Wenger might not be backed by his notoriously old-fashioned and obstinate board, and day-by-day that seems to be the case, and indeed, Mr. Arsenal himself has declared that today, with Adams claiming that the board continue to stand Wenger up whilst they puff their cigars in the boardroom (not exactly his words, but to that effect anyway).
But that doesn't absolve Wenger from blame, not at all, not with his promises and not if he knew that Barry would be available for significantly less than what he paid to secure Arshavin's services back in January.
Which brings me onto the title at the top of this page, and I'm sure the not so intellectually gifted amongst us will have sussed what I'm on to by now.
David Dein said it two years ago, and it cost him his job with the Club he loves, the Club whose work he didn't view as a job, but out of passion and loyalty, the Club in which he played a central role into transforming into the giants that we are today.
Now, we can all see what he meant, and how we risk losing our status as a major force in European football should we continue with our mediocre pursuit of glory, and with our scouts being worked overtime, and without even coming up with the necessary goods.
There is only one way it seems for Arsenal to be where we all think we should be, and there is no shame in following the trend set by many, the one that has helped the likes of Chelsea and United achieve so much, and that threatens to help Villa, and more tellingly, City, jump ahead of us. Never has the saying "if you can't beat them, join them" been truer!
And, with a mere 1.5 percent away from owning everything that is Arsenal, I say one thing before the summer is up and it's too late once again, COME IN MR. KROENKE!
We're going to send you the most entertaining Arsenal articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
