I agree with g88er and Quartz but I would like to see him employ a number 2 to replace Pat Rice. Something needs freshening up. I simply cannot believe that he has lost the plot completely and that Dein's departure and the limited finances hasnt contributed more to this than Wenger's stubborness. Its probably a combination of all but I'm hoping Ivan Gawhatshisname will help make us a bit more ruthless in transfer dealings this summer and see what happens next year.
What I would like, though, is an end to this ridiculous '1-2% behind, desire, spirit' crap and him make the players take some responsibility. Handling them with kid gloves clearly doesnt work.
But all of the above relies on him admitting he needs to change things.
A POLL TO GAIN SOME CLARITY
An interesting comparison....
this thread (at time of writing) suggests that 34% of gooners who took part think Wenger's time is up, and they want him gone.
Goodplaya (a popular Arsenal blog) recently ran a poll (1000 fans) and the results were...
http://www.arsepod.co.uk/2008/
Arsene is the man to take us forward
- Agree strongly = 66%
- Tend to agree = 21%
- Neither agree or disagree = 8%
- Tend to disagree = 4%
- Strongly disagree = 1%
Arsene should go if we don't win a trophy
- Agree strongly = 2%
- Tend to agree = 3%
- Neither agree or disagree = 6%
- Tend to disagree = 14%
- Strongly disagree = 75%
