Wenger's only worry is that by the time they pay off the stadium, he may no longer be in the job as the fans become more disillusioned with the clubs lack of success. He (wenger) may end up doing all this hard work just for someone else to come in and reap the rewards of his prudence/patience.

The other possible downside is that by the time they pay off the debts on the stadium, they may no longer have a team to attract the attendances to fill the stadium every week. That could happen too if they have to keep selling their best players before they reach their peak to pay the stadium debt.
However, that depends on the recession and them being able to make a sizeable profit on the property built on their old Highbury ground to pay off a big chunk of their debt.
Btw - does anyone think we could follow that strategy and use any property built on Anfield to pay off a chunk of the new stadium debt (if we ever get one built)?

Hahahahaha. You have to pay people to buy property there mate, you certainly couldnt sell any!
Plus, as part of the deal of us getting planning permission to build the stadium on a national park we have to make some of it parkland, some a community centre to help the locals & some car parking as that needs to e increased.
So in short, not a chance.

Surely they'd be queueing round the block to live up there mate? ;D
