Wenger surprised by reaction to Game 39
Written by Jonathan Chong on Saturday, February 16, 2008
Manager Arsène Wenger says that he is surprised by the global reaction to the Premier League's proposals to a 39th game to be played at a neutral venue around the globe.
The Frenchman says that he is willing to explore such a possibility to see if it is designed to advance the modern game instead of being for just pure profit.
Wenger said: "I'm surprised by the immensity of the battle from people who are against it without really analysing the pros and cons.
"For me the biggest disrespect to the fans is to take money out of their pockets without giving them something of quality.
"I can understand a lot of resistance because there are problems that have to be erased, but you cannot say that a competitive game is disrespectful to fans.
"Friendly games for huge prices are disrespectful to fans."
