No arsenal fan would disagree that as a manager aw is lacking behind the rest or still stuck where he is. When it comes to upstairs business finacial matters there is more then we know that is going on. I mean half our team did not want to leave in the summer because AW was a bad manager or did not fight for the team.

Ashley cole said the reason he left was the board not the manager. Players can see the board has no ambiton and that is driving them away.
That hasn't been the argument for all on here. You as well. Too much emphasis has gone on the budget Wenger has to spend and players he has at his disposal. I've been saying he should be doing a lot better with the players he has and he doesn't take into consideration the oppoositons strengths and weakness or the individual players we have on our team.

The Ox has been under Wenger's nose for months now and he kept playing Arshavin. I said last week that Arshavin suited on the flanks and his lack of work there exposes us. Man Utd's major threats came from the flanks and he took off the Ox for Arshavin which made no sense attack wise and we were caught out on defence because of that decision.

I'm not arguing for the Board to sack him now because I din't think that would be the right decision, unless they have thought through who can replace him and will he have enough time to get in the players he needs to get us through this season. It here isn't much the Board can do that would have a positive effect on our season right now. I don't believe Wenger has funds being held back and even if he did, it's these sort of tactical errors that are costing us.
