To Frandad,

Re your earlier question.

You asked me if the papers talk about our lack of investment in our playing squad.

Yes mate they do, all the time.

Every time you pick up a paper, especially during/after a transfer window, the tabloids are very quick to highlight Wenger's lack of spending over the years, especially now we have "money in the bank".

As you said, and I biasly agree with you, we are possibly/probably/arguably, the best run club in the prem.

As a staunch Gooner, am I happy with this?
Yes and no.

Years ago the landscape of football changed forever, and not for the good, with the arrival of Roman Abramovich and than the oil rich consortium who threw their money into Man City.

We couldn't compete with them on a financial basis, despite having Usmanov and Stan Kroenke sitting in our boardroom (one of them is actually not a board member), so we generated extra monies by moving from Highbury to The Emirates, thus guaranteeing an extra 20,000 bums on seats per home game.

The move cost approx £400m.
This was paid for by the selling of Highbury, financial backing/investment from corporate groups, company sponsorships and bank debts.

To help pay for this, we sold big players.
Some were coming to the end if their careers, Henry, Pires, Ljungberg, but also the likes of Cole and Fabregas.

We weren't happy but we understood and the blow was always softened by constant qualification of CL football, which in turn, generated more much needed income.

Now, The Emirates is paid for, Wenger has had more money to spend, hence £42m Ozil and £35m Sanchez.

But, Wenger still needs to invest, especially a DM and striker.

To answer your question, yes mate, I think the tabloids give Wenger stick, with regards to his lack of squad investment, than any other manager.

All I know if Wenger took over our club management we would be in a lot better position.

No rumour, more an "I wonder/I wish. "

Tesco have just cashed in by selling their S.Korea chain for around £4bn cash in an attempt to shore up their UK holdings and pay off debt.

Time for Bill to go fund finding in his friends pockets and perhaps finally uncover enough pocket change down the back of Tescos sofa to buy us a new Stadium.
