And that there is the tragedy of what our club has become. because he won't. Noone at the club is able to, or interested in taking Wenger to task, and given what we have seen from Gazidis' other sports ventures, I am really not convinced that even a year failing to qualify for the CL will see the end of our manager. It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if the cash reserves that we have are earmarked as a safety fund to ensure the minimum of commercial disruption in these circumstances - and Wenger's track record in achieving what the shareholders want financially will see him survive even a non top 4 finish.
This Groundhog Day will end only when Wenger chooses it to end. The incongruity of this situation and a the fact that the aim of professional sports is to win things is absurd.
As I'm about to point out on another thread, Wenger is not just omnipotent at our club, but I honestly believe he is delusional. I think that he genuinely believes in his own soundbites, promises and excuses. This is what happens so often to people in positions of total power - their judgment suffers and this leads to their downfall.
