    Well no, those two things aren't the same. I don't want Wenger to stay, but I don't want us to do something which puts us in a worse position.
    To pick up fakeyank's (not very good, IMO) analogy of someone in an abusive relationship, you might want to get out of said relationship but extricating yourself may not be simple, if it's a long relationship, and you don't want to do so on a way which leaves you in a worse position.

    If you want Wenger to be gone NOW with no plan as to who to replace him with, so basically have a caretaker manager, then no we're not on the same page.
    IMO that would put us in a worse position, at least in the short term, so I can't see any sense in it.

    I'll ignore your childish first sentence...

    IMO whoever replaces Wenger has to see our obvious weaknesses & will have to address them. Even if Bouldy took over for the rest of the season he would have to strengthen us in Jan whereas I'm not sure Wenger will. With the quality already in the team strengthening us defensively inc a proper DM can only result in more points. Our football may change, become less tippy-tappy & more direct but again I think this would be good for us. IMO this would give us more chance of a top 4 finish than leaving Wenger to do fuck all in Jan to sort us out defensively & continue to shit himself against the big clubs & drop points to the pubbers.
