Arsène Wenger:

🗣️ “There was a time we had £90 million turnover and we had to pay back £22 million per year for the stadium. I couldn’t sleep because we had to qualify for the Champions League to pay back the money.”

🗣️ “We had to sell our best players. Other clubs came in with lots of money but we were on the same level from 2007 to 2016.”

This is why so many Arsenal fans will forever defend Wenger.

While rivals were spending freely, Arsenal were carrying the weight of the Emirates project. Every summer meant losing key players and finding ways to remain competitive enough to secure Champions League football.

🔴 Sold stars
🔴 Balanced the books
🔴 Built a world-class stadium
🔴 Kept Arsenal among Europe’s elite

Wenger didn't just manage Arsenal through that era. He carried the club through one of the most difficult financial periods in its history.

The trophies are part of his legacy. But so is the fact that Arsenal emerged from that period stronger, financially stable and ready to compete again.

Arsène Wenger was talking about “financial doping” years ago.

He was mocked, dismissed and accused of being bitter because Arsenal weren’t winning anymore.

Now Manchester City have been found guilty of the vast majority of the Premier League’s financial charges.

I hope the apologies are as loud as the disrespect was back then.

Without Wenger's sacrifices, there is no Arsenal of today.

@nickmangwana @JNkomoJnr @advocatemahere I like the sound of this and can’t wait. Hope you are not a false prophet. In fact, I hope you are a true prophet

Could have just said no, but didn’t?

Rob Harris asked Pep Guardiola in 2019 whether he had separate payments from Abu Dhabi

[Adam Keys @adamkeys_]

Pep Guardiola inherited a team with De Bruyne, David Silva, Kompany, Sterling and Aguero, and still spent €500m in his first two seasons. For context, in his first 18 months, he spent as much as Arsene Wenger did in 21 years. That’s what £900m of artificial revenue allowed.

[Pranav @Wilsharma]

Oh now you are empathizing with Wenger and his quotes ?
He was literally crying for help the whole time and everyone ignored him.

[Chris Wheatley @ChrisWheatley]

Arsene Wenger on Manchester City's £400m sponsorship deal with Etihad Airways in 2011:

"It raises the real question about the credibility of the financial fair play.

"That is what this is all about. They give us the message that they can get around it by doing what they want. It means financial fair play will not come in. It is as simple as that. I can understand how they do it but it raises the real question. The difficulty and the credibility of the financial fair play is at stake.

"Plus, if the financial fair play is to have a chance, the sponsorship has to be at the market price. It cannot be doubled, tripled or quadrupled because that means it is better that we don't do it and we leave everybody free. That can be defended as well, but if they bring the rules in they have to be respected."

Building a stadium literally from scratch, paying off the debt, selling your best players every summer - and STILL keeping it in the Top 4 for 20 straight years.

Pep and his Manchester City managers would tear ACL 🤕

Arsène Wenger did it with elegance.

[FK @fkhanage]

NEVER forget what side of history you stood on. Arsène was a football purist who always tried to do things the right way. He got battered for it. Always stand up for what you believe in. That’s why he’s the GOAT.

@cyberJulesvx @WelBeast Who cares its a corrupt competition anyways and the evidence is there. They allowed Barcelona to buy refs and cheat , they are not credible and neither is that competition

[Wata kaMpofu @wata_nicholas]

@Dave_Tula @WelBeast Facts only

[Wata kaMpofu @wata_nicholas]

@elsanteocho @FullTimeTripp The GOAT 🐐

[V @TheRetroVay]

Fought against the Frauds Man City
Fought against Alex Ferguson’s biased refs
Fought against Chelsea’s unlimited spending
Fought against his own board when ambition was lacking and money was extremely limited

He built the entire club brick by brick. ❤️

@mo_the_bull @jamiuxxvi @MizelLatwifu We are talking about the whole league here which comprises of 20 teams not just 1 team. PSG did that but how did other French teams fair ? See thats where u lot drop the ball, arguing for 1 or 2 teams in a discussion involving 20 teams. Epl has 10 teams that can make top 4.

[Wata kaMpofu @wata_nicholas]

@jamiuxxvi @OnyChr2022 The most corrupt football club on earth, wouldn't be surprised if they paid journalists to vote for their players and winning ballon is not a measure of anything brotherman, its just a popularity contest. Not that deep.

[Wata kaMpofu @wata_nicholas]

@jamiuxxvi @MizelLatwifu Not gonna change fact that la liga is a farmers league. Cr7 used to score 20 goals per season in epl and went over there started scoring 60 per season 😂,that league is full of stat padders, weak opposition and corruption all over. EPL as a competion is levels above

[Wata kaMpofu @wata_nicholas]

@Jakewat87497816 @meghanncuniff But they already have the killers who confessed to doing it , can’t blame the juror

[Wata kaMpofu @wata_nicholas]

@Oye440 Kai Havetz is a better footballer than he is, the team gets way more from Kai than from him so I dont understand wut the issue is, Kai won't play all the games so Gyokores should stayed prepared to prove to us and manager why he should be first pick.
