Re: I reckon Wenger jacks it in at the end of the season.
I don't think it really matters whether they have or have not 'spent much', because either scenario reflects poorly on Wenger and his project.
If they have indeed spent, then what has it bought? Certainly not success. If not, then why not? I think the supporters trust has every right to ask these questions after 6 years, unless AW believes he should be the only manager in world football not to have to answer for his decisions at all. Thing is, I think that's exactly what he believes, and he's not going to like the alternative. Truth is, since 1996 Arsenal are the 7th most successful club in the country after United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Birmingham and Portsmouth. Assuming they don't win the league, after the cup final they will be 8th. Anyone should have to answer for that. |

For simplicity purposes however, I used it in reference to finishing first in any of the four major club competitions in which the Premier clubs compete, which, for a team widely considered in the top three in the land, is not unrealistic I think. |

i was just using a more realistic measure than saying Portsmouth are better than Arsenal because they won the FA Cup |

Arsenal are a club far more interested in money than silverware during the period in which they pay off their stadium. Winning a trophy by over extending themselves financially makes no sense. Wenger makes mistakes in his signings, but then who hasn't had a number of expensive flops over 15 years? The only constant Arsenal give a £#%&! about is CL qualification & the millions that brings in. Is there a definitive date for when their debt will be paid off ? Will Kroenke clear it a la Abramovich & give them £50m to spend ? I suspect that's highly unlikely, but at some point if they want to become a Utd / Bayern / Barca / Milan / Madrid they will need to have players with status & trophies. Success breeds success & all that. As it stands, they are conservatively getting through the mire of debt & Wenger has done a great job in that respect, imo. |

Fabregas won't be happy to stay around until the debt is cleared I imagine and, with other clubs catching up all the time, isnt it a bit of a risky game to play? |

As an aside, I think we are getting caught up in the difference between being competitive and being successful. |
