If you look at this list and you still think wenger is holding us back, then you need help. What wenger is doing is beyond belief.
Add this list which shows we spent less than anyone on our team during the past few years, to the other list i showed few days ago which demonstrated how our rivals revenues is increasing while ours have decreased.

Can you see us spending more money anytime soon? We starves us to death yet our revenues have gone down, if you refuse to eat in an attempt to lose weight and you still gain weight, most of you would realise it isn’t working ( maybe not the anti wenger crew). Our current business model will not make us competitive in 1 years, 4 year our 10 years time. Forget that nonsense.
We’re doomed, wenger is holding this ship together, we’ve built a house of cards and we’re about to witness the collapse. If your answer is sack wenger then don’t worry even wenger cant pull this off for much longer, this is unsustainable. We can’t invest so little on our team and expect trophies or even champions league.

impressive table.
of course you do know you ahev to factor in wages as well. I am sure that would lift us right up the table.
Randome pretence that I am too cool to be interested in football this team and all this stuff: "The radishes in Indonesia cope with space exploration better than German Bight chaffinches"
It simply suggests we sold well, or sold lots, in order to balance figures within the business model.
A further table of expenditure only (player sigings) would probably not see us in 20th position.
and large hit the ceiling at the moment. They have gone up next to nothing (in the grand scheme of the accounts) in the period from 2006 to 2011.
The only way we will be able to compete, as I said on your last thread, is if we realise the potential £35M that we are short of the likes of United/Chelsea on shirt/sponsorship deals. If we could then not tie ourself into an exclusive deal (like the current emirates deal) we would have scope to have a different sponsor on our training kit (which could generate another £5/£10M per year).
We will know a lot more about our club, and it's ambition, in the next 2 years once the current deals are renewed.
we've spent some fairly big amounts on quite a few players. Just been offset by getting bigger amounts in.
