Wenger - footballers deserve obscene wages

[USMartin]

What can we actually do about it though Martin? Something that's going to have a positive outcome? Regardless of whether you are right or wrong, we are powerless to effect the share-holders in any way at all. Even less so if they have the attitude you prescribe them with.

See you amy be correct but you mayn not be and it has to be worth a try at the very least.

I do think though that ultimately you are targetting the worng audince here anyway.

We need to find someone in the media who is genuinely a good objective journalist, perhaps an investigative jouralist who is curious enough to want to pursue our concerns.

QuartzGooner actually suggested as much but his approach was genuinely oversimplistic and condescending and conjured images of film noirs with journalists in their offices like detectives dragging on cigarettes and recalling all the dirt they had seen and done before Veronica Lake or gene Terney Saunters in to ask them to look for the missing husbandor boyfirend whose disappearance they almost certainly had something to do with.

Seriously our goal in whatever we do should be to make people in the media curious as to what we are doing and why and if we find the right journalist then maybe he won''t be contnet to wait until someone at the club wants to and is ready to talk to him on their terms.

I am not comparing this to the Watergate scandal so you know, but in fact when that first began all it was to nearly everybody here was "a third rate burglary" - the point being just because we don't know more now doesn't mean there is not more to know. We need to find a way to get someone who can look into that properly to do so.

I can't believe you even have a plan.

It's a plan almost any movement has employed when they cannot get siatisfaction from the group whose policies they are protesting. It's not something that too a minute to think about even really.

It has got to the stage where I am skipping almost entire pages on threads now such is the amount of towers and/or long winded posts

Can we just go back to the part where wenger claims that the players are entitled to get their share of the success..........what success ? We aint winning any pots so what classes as success nowadays ? Are we telling the players that success at this club is judged on the balance sheets hence their rights to share in that success ? As the old saying goes.....there used to be a football club over there

A whole song here - "There Used to Be a Ball Park" Sinatra sang it too. Omne of his better songs if not happier ones.

But you are right - that is a disquieting thought to say the very least.
