When a football manager has input into how the dressing room is designed, I just do not see how any blame for our failure can be taken away from him. He is 100% to blame..

Oh and a fun fact, anyone who plays Fifa12 on PS3 will know that when you play with Arsenal enough, one of the commentators mentions how "Arsenal had an amazing pitch in highbury and that is one of the things they have moved to the Emirates stadium and credit needs to go to Arsene Wenger for that"... FFS, even in a football game, he is given credit for non-football shit. Since all things good that happened to Arsenal till 2005 was down to Arsene Wenger then all things bad (to our football) is all down to Arsene Wenger. No point hiding behind the board and blaming them for how terrible our football is.
Did you read the Swiss Ramble article? If you didn't manage to read between those thick, wide and brightly coloured lines then try reading it again. But this time fit the pieces together on the financial side, it's not hard to see a clear path and a clear pattern. It's also not at all hard to see how the board managed to fund and secure its property operation that has ultimately yielded them a stupid amount of cash. For as long as the majority of fans are focused on the wrong problems, nothing can ever change at the club. No point getting rid of a fox in the hen house if the fucking farmer puts another one in the next day either.
