So Letters, if we fail to sign what we need in the next 3.5 hours, and Wenger isn't a bumbling, incompetent old dog, would you then be willing to concede that he is just a c***?

I'll concede he's French. That's my limit :sulk:Quote:

All he seems interestd in is the youth policy and spending as little as possible whilst gaining the best possible position, winning trophies doesn't seem to play a big part for him and that's not a big club mentality.
Not sure. Winning it 3 years in a row would be pretty impressive. Has anyone ever done that?Quote:

Why is the boards definition different to mine. Do they not continue with the stance at every AGM that the intention is for the club to compete in the winning of the P.L. & C.L. - If not, they really should tell us so that those not wanting to pay the highest season ticket prices in Europe can hand their tickets in to sell to those amongst us content with 4th place. If we really are simply a 3rd/4th place team now, think it only fair the season tickets are 3rd/4th priced.Quote:

Letters you know as well as I do that calling Wenger a bumbling incompetent is hyperbole borne out of frustration from him failing to do what's necessary season in season out. I think the anger and incredulity comes from the fact that he isn't stupid but is so stubborn as to believe what worked between 1998 and 2004 will work now.Quote:

If everyone believes we need to sign a holding midfielder and a striker, Wenger will be the dissenting opinion.
Just look at the excuses he throws out left, right and centre now that the board have confirmed what we already know to be true.....money is no longer an issue.
If he doesn't have the confidence in his own ability to improve meaningfully in all areas and make a sustained title challenge he should step down.
Chelsea and Uniteds results have clouded the issue that again we have failed to deal with the pressure of expectation.
How much time does he need to address our obvious deficiencies, surely actually making an effort to do so would help
You're describing pretty much the best case scenario with Wenger as has been shown in the last 10 years, but I bet come the end of the season if he achieves that and we have another one of the short unbeaten runs he'll be forgiven and given another chance.Quote:
