No man is bigger than a football club not even Arsene. He is rewarded handsomely by the club so it's not like he is working out of the goodness of his heart. He has brought this on himself by giving the impression that he is happy to settle for the 4th place trophy every season despite the immense resources.
I am not saying that, of course no manager is bigger than a club, never will be, but I am highlighting the class. I think its clear the Wenger time is up at Arsenal but even as the sworn enemy I can stand here and say I respect the job he has done at Arsenal, I would even as a footballing person cast huge respect on finishing 2nd last season in a footballing climate where the more respected managers gain respect by spunking a shed load of cash, see for me within the criticism lies what he has done.
Is he happy to just finish 4th? I think one of the biggest piles you hear in football, of course he is not, I sense that Wenger as a real Arsenal man hurts as much as anyone not winning things, but I also think he is protective of whats needed to run a club, Emirates Marketing Project are the future, maybe, but for every squad they have bought in the last 5 years they have shed the same number of players, within one or two seasons for less cash than they were purchased, Bony would be a live example, times that by 25+ players and you have Emirates Marketing Project as a culture, yes they win things, yes that is the name of the game, but once you enter that arena of how to run a club thats it, your soul is sold and there is no going back, so I can see why the club and Wenger do as they do, and to be fair they do it pretty well. For me its the clambour of 5 superstar multimiliion £ players that is wrong.
I liken it to us, I don't ever want to see they day we act like that, yes I want to see good players, yes I want to see us invest in the team, but I want to do it within the class that I believe we have always operated in, as soon as we lose that for a culture like some tacoy Arsenal fans demand, I am off
