This board seems to be divided between the 'Anti Wenger' and the 'Pro Wenger' brigade, understandably so.

Personally, I am pro Wenger, but its beginning to wear thin.

I hate to mention the man, because he's a nasty piece of work, but you have to admire Mourinho.

He took charge of Chelsea last season, and admitted straight away, "I need a year to sort this team out".

Fast forward 12 months and the Mourinho revolution begins.

He is a master at assessing his teams weaknesses and strengths.
He is a master at assessing his players weaknesses and strengths.

He is ruthless, getting rid of Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Samuel Eto'o, and to a lesser extent, Lukaku.
He also sells David Luiz.

He Brings in Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, Filipe Luis and Courtois.

He has got rid of the players he regarded as deadwood and brought in terrific players.

Got rid of weaknesses and brought in strength.

And without hardly spending a penny.

He has turned them into title outsiders to title favourites.

How?
Because the man is ruthless.
He does what is needed to strengthen.

He has no problem offloading players if it means making Chelsea a better team.

Should Wenger be more like Mourinho?

Should he offload Arteta, Flamini, Diaby, Coquelin, Podolski, Campbell etc?

Is Wenger too nice, to the detriment of AFC?

Wenger being "too nice" has spread across the board too.
Your right about Mourinho's ruthlessness but it helps when the owner/board have that same or similar ruthlessness or winning mentality. IF Wenger was to go, the whole club would need a makeover in my opinion. They will have to change their "4th place will do" attitude". Because they will find out shortly after interviewing managerial candidates that it will take a lot of spending and ruthlessness in shipping out players at our club to get it back to a position where we can win the league.

Arsenals problem in a strange way is we think far too long term. Do you think Abramovich thinks beyond this season? They are even towing the line with their spending.

Too nice or too stubborn?
Arsene's arrogance in refusing to be wrong has been and is increasingly becoming our major weakness.
I'm ever so grateful to him and don't want him sacked because that would be wrong but his refusal to allow his mind to be changed on anything has been and continues to be our biggest problem.
