Unless of course you thought Arsene was bigger than the club
We can't have it both ways !! Either Wenger was to blame for our poor performances (tactics and prep), poor state of medical rehabilitation, poor purchases, scouting, lack of defensive coaching etc etc, the very things we complained Wenger was either bad at or too controlling over, or he wasn't.
We all said he had too much control at the club, one of the big criticisms. How are you going to now come and say he didn't have too much control ? Why were we all (including you) complaining that he was behaving like a dictator and won't relinquish full control to and let others help ?
The reason we are in decline is because of Wenger only, performances on the pitch are down to Wenger and Wenger's vision, nobody else.
Bollocks was it.
It was kronkes fault for persisting with the sustainable model when ffp was a busted flush.
Kronke and the boards fault for not having the restructure in place in time, meaning they still needed Wenger to have a hand in all pies until this season.
Kronke and the boards fault for not having the balls to shift Wenger earlier
The boards fault for never replacing the Dein role all those years.
If it all goes tits up with emery or anyone else, some people will be still out here blaming emery for everything while they fail to hold the actual businessmen who make the decisions for the club responsible.
Wengers not responsible for the 50m budget we are walking into the summer with right now and he's never been able to set how much budget we have to spend per window.
Same applied for the last 22 years.
What madness am I seeing here ??? Every fault lies with Wenger. Tactical stupidity and naiveness, over paying mediocre players, low-balling clubs for others, playing players out of position. Refusing to acknowledge deficiencies in the squad. Not focusing on strengths and weaknesses of the opposition, arrogance, poor defensive ability due to non-existent defensive training.
None of this is the fault of Kroenke.
