Premier League chief tells Arsenal to stop moaning about Man City spending
Premier League chief Richard Scudamore has dismissed Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's complaints over Manchester City's spending power.
Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy moved to the Etihad this year, while Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure were bought in previous seasons.
Scudamore said: "I don't feel sorry for anybody, in the sense that they are all in the same competitive way.
"They cannot compete financially so they have to compete in other ways. Arsene Wenger has the talent, skill and nous to be able to do that.
"Arsenal have not exactly been shy in paying good wages and paying for players in the past.
"They have to cut their cloth accordingly. I'm sure that doesn't mean they cannot compete for the title."

Scudamore you tard! If we overspend and get sucked into a financial blackhole like Leeds, will you come and bail us out?? No. So shut your mouth, and try and make it competitive so that a club can only spend what it makes you fool.
In about 2 seasons, both German Football and Spanish football are going to be well ahead of us, then watch Scudamore beg UEFA for rules to help out the FA!
wenger is 100% right - city are football ulcers, they represent the worst in human beings, hitler-troops like group of idiots, blue ulcers
Is this fooookin guy for real, why do we want a premiership that consists of peoples play things, alla Abrovitchiosko and shake a lake and bake monsour or who the hell ever, its not football anymore and its a massive joke so Scudamorinofiscianto just shut your trap and crawl in a large hole and do one, is this what you want you totalised plank ***** headed knob cheese headed jumped up ***** stormer !!!!!
