Motivation isn't the problem. Quality of player is the problem.

There's no point bringing Fergie into this argument as he's a one off and has a MUCH better squad of players than us. Look at Mourinho - the self proclaimed special needs one - his Madrid team is third in a two team league, 15 points behind first place and he has some phenomenal players including the second best in the world. He must be the world's worst manager.
we don't have top players, due to wenger, so with that in mind, he has to compensate.

personally, i'd go with fergie's point of view on this one and from years of working and seeing how people react as soon as the manager turns his back, i'd say he's spot on. a managers job is to motivate his team and keep them working hard. this has nothing to do with fergie being far superior because he is talking about what the requirements for the job - not how good he is at it.

so you pick one season out of how many for maureen. how many has this been dragging on with wenger? how many seasons with the same old thing, never addressed? stop being dramatic, because it undermines your argument even further.
