    Why?
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    My own view is that even in the slim chance that Wenger wins is the title in the next couple of seasons, I'd prefer it if he didn't sign a new contract. I do agree that we have experienced missed opportunities because of his myopic and stubborn defence of players that aren't good enough, yes for example money was tight five-ten years ago but we had goalkeepers available to us that wouldn't have broken the bank that were far superior to Manuel Almunia.
    On the other hand I find it daft especially during bad periods when posters here seem to form the idea that literally any manager would be better than Wenger, when clearly the whole point of Wenger stepping down would be for us to push on...and I'm sorry but there aren't multitudes of managers who will do that. There are managers out there who would improve us for sure, but the list isn't as long as people think it is. And as much as l'ouisseau pisses us off he is still superior to the majority of his premier league counterparts.

    To win the league these days you need 3 key elements, a goal getter, a solid defensive unit and/or a manager that gets those extra 10 points. We dont have any of those and although we will look good some days, come the end of the season we will come up short.

    We won't be winning the title as we have a manager who just won't adequately strengthen the squad and is tactically very naive.

    It's frustrating but it's a fact, any other top manager would have identified our weaknesses and tried to do something about them, not Wenger he just hopes lady luck will somehow turn players into world beaters when he needs them to.

    That

    The attitude that irritates me on here is how extreme people's views about Wenger are.
    I don't think he's a wrinkly old French **** and therefore, apparently, I worship the ground he walks on. It's a boring and lazy strawman argument.

    Wenger has his flaws, but he's doing a lot more right than wrong. The next bloke will have flaws too and lots of managers have far bigger flaws than Wenger.
    There are some people who could probably push us on, but there aren't many.

    There aren't many posters on here and not many are that extreme. Just a few posters take it that far. But maybe you've misread a few posts.

    You do worship him - you are now denying that he's wrinky, old & french.
