Heh. I would say this but I have to say Arsenal's board are up there as well! The club has always been secure and profitable and this includes both the new stadium and subsequent move as well as the new training ground. They have stayed in the top 4 while making a profit on transfers. A lot of this is down to Wenger as well but if you look at the top teams how many of them make a profit from the transfer market?

Maybe we could say Randy Leaner as well. Modest funding, balanced books and he even rejected shirt sponsorship to put a charity on there! Classy.
Lerner is definitely the populist choice as Levy doesn't really ooze charisma.I was judging Levy purely on a business perspective.

Arsenal (Dein?) are responsible but I wouldn't say maverick. Wenger is shrewd in the markets (Adebayor, Toure, Viera, etc) but they never seem to have much money. They keep the club level (and delivering a stadium isn't easy) but they do have a lot more revenue than us with the Champions League.
