    Is there another "top bracket" manager who has gone 7 seasons without a trophy?

    I am generally wondering if there is another top bracket manager who has gone so long without winning.

    Not sure how much transfer fees, etc can be blamed when we have a huge wage bill, and players like Ramsey, Denilson, Bendtner, Squilachi, Almunia etc have been given chance after chance.

    Serious question....i cant think of anyone..most would have been sacked long ago.

    The rules are different for Arsene Wenger.

    You know the answer so why ask the question.

    In our jobs, we all have targets to meet. If we fail to meet those targets, we suffer the consequences.

    What people need to realise, is Arsene's targets are not set by the fans, but by his employers.

    I can't think of one, but it's OK for Wenger as 4th place is like a major trophy. If I was AW I'd be pretty disappointed with my performance and career in the last 7 years, you'd have thought he'd have wanted to add a few more trophies to his collection, sadly he seems content with 4th places.....is there another big club manager with so little ambition to succeed?

    It seems a long long time ago since we were that top side who were great to watch and so competitive, if you look at his record over the whole period with us it's not really that great.

    Pretty much, people rightly lambast Man City for spending huge fortunes, we just pocket them which is equally distasteful IMO....neither of these is good for football.

    What a stupid response, considering some of the responses you come out with maybe you should choose your words more carefully.

    A manager should if he has any pride in his job try to succeed and do his best, AW doesn't all he does is make money, that's not football at all. He's got no pride in his job clearly.

    If you want stupidity then look at those allowing the board to line their pockets.
    It is a stupid thread cause we all know the answer, but because you like to slate Wenger its a top thread.

    So what your doing is calling the fans stupid for lining the boards pockets nice that.

    I changed my post somewhat, but if your point is valid then in a sense yes, though it's a bit more complex than that. I personally think Arsenal fans just put up and shut up on the whole, there's not really many signs of discontent overall....maybe fans are happy paying sky high prices, getting 4th every season and having a board who are happy lining their own pockets.
