sharp tongue told them they should be the least disgruntled group because of our financial performance. He can see the connection. He's not just an employee and from the quoted comments, you can see this is a part of his philosophy.
