Can't disagree with any of that. As for opinions changing - I am one of those who has finally 'lost faith' recently. As I explain on the other thread, I was prepared to live with the necessary re-building after the stadium project; prepared to accept that it is harder to compete with the rich boys; prepared to accept that project youth was tried, and ultimately failed, and to give the manager a chance with his post project youth reincarnation, and a change of coaching personnel.
I still believe that many of those calling for Wenger's head years ago were precipitous - and the fact that they had little patience then does not make them great sages now, in my view. But there is no evidence whatsoever that the fundamental issues with our style of play; the team's mentality and the tactical (or rather non tactical) decisions made by the manager and his players are being addressed, and every evidence that our manager is so stubborn and myopic that he will run us into the ground (relatively speaking) rather than fundamentally alter his approach.
The continual sales of our best players simply exacerbates the situation.
I believe firmly that the club is basing its entire approach on FFP and renewal of sponsorship deals. But even if a miracle happens and the playing field is levelled properly - will Wenger suddenly start spending money or stop taking stupid risks? Will the team suddenly become full of grit, determination and character? Will there be a tactical revolution? I think not, and I would prefer a fresh manager to be installed to take advantage of the situation in 2 years' time.
