and for what? when he leaves arsenal, all the money he saved
will be used up by the next manager and nobody will thank him for
it.
instead they will remember it as the miser who cost arsenal
titles due to his pride or sth.
its ok to depend on his youth, but when money is running around
now in the epl and every club spending millions, its quite
different from the 92 man utd team that was mostly youths too.
The thing i guess is... unlike their previous CEO Dein. The
Arsenal board of directors are only interested on their yearly big
payday... They are not interested on spending big money on
players... And i sincerely doubt they are even interested in
football or seriously keen on winning the titles... These
are businessmen who are only interested in the money
and winning comes in second.
From how i look at it, over the years... They have approved and
sold their best players if the money was right... This isn't a
club thats going for titles... Making profits are their main
objective... By next year, their turnover could be as high or
higher than Real Madrid after the Tv rights deal come into
effect...
The directors are waiting eagerly to milk their
club's profits that they actually made a pack not to sell now
cos the returns could be more in 2 to 3 yrs time... And of course,
better not to spend on players now when they may sell in a year or
2 time or their profits could be lesser...
