    In fact, he's doing a fucking blinding job if you look at it properly. Spends no money, get's champions league. That is fucking genius, and only a few managers could do that.

    This is what the board want him to do. Who knows if his role will change, if and when we decide to spend more money (assuming incumbent on new sponsorship deals).

    Winning shit, is what Wenger and all players want, but it is second priority on his job spec. It's so fucking clear it's untrue.

    Make no mistake, any new manager coming in will be tasked with exactly the same.

    We all fucking know we should be more ambitious than we have been. That goes without saying, but this delusional idea that it is all down to Wenger is hysterical and fucking retarded.
    That argument is retarded because it shouldn't stop him from going for the domestic cups if he knows he can't really challenge for the league. He disregards them every year. The man is content because he gets more money than any of the players and he's already won the league and FA Cup. It's a different story for the Champs League though. He'll field a weak squad for a FA Cup but he'll risk a key players fitness for a Champs League game. He rushed Cesc back for that Barca game and will always go with his strongest possible squad. You can tell he still has a burning passion to go for that one because he's never won it.

    The under instructions argument doesn't wash with me. As a sportsman, he should still have a desire to win trophies and really go for glory. It's obvious that he believes in what the Board are doing so he's content. Most managers who disagree with the direction their bosses are heading walk away and find clubs that give them a chance of winning silverware. Managers of smaller clubs often jump ship if a bigger club comes calling and can offer them a bigger budget. Wenger's ambition has to be called into question when you weigh all this up.

    His ideology is more important than winning for him, he won't win at all costs and that's partly why we are where we are. He stubborn like you say and won't change what he thinks is right, even if it's been shown not to work.

    IMO that's not something someone desperate to win does.
    OK. I agree at that. He has been too stubborn and while he can't ignore the finances, we don't have City's infinite money cheat on and have been hampered by poor commercial deals and the stadium repayments, I agree he errs too much on the side of the finances at the expense of doing more to improve our chances of competing.

    Listening to today's Arsecast right now - they've got a discussion on what defines 'ambition'.

    I'm not sure I'm going to make it through the day tbh.

    If you had ambition you would.

    They're probably reading off some bullshit script sent in by Gazidis and his spin doctor crew.
