No, but he has made some of the club's money available to Wenger for transfers, not his personal money, the club's money, so he is utterly blameless. Okay, he hasn't done his job as owner and sacked the under-performing, failing manager but apart from that he is blameless, mate. Blameless.
Yep that's true - he's made a tiny portion of the available cash flow over the last 6 years available in one year. Of course we'll airbrush from history the first half of his ownership which saw us sell some of our best players, make considerable profits from property, pay dividends to Josh Kroenke for fuck all, renegotiate all the commercial deals that were going to see us sign any of the world's top players (barring Messi and Ronaldo), ignore organisations like Black Scarf trying to help the average fan with lower ticket prices and payment plans, and continue to block the second largest shareholder from a seat on the board
That £100m that was made available last Summer forgives him all that doesn't it (well at least in some people's eyes). Must have been Wenger responsible for all of the above
