A good semi retirement gig. I wish he had left Arsenal sooner and saved us the heartache of a protracted transition to wherever.
I expected you to show up with your usual "I wish he'd left earlier."
He's left and what have you done since then? Stay there and be wishing he'd left earlier instead of giving the man his due respect. When you finish, go back to your club and tell us your next wish.
It should have been obvious to all but the swindled of heart that he was done ages ago.
Since he left did any top club come calling? If not why?
We all knew he had lost the passion for the dugout and was more of a corporate man. But mba...my Arsenal bredren still thought that like Lazarus his career would rise from the dead.
I had always known that Arsenal needed major root and branch surgery. He was just one plank of a hydra headed systemic problem.
The major issue is the club owner. My argument about Wenger is that by him staying on as long as he did without succession planning, he was complicit in the decay that set in after his and the club's glory years. What is so hard to grasp?
