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.
Still a team full of bottlers back then, but they actually got far enough in things to bottle it. Arsene's teams post 05 were all full of bottlers and I think alot of that comes down to his management.
