Socialist Wenger?

Anyone notice how his stance on money and the economy changes when Arsenal's sky high ticket prices are mentioned? How can such an supposedly intelligent man flip flop on an important issue whenever it suits him and still be considered righteous by most?http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/10164068/arsenal-have-no-issues-with-ticket-prices-says-arsene-wenger

If that's not bad enough after forcing us to endure years of Almunia, Fabianski and Wojiech he thought he'd share some wisdom with us about how important having a top keeper is

wenger needs to be concentrating on football, unless you are winning everything then theres no reason for a manager to concentrate on anything else

You can still be a socialist if you're rich.
--------------------------

Not really. Contradiction in terms. Socialism core is common ownership. Whereas accumulation of wealth, capitalism, is the opposite to that. There are some who call themselves champagne socialists. Just a contradictory ideology created by those who inherited wealth but prefer to discuss politics in pubs than admit to their heritage.

If you're an Arsenal fan who's never been and will probably never go to the Emirates, then I imagine you would support Wenger's stance on ticket prices.

Disappointed with Wenger on this. But didn't expect much anyway. Arsenal fans are mugs though for never doing enough to protest this price

"Long before the tech companies changed thinking where the employees "

this is the biggest myth around

when tech companies don't hit numbers or can't find another round of financing, staff get sacked on sight and all the 'nice' perks get thrown unceremoniously tossed in the bin.

then usually everyone gets sacked without a package as the whole thing fails.

It's basically spending financiers cash on luxury until the business fails (like nearly every startup does).

Why does Wenger have to do it? Whether it is Klopp (who is having a nightmare at Liverpool) or Pep (the best manager in the world.) they openly back the fans and in Liverpool's case against the wishes of the owners. If anything Wenger thinks he can over ride the wishes of the fans which is folly. Kroenke's know from their other franchises. Fans are the bottom line. Not managers.

Wenger is a stuck up horrible arrogant fecker who couldn't give 2 fecks about the fans he should be stoned to death with 1 pence pieces knowing him he'll lean down to pick the up the r3tard.

Our prices aren't out of proportion to other clubs when you factor in London prices, all PL clubs are ripping off fans. Everyone could easily reduce prices with the TV money coming in and still have more to spend than other leagues but the PL sold out a long time ago and is becoming more and more commercial. The German model is ideal but we're getting further away from that all the time.
