I’ve seen people suggest that if he really cared, or he wanted what was best for the club, he’d call it quits and walk away, but that’s not how it works. Managers don’t operate like that, and Arsene Wenger is not unique in that regard. They almost always think they can win the next game, then go on a bit of a run and make things better again.
Managers rarely resign, they’re almost always sacked, and I don’t see why anyone would expect anything different from Wenger. It’s that belief in their own ability, that self-confidence, perhaps even arrogance, that makes them top level managers in the first place, and while he can’t be blind to what’s happening, he’ll also back himself to put it right.
That’s why it’s pointless getting angry at him for not walking away, and anger should be directed a ‘board’ and a majority shareholder who are letting this gaping wound fester. Not a single Arsenal board member represented the club at Brighton yesterday. Did Ivan Gazidis have something better to do than, you know, his actual job? Tell you what, I’d hate to play hide and seek with that guy because he clearly has powers of invisibility. Like some kind of master spy he’s seen only when he wants to be seen.
