I get that but as a manager his Job is to manage the team, and make sure all team affairs are looked after. IMO its the coach who should be motivating the team or what is he here for.
Look at the clubs in Europe all have Coach's same with rugby and Us sports. The way AW has managed the team imo has been fine the wayhe has coach them as been Awful and that's the difference.
He's a good manager but a poor coach.
I think any other team at our level would have sacked Wenger.
But the boards of most other clubs at our level judge success by trophy count, not bank balance.
With Wenger it's a maddening combination for me of being impressed with how year after year he's kept us up there (and I think some people underestimate how hard that is, how many other clubs have consistently? Only ManYoo and they have the best manager around), but we've failed to finish the job when trophies have been within reach.
I've always felt we're more likely to get worse post-Wenger than better, at times this season there didn't seem much to lose but right now I'm feeling good about the team again so I think we have something worth keeping. Another poor run and I'll change my mind again. It's been one of those seasons.
What is it about top four your not getting here? I'm not talking about West Brom and Sunderland here. I'm talking about teams that are in the hunt for silverware every year or have realistic ambitions of winning silverware. Come on now, why you acting silly and tetchy for?
You can put Liverpool on that list as well.
