In a T.V. interview yesterday Arsene Wenger was talking about respect. While saying that Xavi is not showing respect by talking about Csec Fabregas wanting to come to Barcalona, and that Xavi should show more respect to Arsenal football club. Then why is Arsene talking about Man City's new commercial deal when he will know absolutely nothing about what the deal entails. The only thing thta Arsene will know about the deal will be what he has read in the papers. As a matter of fact that is showing just as much disrespect if not more to Man City, Arsene if you talk about respect please remember it is a 2 way street. If you want to have respect shown to yourself or your club you have to show respect to that person or that club.
How do you know all arsene knows in what he read in the papers? For all you know he has indepth information about the deal and knows everything about it.... And it's fairly obvious Super rich owners - sudden mega sponsorship from a company owned by said super rich owners.....
Talking about players being tapped up by other 'professionals', Wenger has every right to play the respect card. Also given the fact that City are trying to circumvent the FFP rules with their stadium naming rights, again Wenger has every right to question whether City are respecting those rules
I suspect Arsene with his contacts knows more about the deal than what is in the papers. I have no idea whether it flouts the rules, but when I first read last weekend it was 150 mil, I thought fair enough as Arsenal's was 100 mil 5 years ago. As a layman 400 mil naming rights for a club that has only won one trophy since 1976, seems to be a bit strange.
what makes me laugh is the airline that is apparently providing the small sum of £400m hasnt made a single bit profit since they started operating!!!
Mrwright how do I know Arsene knows nothing about the deal, easy just ask him how many times an Arsenal player has been sent off, and his stock in trade answers is I did not see it , the decision was wrong the player never did anything wrong. Arsene wouldn't know how to tell the truth, just look at his attitude to Sammy Nasri wanting to leave, he is prepared to lose the club £20 million just to show who is the boss. The guy needs to grow up and stop acting like a big baby who throws his toys out of the pram when things don't go his way.
lots of fit and proper organisations who cannot seem to make a penny profit offer other organisations hundreds of millions for what? a normal commercial deal - my arse.
Bergkamp a Dutch master, then why not get your owners messers Kronke and Usmanov to put their own money into the club. They are only interested in taking out the dividends from the club. After all they haven't spent 1$ or a single Rouble of their own money on the Arseanal. If these business men can't go out and get better deals for the Arsenal then thats their fault, just because our chairman goses out and brings in a very good dea he l should be appaulded.
Why should Wenger be slated for condemning a very reprehensible approach to the financial management of a club? One which has already stripped the modern game of all normality, decency, and passion, producing players who are nothing more than robots, who play only because of the fact that they can line their pockets and think nothing of the club and tradition and hundreds of years of history. This can in no way be compared to the tapping up of a player by another club who clearly cannot afford to pay the transfer fee and who will go to any lengths to unsettle said player in order to get him to openly request a transfer and therefore be forced to leave, even though they don't have need of said player.
The so called deal will invole those areas around the ground, which is now nothing but waste lands. All of this will be developed into projects which will help the residents of East Manchester. Exactly what that will be has yet to be trashed out between the mangement of the club and the council of Manchester.
