How terribly sad... we have fallen so far that we find ourselves in the ridiculous position of propping up the oft - injured and rarely inspirational Jack Wiltshire... what
's next, extending Walcott, Welbeck and Ramsey... can't you see that these players have nothing to do with winning and all to do with providing recognizable names to the plastic fans who frequent our overgrown library of a stadium... it
's high time we rid this club of one of the worlds most incompetent and unsuccessful owners (look it up) and our
fragile and spineless manager (much like our club) who can't bring in the best talent because he knows he can't
live up to expectations that come with players of that ilk... think about it, he couldn't even handle Sanchez, who
was largely a periphery character in Barcelona
I
'm so sick of people telling those of us who
are disgruntled fans to relax and give this club time to correct itself... for anyone who believes that taking a wait - and - see approach
is appropriate at this juncture they should take a good long look at themselves in the mirror because they
are a big part of the problem... no other «big» club
's fans would stand for this shit for nearly as long as we have... think about it, we've witnessed a changing of the guard at every major club in England, Spain, France and Germany in the last several years because those «big» clubs failed to
live up to expectations (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, ManU, ManCity etc...)... for some reason, many fans have become as
fragile as our current manager, believing that there couldn't possibly
be a suitable replacement, even though everyone of these clubs have found multiple replacements and still achieved far more than our club... this mindset has
been created by an organization that has
been milking it
's fans, telling countless lies (no world class players available) and lowering expectations every since they rolled out the biggest lie of all: that we couldn't spend because of the new stadium but once it
was paid off we could compete with any team in the world... this organization
is rotting from the inside out and if we don't demand that those in charge put soccer first this despicable behaviour won't end with Wenger
's ridiculous 2 year contract... I think the real fear isn't that a suitable replacement doesn't exist, but that this organization
is so money hungry and poorly mismanaged that we will sink even lower by choosing our next coach the same way they choose our players, on the cheap... even so, we need to see what mustache will do if left to his own devices so he will have to show his true colours... only then can we purge this club and start anew
