He is a moaning w**ker but he is also a top manager IMO. He has built a fantastic team on a shoestring budget. He has kept them challenging while all the money available was being used on the stadium.
Things looked so good a few months ago. After that defeat in the carling cup final, things have just gone from bad to worse. Out of every trophy now and the fans are growing impatient.
I hope he gets one more season, but this time he gets money to spend and they force him to spend. Before the latest takeover, there were loads of shareholders who didn't invest much. Give him money to spend and he'll build you a world class team. Although I do feel he should have brought in a defensive coach to help them out.
Things are starting to look glim at the Emirates ATM. Fabregas latest comments about them needing to challenge for trophies and Nasri and Clichy contract talks arent going to plan. I can easily see all 3 leaving this summer, I would happily take a couple of them.
The problem with Wegner is that he doesn't admit his own teams problems. He always finds someone or something else to blame rather then himself or his own team. Until he starts realizing this and start admitting it then Arsenal will not be winning.
This should be a crucial summer for Arsenal due to key players are unhappy and Arsenal is not as attractive an offer as it was 12 months ago, hey even a couple months ago Arsenal looked like the team who were places. For the last few years we've been saying this is a key summer and they do very little business. I expect the same. They have a new American owner who would be more then happy finishing second every year and getting champions league money and high match day tickets. Don't they have the highest ticket prices out of any clubs on Europe?
I do have sympathy for Arsenal fans, they've been very patient with Wegner and their patience is wearing thin. Bored of listening to the same excuses over and over again. They aren't kids no more, they've got players entering their prime now.
I feel that Arsenal can go a similar way we've gone, from a team challenging to honors to a team that is very poor. I think it has already started IMO, players wanting to leave, fans unhappy, new American owner who can easily be another disaster for football.
If Wenger was managing us and we were in Arsenal's position, I would give him 1 more season and force him to spend money in the summer. To long have the boardroom been worrying about the financial side of things. The fans pay a lot of money to watch Arsenal, I think their due to have some of that money put back into the team.
