We all know by now that he has his weaknesses. The hammering we got from Chelsea was the last straw for me in a lot of respects, because I know he won't change. I keep sticking by him, as I believe he loves the club, I love what he has done for the club, and I would like nothing more than to see him succeed. But it's heartbreaking and angering at the same time to have the piss ripped out of us again and again.

I fully believe he wants to win. But he's too stubborn to change his ways in order to make that happen. It's quite massachistic if you think about it.

I said "no" to the poll, a) out of respect and b) knowing how difficult he is to replace at this point in time. It's a scary prospect to me.

But the Chelsea hiding taught me that it will just keep happening, as I don't believe in coincidence. So in that respect, he has to go.

I don't for one second think he deserves to be villified and ripped apart by the fans though.
He has said, to be a manager you spend a lot of time suffering. He does have SnM ways about him. Throw in his voyeurism....one messed up individual.

On a serious note, I think Wenger is a man with strong convictions and follows his gut. As Paddy said, his faith is his greatest asset and also his weakness. I'm not trying to throw shots at him when I say this, just trying to get a grip on what's been going on over the last 9 years. I think it's his time to go to and it's not just because of the results. It's the comments that come after and looking deeper into the way he sees football from his quotes, what other players say and then what we see on the pitch. I think his time has passed and what worked before won't work now. I think we'd need a major cash injection for his ways to work now because we need players way better than the competition to dominate again. I don't think that's possible with the other super rich clubs floating around us.
