Either way, like 90% of Arsenals profits over the last few years have come from selling players haven't they? Sure I read that the other day. Wenger will have a job for life. Which board would want to sack the guy that's making them £50m a year?Too risky to be confident with 3 newcomers, Song gone, and no one knowing what Jack would play like. You were potentially looking at a title challenging team with him. He's 31 no big loss if he leaves on a free.
Selling Van Persie has demoralized the fanbase and diminished the brand.
Can't remember who it was, someone on the board, but the quote was something like 'When Wenger decides to hang up his boots' (with regards to Arsenal) which would suggest Arsene has a job for life.
