It’s his choice and the best thing they can do is set the challenge and see if he can deliver. Now that they’re saying the period of transition is over, we’ll see if they grow a pair. They have no excuse now and I can understand why they’d be cautious whilst building a new stadium. But I hold Wenger accountable for the garbage players we’ve signed. We’ve wasted good money on players like Gervinho, Santos, Chamakh, Squallci, players that he’s tossed on to the useless pile after one season. You buy cheap you buy twice. But the Board have to really take a hold of this situation now. No more excuses. Just like when you have to stop blasting a useless player, you soon have to start looking at the manager for picking him. The Boards time is coming and I’d be seriously pissed off if he fails again yet they offer him a new deal.
As you say, they can't tell him how to run his team, but asking who he wants to sign, then telling him not to worry about the money side, they will sort that, is not an abrovmich situation it is what should happen. Wenger didn't mind it when dein did it. The board need to tell him to worry about football side, identiy targets amd them leave the signing of them up to them while we focuses on training players.
