    Well if I wasn't happy in a job I'd leave, why let it ruin your life.

    There's other jobs out there, plus he's not short of a bob or two, he's happy enough with the situation or he'd not have signed a new contract and would have left.

And do you stop the team winning when you get to 4th? It's just nonsense.
    It's not about planning for 4th, it's settling for it.

    If you don't invest in quality and make the necessary changes and instead opt to stick with players who haven't performed because better ones would cost money, you're settling.

    Plus if you factor in all the comments about 4th place over the years it's clear he values it a lot, it's like a major trophy to him. Maybe someone would create a cardboard cutout trophy for 4th place so we can place it in our trophy cabinet.

    Wrong, this year it's about being grateful and relieved to get 4th. Expectations are way down, performances are way up. Maybe we were all a bit spoiled and expected too much. I say let's just be done with this - kill the board members and move on, let bygones be biplanes.

    Are you that Naive to believe that crap that comes out of the media. Just because he says he is happy with 4th ot does not mean he means it. If he said next week that We will win the league this season what would you say to that, would you say he is ambitious or is off his head?

    I do get what your saying tbf, but i think he gets about winning things and wants to but also wants to do things his way. if anything he is more stubborn then not ambitious.

    It's not just the media though, it's years of the same thing 4th place....at some point a manager desperate to win decides he needs to change something...Wenger didn't until he was literally forced to.

    He's just not proactive enough which kinda shows winning isn't the be all and end all for him, now sure you see him rant and rave on the sidelines but 10 minutes later he's back with excuses....doesn't wash for me, in his head he's decided 4th is a great achievement and that whilst winning would be good if we don't that's life.

    Like i said he's stubbon thats the problem, though he is learning to put the team 1st. don't see a point in looking backwards, what happend has happend.

    Its what he does now that should count.

    why would being unhappy about part of your job ruin your life? that's why you weigh up what you do like against what you don't and make your decision. which is just as likely for wenger each time he renews a contract.

    everything isn't black or white. you can still work at a job where some elements aren't favourable but overall you feel its worth staying on.

    I'm a bit pissed off at work because the cold water dispenser near my desk is on the blink. It has been like that for a while even though it has been brought to facilities management's' attention. Everything else about the working environment is fine.

    Should I resign?

    If you work for a cold water dispenser manufacturer yes, you'll be out of a job soon enough with those faulty dispensers.

    Of course not! I assume, as with most businesses, you as the employee have full control. You should order your boss to replace the dispenser and probably have a coffee machine put in while you are at it. Then I'd strongly consider sacking him.
