i ask because i think our 'status' as a top team in the uk and the world has remained in place, thanks in the main to the cl saving our blushes. we have never been a team to win the league, even every other season, let alone back-to-back.

now of course the club want to grow into a super club, as we've seen with the stadium move and rebranding of arsenal and the only way it can step into the exclusive man u/barca/madrid type bracket and stay there is to win a stack of trophies alongside the marketing machine.

what we can and should be able to do is at least be nicking the odd trophy here and there, whether it be a cup or the occasional league title and with the players we have had over the past 7 years, that should have been achievable. we all know it has not happened and there are other managers out there that can at least deliver some silverware or at least realistically challenge.
Yes at a manc level
Some people on here think that With AW gone we will go on and Win the league a few times in a row etc.. Had chavs not got into money and the Invincibles been younger we'd have had an era of dominance i believe.

But it was not too be. Now i just can't see us doing that well not under Wenger or anew manager any time soon.

I agree and this is why i believe Wenger and the board, (both to blame for this) to leave the club they have failed and no amout of excuses can cover this up.

I just can't see us wining the league soon and im fine with that as long as we pick up a few cup and challenge for the league. Till we can get ourselves in a place where we can challenge City at the top.
