The way I see it the buck stops with the manager after 9 years of the same pattern emerging and him being the only constant I don't really see how he can be defended.

He's tried to do it his own way and he's failed to deliver on the promises he made, his record in the transfer market is disappointing, particularly in terms of signing the players in the positions needed, right now we're basically fully stocked in terms of creative CM's but in other areas we're having to play CM's or going short.

His tactics, team selections, subs, motivational ability and ability to identify what's needed to improve the team have been questionable for many years now.

As far as I'm concerned from a fan point of view he's collected his big salary but not delivered on it, frankly I don't care what the board thinks is acceptable because I don't give a sh*t about them and they know nothing about football or what fans want.

From an ambition point of view if Wenger is indeed a top manager then getting 4th and being happy with the fact he's achieved his goals is not the right attitude for a manager who is supposed to be so good, the best manager's want to win and will do anything it takes to do it that's what sets them apart.

As he's said he wouldn't feel he was doing his job if he didn't make the club a profit, the more success you have the more revenue you'll bring in and thus your chances of profits are increased and everyone is happy, if he wants to focus on profits he should go and work for a bank not a football club as far as I'm concerned, it's up to the board to worry about the profits not the manager.

He was done a few years ago IMO, and now he's definitely done, it's time to shake his hand thank him for all the memories and move on.
