A letter to Arsene Wenger: have you lost your way?

|

Whatever the reason, since 2006 we haven’t seen the Arsenal that you were so intent on creating. When you look at the team of old, compared to the team of today, there are just two players that who look like they belong, and they are Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla.

This season has been a real turning point for Arsenal. The team and your career all are suffering  and there seems to be no solution or even an attempt to change anything on your part. Since September you have admitted that you are responsible for the financial vision at the club, you have sole control over player’s wages and who you buy, you pick the team, the tactics, you hold the training sessions and you are also responsible for the football that has been played this season.

Has it become too much for you to handle? Have you been caught up in the control so much that you can’t see where you are going wrong? We are in the midst of our worst season under you and our worst season in 30 years, you are persisting with sub-standard players, you make crazy substitutions and even your match reports leave a lot to be desired. The flashes of brilliance are getting fewer and far between now and when is enough enough?

You have made some bad choices in the last few years and this has led to a huge number of fans losing their faith in you, myself included. I lost my faith in the summer when you sold RVP and didn’t replace him well enough. You have divided fans in their opinion of you and your fans are now the minority amongst those who want you to leave. We went from being a winning club to being a mid-table feeder club that wants to be rich. This season has been frustrating and painful for Arsenal fans to endure. It hasn’t been just a couple of bad games, it’s almost every game…We just want our Arsenal playing good football again.

You look tired Arsene. You look like a man who has fallen out of love and doesn’t know how to end the relationship. We know that look because we feel it ourselves as fans. This isn’t personal, I can assure you it’s purely football. I thank you for all the history, achievements and memories but now it’s time for you to go.

    SSYCOLOGICALLY (Psychologically) replace him with who? Guardiola? There is no Messi/Xavi/Iniesta combination at AFC right now, even if there is, the last time Guardiola takes a rest from futbol, he failed with the mighty trio.

  • Tov Jesse says:

    I think its time for Arsene to throw in the towel and say goodbye to Arsenal fans. We have had enough of his ruse. We have younger coaches who posses the know how to play beautiful football, win trophies and still make huge profit. I can’t wait to have Pep Gaurdiola as the Gunners coach. One love

  • pst joe says:

    The problem wit wenger is that as soon as he sold the invisible team and saw MONEY and realize that more money could come from such venture, then his focus change from football to business and he started to do business. the truth of the mater is that wenger can not stop again,he now behave like a POKER MAN, to buy player is difficult for him, he will price the player and devalue the player. ALL THIS mind games in d transfer market doesn’t benefit ARSENAL status, Danba ba WAS sign for just 2 days no noise just 7MILLION wenger over look him for his fellow country man. The situation ARSENAL find itself IS PATHETIC.

    We are only wasting our time because the man will never change his attitude is better to forget about the club for sometime until things are back to normal though who knows for how long because wenger and the board with their foolish attitude can give one hypertension

  • Sameric says:

    Pathetic, Souless Bown, Useless Board, Boring pass-pass stuff, nothing exciting anymore, just Wenger passing half lies from day to day and insulting us, while that clown Hill-Wood justs sees us as Plebs.

  • s j little says:

    By the way, who is the most uninspiring looking Manager on the touch line? Why Mr Wenger, of course, no wonder his team look so lost and forsaken of ideas!

  • Emeka says:

    I blame d stupid fans paying there hard earn money on ticket to watch arsenal play

  • Well done, Wenger you will only love to be remembered for good things you did tnx but better leave and let the arsenal fans be happy and win a trophy.

  • Brighton says:

    The problem here is that Wenger has got a big ego. He wants to make a record by winning the league and the champs league with the cheapest assembled team. For those of us who understand human behaviour, we know that achieving this fit will mean the world to Wenger. The question though is whether fans should be help ransom to Wenger’s personal desire or that he must balance the act here. We have suffered a lot and desperately need a trophy to boost morale. I am slowly getting tired of Wenger’s mind games, we are also intelligent and can discern trends, this talk of ” we will only buy if we get exceptional talent” is very frustrating because that is his mantra to say we not buying at all. Why are we too afraid of change?

  • Sadoro says:

    No!!! Wait! Lets say the cause of the club in failure is Arsene but the must problem is the “BOARD” Arsene provides them the betterment they want and they leave the fans in bad mood. So ask the BOARD for what deserves on the pitch and lets wait nd see what will result out. Tnx.

  • I.P. of South Africa. says:

    For at least the last 4 to 5 seasons during the transfer window we have heard our great manager, Professor Wenger, tell the world that he, (Arsenal), does not just buy good players but that he scouts the world for exceptional players. These “exceptional” players that Wenger bought are the likes of Gervinhio, Squillaci, Djouro, Giroud, Fabianski, Ramsey, etc. From these choices of Wenger it is abundantly clear that his “exceptional” does not relate to the player’s footballing ability, but his price and the player’s willingness to be indoctrinated by professor Wenger.
    What a chaotic club our Arsenal has turned into under the professor!!!!!

  • vikinduku says:

    arsene is outdated, he has to go before the whole structure collapses… he is the highest paid managwr in england, and third in the world but his tea. ssm has won zilch in the past five years. who sells a player like rvp for a mere 20m? cazorla was a decent buy, but the girouds, ppodolskis, gervinhos of this world r for struggling teams like west ham….
