I believe that there is something wrong there but I don't feel qualified to extrapolate something from that to criticise every asset of the man.

If I was going to state what I believe is the case is that you have a manager who has for too long been given free reign to indulge his ideology. I think the only pressure he is ever put on by the board is to achieve 4th so that's why he sets so much stall by it because its the only thing he knows he has to achieve.

Does it excuse him of anything? No but can you honestly tell me that if you were paid as well as he was and the bar was set so low for you that you'd have problems sleeping at night.
I'm not arguing anything about the father figure part, just clearly pointing out the facts. Players have gone on record to say Wenger is a like a father to them. What you said in your previous post was wrong.
