So what do we do to improve our prospects of mounting a challenge for the league and other competitions.

Even though none of your questions have nothing to do with anything.
I would rather be where we are RIGHT NOW, and have the manager we have right now, than any other club in the league, and any other manager beyond SAF. Given cups are practically the luck of the draw, (I honestly think we would have beaten birmingham if RVP wasn't injured in the second half) basing the performance of the manager on them alone is a stupid thing to do.

There are "better managers" on paper sure, some might be a great fit for the club, the management, the ethos, and the squad, most won't, and most of the managers who could do better are otherwise pre-occupied at bigger or richer clubs. Instead of conceeding the point that changing manager is more likely to do more harm than good, given the evidence (looking at the EPL over the last 5 years) - your suggesting it's the best way. It isn't. Giving AW loads of money is, given the evidence.

Why that is so difficult to swallow for you lot has more to do with you than anything else tbh.

again, questions avoided.

yes it's nice and fluffy where we are right now but football is ever evolving and you die unless you move forward - how long can we keep scraping into the top 4, juggling too much before we drop all the balls? i would rather be proactive than reactive.

basing the performance of a team over 7 years is more than a fair assessment. Sure a season or two is not enough but repeated patterns only lead to one thing – which is the staleness we face now. If i and many others didn’t believe we could not have achieved more during that time without breaking the bank, then the noise against the manager would not be growing but it is because we have all see the same things manifest again and again.

how can i conceded a point that we would lose more by changing the manager when that is based on nothing. do you think montpellier should give the title to psg this season? Or Dortmund give it to Bayern, before apologising for beating them twice?

money is not the answer here. getting the maximum out of the resources available to you is the key here and something wenger has not done for a while now, despite still doing a good job.
