Wenger Referendum: Yes Or No

[Niall_Quinn]

I meant in this thread in particular. I understand there are long standing reasons why people think we should move on from Wenger but people only post in here after a poor result which makes it look knee jerk and petulant.

Oh right. Hasn't everything that needs to be said been said about a thousand times? This thread, like many others, has become a sounding board for frustration. Even if we went on a run of 20 games unbeaten, does any sane Arsenal fan think we'd win the crucial 21st crunch match that made an actual difference? We'd definitely lose that. So the 20 unbeaten games are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, when is all this going to collapse? Wins don't mean anything at this club because we never build on them. However, we often deliver new lows which is lucky because it at least gives us something to talk about. Our winning runs are like a cart accelerating out of control down a boulder strewn hillside. It's always just a matter of time before the whole thing smashes to tiny pieces. You don't really enjoy a ride like that do you? There's no steering wheel, no sense of purpose. And you can even see the rock that's going to kill you way before you hit. And camera crews and journos are camped out waiting because they know what's going to happen too. They already have the copy written, they just need the photos.

Excellent post NQ. Nobody in his right mind could even envisage a cogent case for Wenger staying. It's pretty obvious, he stays because he sees nowhere else for him to go and nothing else for him to do that will deliver the same power and daily satisfaction as being a top flight manager of a upper echelon team. He won't leave easily because he has no internal compass that enables him acknowledge that he is actually holding this club back. We deride Keegan for bailing out when he did but the man has my utmost respect because he acknowledged that it wasn't in him to deliver results, not excitement as that was a Keegan trademark,, but results on a consistently upward trajectory. Wenger is not like this. He sees each individual victory as a vindication of his methods and each failure as a segue of bad luck and bad officiating. We are going nowhere with this man, nowhere. No team coached by Wenger now could ever pull off the once in a lifetime result the Spuds had yesterday. It isn't possible.
