Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he has not envious of other clubs and their riches. The Frenchman strongly refuted any suggestion of resentment about counterpart Mark Hughes' and his club Manchester City's spending power or his salary.
"No, not at all," he told the club's official website. "I've never felt like that. You can ask all the clubs where I have been, I never renegotiated any of my contracts. Once I sign, I am happy with what I do and I try to give my best for what I have signed.
"Never in my life have I had that - I have never asked another manager how much money he is making, I have no interest in that. I enjoy what I do and try to do it as well as I can.
"In fact, I am more concerned with what to do to win the next game rather than how to spend £100m," he went on. "I am not really interested in that.
"My purpose is to develop the team on a daily basis and to think how we can improve. You ask me about this £100m and frankly I only heard about it because you cannot live in today's world and ignore it.
"But I didn't read one line about that because I have no interest in it. For me what is interesting is being on the football pitch in the morning and trying to see how we can develop as a team."
