    Dein was much more forward thinking and wanted the club to compete with the best, losing him was a bad thing for the club IMO.
    I agree with some of this but realistically how can we compete with the Manchester Clubs? Both have bigger resources than us, one has a better manager, neither has a stadium debt to pay off. I do think we could be doing more and I know you won't admit this but with the lack of investment Wenger's done pretty well to get us 3rd (he's done poorly in other ways of course).

    We can't compete with them in the transfer market but on the pitch I don't see why we can't match them. I've heard many people on here brag about us accumulating the same amount of points as them after we recovered from our poor start (although that's probably not true anymore because results have slipped), but still, it shows the level of consistency required is one we are capable of bringing to the table.

    We've had one too many brain farts this season and these are the type of issues that can be resovolved by the manager in-house.

    If anything, it's actually a compliment to Wenger that his detractors feel the team is capable of much better, because he's the one who gets them to play above expectation anyway.

    The only reason the board sidelined him is because he was close to Dein ( who was chari of his company). The board fell out with Dein and didnt want Dein to worm his way back in and dump them as directors. I dont think the board give a shit about his background.
