How can you accuse a man who put his body on the line over 600 times for us of cowardice?augie wrote:QuartzGooner wrote:These guys respect Wenger for what he did for them and still have to actually meet him from time to time, there is such as thing as tact.Ikechukwu1 wrote:
Mind you he isn't alone. Dixon, totally gutless.
Dixon in Amy Lawrence's book has subtly criticised Wenger's defensive coaching without openly criticising it...diplomatic skill there from our fourth most capped player.
Said Wenger did not coach defence but set up an atmosphere where good defensive skills were passed on, his example was of how Cole was mentored by Adams.
Of course, these skills have by now largely dissipated, and we can read between the lines.....
One mans tact is another mans cowardice quartz - Dixon is a pundit now and as such he is paid to give an honest analysis of what he see's, and if he is afraid to do so then he should consider a career change
If you'll pardon the pun our ex-right back has to exercise a certain adroitness with regards to the club.
It is not impossible that he could be asked back to work as a coach or a tour host or in a corporate capacity.
He needs to be able to walk round the stadium and speak to people and find out what is going on and turn up at press conferences without being banned, he may even need to phone up Wenger on occasion.
With his Lawrence book interview he has damned Wenger and let the fans know what is going on, but very cleverly and subtly.
