What depresses me is the man's inability to take any responsibility. I was basically ok with ticking over in the top 4 while waiting for the commercial deals to improve, but here we are now wondering whether we can hold on to sixth, and Mr I-have-managed-1200- games is wondering why his side is utter toilet on the road, as if it cannot possibly have anything to do with him.
He says that every decision he makes is for the good of the club, as if he is some kind of infallible pope-like being, who cannot distinguish between himself and the club and cannot for a second comprehend the notion that being very very good at something once does not mean that you stay very very good at it for ever.
You've upset me now. Mr Trent. I was hoping that he'd be eased out in the summer.
It is at least nice to know that he isnt deliberately making bad decisions to sabotage the club, even if some of them appear that way.
If I was manager I would believe that every decision that I made was in the interest of the club. Almost all of them would be wrong, of course, and the only one that would genuinely benefit the club would be my decision to resign.
Wenger is in a very similar position. Surely even he can see that he needs to leave......I am stil stunned that he signed up for another two years. He had a great chance to walk away with a shred of dignity and turned it down.
