Arsenal chief Gazidis takes swipe at Man City: Money isn't everything

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 01/31/2012 - 09:14

Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis has taken aim at Premier League leaders Manchester City.

City are left in only one cup competition — the Europa League.

Fifth-placed Arsenal are still in the Champions League and FA Cup — but have not won a trophy since 2005.

Gazidis said: "Manchester City would love to be in three competitions.

"Money is not everything in this game. I don't disagree that it's important. But we do things based on a value system.

"We're about creating star players, not about buying them.

"We can't afford to compete with oil money, and we can't afford to compete with super-wealthy individuals from Russia.

"But I think the more important thing about our model is that it's sustainable."
