We had no 'owner' until last year when Usmanov sold up last year, ffs! We have never been 'bankrolled' and have always had to operate using only what's on our balance sheet. Given which, the only way for us to access more funds would have been by running on debt.
All of which, of course, supports my point. Wenger never had the money to spend that his rivals did.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Wenger was a master of implementing a good scouting network. A blue print for others to follow and they did with more money. He was not a master of spending big and not one for developing youth.
So what next?
He kept us ticking along but with a combination of transfer restrictions and his own limitations, what were we really capable of achieving?
