    I don't know why people keep peddling this myth that Wenger had minimal control. In fact, there are actual quotes from Wenger himself saying that he had full control at the club.

    9th May 2017:

    "I'm the manager of Arsenal Football Club and as long as I'm manager of Arsenal Football Club, I will decide what happens on the technical front, that's it," Wenger, 67, said on the eve of Wednesday's league match at Southampton.

    "I don't know what director of football means. Is it somebody who stands in the road and directs play right and left? I don't understand and I never did understand what it means."

    Not with Silent Stan around,look what he did to Sven Minslantat who was having an 80percent hit rate and worked within our budget?Gone.

    Thats power.

    Do you also believe Wenger always had money in truckloads given to him.and he chose not to spend it and go with oroject youth from 2005 to 2012?Because thats what arsene said in the media?

    Ofcourse not l,Arsene always protected the club,the truth was to pay the stadium.debt swiftly we were required to make an average of 20m profit a season during those 7 years which we did while not paying big wages which was accomplished through using youth exclusively and our fans base was retained and grown by playing an extremely attractive brand of football.
