Not all Arsenal fans wanted the club to have a new manager at the helm next season, as was made clear by the less than united protests that we saw against Arsene Wenger last season. There was a clear increase in the frustration of Arsenal fans though.
So when the club and manager agreed a new contract extension there was some anger but a lot more of us hoping that there would be at least a change of tack. So far I have to say I am struggling to see it but at the same time I appreciate that the Frenchman is no fool and must have realised that he is on borrowed time.
I do not agree with those Arsenal fans who say that Wenger is simply collecting a pay check. Any real football observer accepts that this man is obsessed with the game and stuck on his club, even if they believe he is gettibng it wrong.
That is why I think we should relax a bit and give Le prof a chance to show his mettle, in the summer transfer window but more importantly in the season to come. I really do believe that next season will be different and that last season will have stung Wenger badly.
How do you guys see the next season panning out for Arsenal?
