dream team
I don’t follow football, I support Preston North End. Boom, boom!
Apart from his inability to ever witness any misdemeanour committed by his players and even though he masterminded our exit from this year’s FA Cup competition, I’ve always thought Arsene Wenger a decent enough gentleman. Measured, loyal, intelligent and diligent, he’s obviously done a sterling job for Arsenal but it’s time for him to bow-out with grace and dignity. Crashing-out of the Champions League last week 10-2 on aggregate against Bayern Munich was a shocker and surely signals the end for the manager. In fact, Arsene is lucky that Barcelona’s miraculous comeback against PSG took pride of place on both front & back covers, reducing his loss to the inside sheets.
The current Arsenal team is simply not performing for, not playing for, the manager and changes need to be made. As a club they are failing to compete against those they wish to be measured against and something’s got to give. The same thing happens in business. Once high-performing teams stutter, and it’s often only a matter of time before they inevitably implode and fail. New blood and a fresh, totemic leader is the order of the day. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
Wenger is now yesterday’s man. To hear him weakly claim that “In the last nine years we were only once the worst team performing in the Champions league from England” shows how the mighty has fallen. You could not imagine those words ever being spoken by the ‘hair-drier’ or ‘the special one’ let alone Bill Shankly, Brian Clough, Matt Busby or Bob Paisley. Every team has its ups & downs, its share of the rub of the green, but 10-2… Some argue that Arsene has been on borrowed time for several years and owes his tenure to the careful husbandry of a club in transition and ensuring the continuation of Champions League football. Within a mercenary, fickle sporting world, and irrespective of his £8m salary, Arsenal have been dutiful and steadfast to Arsene and it has been truly reciprocated. Yes, Arsenal will miss him but the time for a new manager is nigh.
Mind, I did feel a little sorry for last season’s superhero, Claudio Ranieri, as, if there were one manager who deserved a bit of give-and-take, it was surely Tinkerman. From the highpoint of last season, this one was perhaps a disappointment but in the context of Leicerster City, it was business as normal. In fact, it’s still OK as they remain in the Champions League and, having just drawn Athletico Madrid, have a good a chance of progressing to the semi’s as anyone. However, in one fell swoop, everyone’s second-favourite team have squandered their place in the nation’s heart and, I suspect, not many will celebrate any further successes. The players have both performed and behaved poorly and need to accept their responsibility and role in this debacle. Another nail in the beautiful game’s coffin.
