Surely losing the fans has got to have some impact. Even with TV revenue, it is still important to keep the customers happy.

They don't care once they have the money.

Just look at their continuous "full house" attendance figures, even though you see
a few red seats on TV at the Library. Once the money for each seat is in the bank,
Kroenke et al don't seem to care whether supporters turn up.

In fact even if one section of the stadium was empty in protest, IMHO I doubt their
board would even blink.

Have to say I agree with this completely.
Arsenal getting second did actually **** them over somewhat by, like you say, papering over some cracks.

But now I am just waiting for HIAG to come in and say it was Poch's plan all along to let them get second and thus he sabotaged Spurs' last 3 games of the season <laugh>

Why on Earth would I say that?

The reason for Spur's capitulation was there for all reasonably-minded folk to see for themselves. When it became clear that we couldn't win the title, the players simply gave up. To them, finish second or third didn't appear to matter, whereas to us fans finishing above Arsenal would have been applauded, even amidst the disappointment of not winning the title.

For Wenger, had Arsenal not finished above Spurs last season, I think he may well have walked before the start of this season. As RCL said, his finishing second served only to paper over the cracks, as this season is, once again, demonstrating.

I don't see anything other than a grimace?

EDIT: Maybe a tiny hint of a smile at the end? Hard to condemn 100%

He's laughing, just as he was when they were losing to Liverpool:

Top player, that Sanchez. I have a lot of respect for him.

It must be well worth our while making a cheeky bid for him, now.

I don't see Wenger as the problem at Arsenal, they were always on the cusp before the new stadium came up. Wenger was obviously told to not spend heavily on new players which could have taken them to the next level. Spurs are to make the same mistakes as Arsenal have....new stadium and no real money to strengthen and better the squad. So don't expect seeing them stepping up to the next level anytime soon.

Like Arsenal their top players won't hang about if they're not winning things. All the top six clubs and players want to play European football and win trophies.

They've paid big money in recent years though. Ozil was around £46m and Sanchez about £32m. They've got money to spend, they just don't spend it and when they do, it's in the wrong areas. They've been crying out for a CB and DM since Vieira and Campbell left! A keeper too until Cech turned up.
