Should Wenger go?

[Marc Overmars]

I genuinely don't see a defence for him anymore.

I know the board need to shoulder some blame in terms of potenially holding back funds, but it is not them who drill a group of players who at times don't even resemble a professional football team.

yep 3 years too late. For the second time this season and the 3rd time ever i actually expectorant to turn the news on this morning and find out he had been sacked/had resigned

Because folk on the internet say he should go?

no, because the team are fucking shit and have no passion. Thats why.

I really am saddened by what is happening to him and think we passed the point of no return about two years ago. I will always appreciate the breath-taking football he brought to Highbury. I remember at the time thinking we were witnessing the golden age of Arsenal. The football was insanely exciting and he raised expectations to a level that was unsustainable given the strategy he and/or the Board embarked on to facilitate the move to Ashburton Grove.

We were promised that the move would enable Arsenal to grow and compete with the best. The environment changed with the advent of the sugar daddy. Ferguson adapted, but Wenger did not. The Club consequently operated a strategy completely at odds with what was promised to the fans. I accept that we could not buy the best, but for years now, we haven't come close to buying/developing a team that makes effective use of the resources that are available to us.

The approach is utterly bizarre - that might just be Wenger, it might just be the Board, but I think it is both. We are now a fallen giant and will remain so for as long as Wenger is in charge. It may still remain the case with his successor, but we have to take the jump.

I'm gutted for Wenger - anyone with an ounce of objectivity can see how much he wants to do better, but he is now being ridiculed by some - including those who rejoiced the loudest in his proudest moments. And he deserves so much better than that.

My point was just because people on here say he should go (and he should) don't mean it will influence the board to get rid or for him to go himself.

Welll, obviously not. I only created this poll to see how far the tide had turned against him. It looks pretty grim.

Good post.

I could never disrespect the man. He took us places we never would have gone without him.

This is true, cant take that away, but he is ruining all the good work he done for us.

Don't think you needed to, to see the tide has turned its been obvious for months now.
