Match Reaction - Arsenal 1-2 Watford - Wenger Out

“I built the club, and the way I did it was with hard work,” said Wenger. “I had no external resources. Compare the club when I arrived and how it is today. It is moved forward, and without any help from anybody.”

And therein lies the issue with the manager. '98 to 2005 - of course we moved forward as a football team. 2005 to now any forward progress has been limited to the balance sheet. Seems almost as though the manager can no longer tell the difference.

What's more disturbing about that quote is the lack of humility. He's taking full credit for where we are. If that's the case and bringing this back to the ownership argument, why does it matter about ownership? If we find a manager with a vision for the club but doesn't deviate so far away from the self sustaining model, shouldn't we be able to find our feet again?
