    True.

    Add to that, that players we could attract come here knowing we'll happily settle for fourth, and are not concerned about TRYING to win leagues and cups, shows lack of ambition.

    What other club on earth has come out and said, "We'll settle for less than we could possibly get".

    I just can't see a way out of it now, aside from having a complete overhaul, and a few years in the wilderness.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    A few years in the wilderness beckons. If we finish 4th we'll just get more of the same, so thanks but no thanks.

    Last night was just another home truth that clearly showed, while we may qualify for the ECL, we don't belong in it.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    might as well turn out the lights and go home really.

    we've pretty much always been poor in the cl, so last night was no surprise.

    This is why I said that finishing outside the top 4 may jolt us into action. Humiliations like last night or at OT can be dismissed as one off aberrations in a season where we won our CL group and we're still competing for a top 4 place (I think that says more about Chelsea and Liverpool than us, but astonishingly we are still 4th right now).

    Finishing lower though crosses a line though which may jolt the board/Wenger into action.


    Or it may not

    Yeah I agree, I've no idea what our strategy would be if we fall out of the top 4 this year.

    Wenger will go if we don't finish top 4, can't see him staying to manage a team in the europa league.

    Personally, I just think it'll make the board even more tight fisted.
