WENGERS CLASS!

Cracking open letter from Arsene Wenger to a fan in todays paper!

" You had a Champions League Final and only one team has beaten both of them and that is Arsenal."

Titles are won by spending millions on players like Fedinand, Rooney, Nani and Berbatov.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
That helps but tiltes are won more by players like Vidic, Evra, Park, Fletcher, VDS, Henandez

The biggest transfer of all of these was £7m for Vidic, oh how Arsenal fans would give their left nut to have Vidic in their back four .

Put it this way if we'd had been able to spend enough on one leg of Rio and had a defence and had the cash to have a striker that could cover for Van Persie....we'd have won the lot.

--------------------------------------------------------

But City, Liverpool, Villa, Spurs and Chelsea all have a higher net spend than United since the birth of the PL and none of them have dominated.

You haven't spent not because you don't have the money, but because Wenger is afraid of underachieving and therefore has an excuse and the Shareholders did not previously want to invest.

You can sit there and stagnate as a business or you can invest a little to get a better return. It's standard business logic.

Arsenal want to be a big team but act like a little one in the business sense. Don't be fooled though that once the stadium debt is paid off, you will suddenly spend massively and become successful, It won't happen.

Your best option is for Kroenke to hopefully buy out Ushmanov and then work on marketing Arsenal FA abroad. It's the only way to increase revenue. You've failed to do that up to now and that is the real reason you are getting left behind now. Arsenal FC can't be successful until they become a global corporate monster. Football has changed, stop living in the 80s and early 90s.

Don't know you laughed at my "acquired debt aside" comment. It's a mortgage that our owners took out to buy our club. Just like the mortgage you have on your ground. Both are being paid off. What's the problem?

What do you mean if? I thought you were rolling in the money. record profits, good financially run club, record levels of turnover. Just where is all this money going. Are you telling me every single penny of it is going into the stadium repayments? Where is this money going?

To the Shareholders....if you ever ask the Arsenal fans though the shareholders loved the club and never took any money!

Of course we know their wage bill and running costs are high. Add to that average success in the CL and PL and lack of trophy wins knocking down their income and you'll see it's the fans and corporate's paying through the nose who are really keeping the club afloat!

They are a wannabe Barcelona with no identity or vision themselves. They believe that they can take youth and turn it into brilliance. In reality, it's only really Henry and Fabregas whom they made into great players. The also rans run into a pretty long list!

They don't understand the benefit of blending youth and experience. Hence why the likes of Birmingham took a trophy right out of their hands!

By the way OP do you mean "WENGERS CLASS" as in he is a teacher and has a "class".

Or do you mean "WENGER'S CLASS" as in he IS class?

Either way I suggest you return to the classroom and continue your lines on the blackboard.

Vintage Arsenal, aka whatnext is a serial wum who can be traced back to the old 606

There's a WUM and then there's a PLUM. WhatNext/Vintage Arsenal falls into the second category. His attempts are extremely poor!
