I know we won't see change at the top. That's not my point. My point was directed towards the media, and the fact that they don't ever highlight those very important issues. Even though Wenger is in charge of the football, and rightly should be moved on, he is not the only problem.
I just don't like seeing the board getting a free ride, whilst a man (who is clearly past his sell by date) gets all the flack from media and fans alike.
I know Wenger is infuriating. I know he's fucked it all up. And I know it's time to part company. I just think we a) could afford him a bit more respect in the way in which we "sack the ****" and b) not lose sight of the fact that it all stinks. Not just him.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
He's not an Arsenal man LDG. Lost that respect the day he sold Van Persie to Man Utd. And if his employers were putting a gun to his head, walk. He can expose everyone and not stand by while our club is sinking. He has to have some pride and walk. If Gazidis and Kroenke are ****s, so is Arsene. I don't feel good about saying that but that's the way it is. He likes the silly money more than Arsenal.
You gotta feel a bit for Wenger, well I do anyway, because the team he'd built just a couple of seasons ago that went toe to toe with Barca looked like it was almost ready to do something big. You had Fab, Nasri, RVP, an on form Arshavin and wonder kid Wilshere on the scene. Those were exciting times IMO.
Obviously what has happened since has been a catastrophe and in such a short space of time.
If Wenger had walked after they were sold we'd all give the new manager a couple or three seasons to rebuild. We're not giving Wenger that same patience as he's been around for so long and we're tired of him. But he is building from scratch.
I don't think he's the right man for the job as I think all managers have a shelf life. But he has had a very good team, that he built, completely gutted.
The media have protected him for years and have always speculated about how much money he has to spend and if he's getting the proper support. He's been sheilded from much of the blame because of his legacy. But he stands up for the Board when the media take shots at the way we're run. He redicules them for it.
