Are the glory days over for good?

[Power n Glory]

I work for State farm.

In this place or any other client I have worked with, there are different departments. For example, if the IT department fails, the CEO of the company does not get fired, it is the manager of the IT dept!

Take Arsenal FC, the board is responsible for keeping the club in the green and they are doing a darn good job about it. They are also there to provide support to AW in every way and there has been no credible evidence of that being otherwise.. however AW is responsible for the football department and we are lacking in that. Who gets fired? Yup, Arsene it is..

Tell me in which football team the buck stops with the board? Unless the board is raping the club (like Newcastle or Man U), we should leave the board to do their job.

That leads me to seriously question what sort of work culture you have in UK! For every failure, you point the finger at the Board/CEO.. nice! Managers and workers are not liable for anything... UK has got to be the dream country for middle class slackers!

It's the same in the UK.

It’s funny because you’ve got people saying we’re punching above our weight and we’re having to deal with limited resources, 4th is good for us, etc….if that’s how they see it, then why talk of the Board being at fault for not firing Wenger?

For the first time in a long time, it looks like we’ll finish outside of the top four and if that happens, they’d be justified in firing him. But I’ve heard a lot of talk that sort of backs up why the Board haven’t fired or warned him, yet these same guys are critical of the Board, more so than Wenger.
