Wenger is rationally right to resist the insane direction football is moving. The problem is it doesn't appear to be getting less rational any time soon, football has gone too far beyond that and won't come back. Clubs will American owners that have stupid ideas of football clubs needing to turn a profit will be shunted aside in favour of those using football as a branding exercise or hobby.
So increasingly Wenger seems isolated and alone and Arsenal lost alongside him as the world moves on. I really hope this isn't the case but it appears increasingly likely that it is. I think Wenger and Arsenal were banking on FFP and this summer, with it meant to come into effect, was when Arsenal's new stadium and prudence would pay off. We would have entered with the money to spend just as everyone had to cut back. That did not happen and instead players were going for more money than ever before, I mean £80 million for Gareth Bale? So their plans fell though.....
But every football fan should agree with Wenger just like they should agree with Liverpool sticking up to Suarez and United sticking up to Rooney. We should want that to be how it works. We're just pragmatic so we want those players and we want Wenger to buy.
Wenger is a football romantic and we're cynical realists.
