It's finished. Wenger succeeded a long time ago partly because we had fewer rivals. We are now at best the 4th richest team in England but that's on paper. In fact there may well be seven or eight teams prepared to spend more money on players than we are. It's the board's job to provide the money and leadership. They are happy with things as they are.

Unless we get big financial backing we will slip to the Europa League and stay there, if we don't fall out of the top six or seven altogether. There isn't a manager in the world who'll save us from that.
In short, spend some fúcking money?

It's a grubby business, and no mistake.
