Don't know if any of you saw Wenger speak to the media today but according to tv he said "funds were limited" could this be the board not giving him the amount of money he was promised.

No this is Wenger being typical and spineless. passing the buck to the board. Same stubborn old Frenchman . The best the team could reach is 4th which is enough to make Wenger happy.The club had cash surplus in 2011 of 115m, 122.3m in November 2013. This is before the new EPL deal and the new emirates deal.There is another deal with Puma starring 2014. A new sponsership with a Far East bookmakers on top of the money that comes with the Far East tour.In the region of 450-480k per week of the wages due to getting rid of the dead wood. I can understand not telling everyone you have 100m burning a hole in your pocket, but everyone knows Man city's owner is worth about 20 billion which doesn't stop them spending moneyThe same applies to Chelsea and utd. i'm afraid if he doesn't buy quality this year he never will.If no quality comes in the next 10 days then he(Wenger) will become disliked by more and more supporters. He is living off success from over 8 years ago.And I don't think he will change now. km

I read that he said that there wasn't as much available as everyone making out to be.

"The desire of the players to join us [makes me confident] and the fact that we have - maybe not as much as everyone writes - but we have some funds available to do the transfers."

So we don't have a £70Mil + war chest? Can any Eds clear this up? {Ed027's Note - we do

What a load of tosh he did not say that at all.
