But you've never supported Wenger. As long as you've been on here you've been slagging him off even when we've done well. There is a difference though between blindly supporting him and still thinking he is the best man for the job. No one is happy with the last couple of years but I, and others, want him to change the strategy and the management of the entire club to be more focused on the team.
You complain that we missed out in 2008 but the other way to look at it is the quality of the team he built on hardly any money. He has actually built three teams at Arsenal - the first double winning side, the Invincibles and the FĂ*bregas' era team. This current team is not one of them. Since that players from the FĂ*bregas era have departed (2010) we've been a bit hectic and, frankly, a mess but Wenger still got that shower to third place in the league and successively past the group stages of the Champions League. Something that is no small achievement considering Chelsea and United have both failed to do that in recent years.
So instead I want Wenger to build the forth team of his management. He has earned the right to do that, not only because of the titles he has won but how he coped under the debt of the stadium and kept us in the Champions League whilst building that third team that broke up too soon. We have the elements there, the English core of Wilshere, Chamberlain and such but now we need that process to be faster with some bigger buys more akin to the Invincible Era than the FĂ*bregas era.
The current team isn't good enough, the new owner isn't good enough, and these results are not good enough. We have two world class assets at the club: Wenger and the stadium. Let's use them to build a new team starting this transfer window.

Because we're not competing on the pitch we just saw a pretty crap deal come through the door with Emirates. You may find its good but I think its poor. Our upcoming kit deal is said to be around the 20m mark, if thats true then thats poor too! I want to see Arsenal competing and with that will see our 'business' peak. Mis-bloody-management!

It wasn't just me who said the Emirates deal was good. Everybody was saying it. You may think it's poor but you're, with respect, not an expert on commence. So unless you can point to similar clubs with better deals (note it's only United who've done better) then we have to take that complaint with a bit of salt.
