RE: Are We Really Surprised??

in #football7 years ago

Personally, I feel Wenger began to overstay his welcome after the set of players who came after the invincible began to leave the team one after the other due to lack of competitiveness. The likes of Samir Nasri, Alexandr Hleb,Cesc Fabregas, Gael Clichy and Co.

Wenger has failed to evolve into modern football he still approaches management with the same style he used with the likes of Patrick Viera and Dennis Bergkamp.

He should have left immediately after the debt of the Emirates stadium was settled. That was the time Arsenal needed him the most and he delivered. I must confess, he has done great but refusing to leave when the ovation was still manageably high was his greatest undoing. He's like a father figure to these players whereas, what they need is someone to fire their innermost sense, someone who can come down to their level we see the way Conte, Klopp and Guardiola do with their players, that's the spirit the Arsenal players need. Even Diego Simeon isn't bad.

Another problem Arsenal have which I think is what is still giving Arsene his job is the fact that major shareholder, Stan Kroenke has refused to sell his shares to Alisher Usmanov who is ready to spend on the team, unlike him who is only concerned about the business end of Arsenal. As long as Arsenal continue to take in the billions, Kroenke is less concerned about what transpired in the trophy room at the expense of the fans and faithfuls. Even former Chairman, Peter Hill Wood gas come out to say Wenger has overstayed and if something isn’t changed at the top, Arsenal is just beginning to go down the drain.

PS: I’m a thorough Arsenal blood
