After the draw with Leicester, Wenger spoke about spending on players and put it in the context of his responsibility to the club's 600 employees. This also gives a hint to the Arsenal manager's mindset: it harks back to a decade and a half ago when the financial landscape of the Premier League was very different. Then, as Leeds United proved, it was possible to put the entire existence of a club in danger through wild overspending. Now, with the huge television deal (Arsenal will earn in the region of £140 million in domestic TV money alone this season), the Premier League salary cap and financial fair play restrictions it is almost impossible for a top-flight club to teeter towards the fiscal abyss the way they could during Wenger's first few years in England.
