Are you advocating Arsenal ditch Wenger to bring in a new manager because of his lack of success for the last 7 years.
They have never finished outside the top 4 and built a new state of the art stadium during this period.
All this without spending crazy money on players and selling for big profits when they let some go.
Stylish football too. I would say Wenger has done pretty well overall.
We have won trophies but almost went in administration during the same period and are still
playing in ranshackled ground that isnt fit for purpose.
On the whole our transfer dealings have been poor and costly.
Cups are great like but football simply isnt all about cups and great achievements can be
made without lifting a trophy.
Arsenal will finish above us again this year by the way.
I think using arsenal as an example is not a very good one to be honest. In real terms what has finishing in the top 4 done for them?
They have a new stadium. So what? It generates more income. What for? As you said they make profits and dont spend it stupidly on players, yet the players they have dont win anything. So what is the point?
They finish above us again. But without a trophy. Again.
Arsenal are the perennial also rans who have a shiny stadium and a great manager with class players and fu'ck all to show for it.
