Do you want Wenger sacked as manager?

[Özim]

You think a poor manager would have finished 3rd this year?

I don't think many managers in the world could have seen his two best midfielders leave, make some panic buys and still finish 3rd. That said, why did last summer happen? Wenger said he could write a book about it. I hope he does one day, I'd love to read it. I don't believe the mess last summer was all his fault but he's not blameless either. There are some more encouraging signs this summer - doing business early, trying to bolster the squad and show a bit of ambition. But we have to sort out the van Persie situation, we can't let that rumble on all summer and see him leave in August when it's too late to sign replacements.

The opposition fans I talk to just can't believe the way Arsenal fans berate Wenger. Several clubs have spent a huge amount of money trying to leapfrog us and repeatedly failed. City have succeeded of course but chuck a billion quid at any PL club and they'd want to be finishing above us. How much did 'King Kenny' spend? One league cup, an awful league season and the sack. Top 4 should not be the limit of our ambition. I don't believe it is, although it is the number one priority for Wenger and the board and the reality is in the modern game that has to be our priority. The money and prestige of being in the CL is just too important to dismiss. We should be winning trophies here and there but the achievement of finishing in the CL places every single year for 15 years should not be dismissed. But the failure to win trophies shouldn't be overlooked either.

In brief: no, he shouldn't be sacked. The idea of sacking a manager who finished 3rd behind Utd, who have the best manager around, and a side who bought the title is ludicrous.

I said he's not that great a manager and he isn't, top managers don't go 7 years without success I'm afraid...3rd/4th place is all very good but it's pretty meaningless in any way other than financially.

The opposition fans, well yes cos the grass is always greener on the other side, I'd love to see how they'd feel in our position if their club basically has no chance of ever winning anything, 3rd place is all very good but not if it means giving up any chance of success anywhere else which is what it basically means for us.

It's not ludicrous to sack a manager who's been at a top club and has won nothing in 7 years, he's failed at every level in terms of success, his side have even been beaten by inferior sides, we've seen some of the worst beatings in Arsenal's history under him as well and in recent years' it's got worse. The 3rd place was good but let's be honest here, Spurs bottled it big team and the Redknapp for England thing definitely unsettled them as the bad run seemed to start around then....so we had our fair share of luck there.
