Arsenal fans pay more than any other football supporters on the planet. So, how can the club justify offering Jack Wilshere — one of the rare bright sparks in an otherwise mediocre season — a pay cut?
You would have thought a club as rich in tradition as Arsenal would look after one of their own. Clearly not. Wilshere has found that out to his cost.
Those Arsenal fans exasperated by the offer to Wilshere surely have every right to be. A recent UEFA report establishes that Arsenal earn more money per fan than any other club in Europe.
