Wenger can have a role... but losing him wasn't ever the problem, it was replacing him with the wrong people and buying the wrong players (not sure if you're saying we should've never fired Wenger)
I don't think anyone expects it, but we hope for it... Just as I hoped we'd come out of this break knowing how to play, sorely mistakenThis summer might be the biggest in the clubs history but does anyone trust the management in charge to make the correct decisions in the transfer market?
Their track record so far has been abysmal, nothing suggests that there are going to be any improvements. The whole structure at the club is a mess and they’ve made the same mistakes as Ivan Gazidis by letting our key players (Auba & Saka) run down their contracts.
Don’t let them fool you, nothing has changed.
They have cut more corners than Gazidis did in his time. I can not remember us relying on loans like we've done for this season, or on free transfers and cheap rejects under him. He had his faults, he was stingy, but even our windows which were terrible never had this stench of bargain bin buysGuys like Raul and Vinai are clowns.
Kane post injury looks unfit, lethargic and really not that good. Let's see.The thing about them sacking Mourinho is that they are far better placed than we are to succeed. Kane alone costs about as much as our whole team
We are well away from the quality of City and Pool and Chelsea have just gone and added Werner, Ziyech and are about to add Havertz.We finished one point off top four last season; have some perspective. I know results are bad but it's the same as everyone else.
This... This is why we are falling behind. We are WWWAAAAYYY off this season. Chelsea has gone through a transfer ban and is now buying stars for next year. Tott is ahead of of and likely not losing much, Man U will only add, Man City we're nowhere close to, Liverpool we're nowhere close toWe are well away from the quality of City and Pool and Chelsea have just gone and added Werner, Ziyech and are about to add Havertz.

Then add Leicester and Wolves who I think are better than us
This is the issue, mate. We are 6 points off 5th. This would have been a failure in 2009-2013 when we couldn't spend, let alone now when we supposedly can.We are 6 points off 5th place not 20 points; I know we're far away from challenging the elite sides but my point is all our rivals for top five have been inconsistent too and there's only five points between 10th-5th.
Despite our current performance's fans should remember this.

And it's not okay. We are supposed to at least try for titles, not just top four. And now even top four is far away. We are 8 points off top 4 and have 40 points in 30 games. That is not good enough. No way.
The difference is that we got top 4 in 2013 and in every one of those years. We will not this year. Next year, we challenged till Feb for the title. We did the same in the two seasons after that.In 2013 we were 10 points off fourth with five matches to go and what happened? Plus the competition is harder nowadays.
I know it's not good enough for a stature of our club but other teams are also struggling not only Arsenal.

And that's just the thing,it shows we've gone backwards.
Right. Which of our players would get into United and Chelsea's teams? I'll give you Spuds because I can't wait to see Jose sacked either[
Right, but fans/pundits wrote us off in 2013 and every other year too.
I don't think we'll get this year neither because of Wolves' form but don't try to make out like we are miles off Chelsea, United and Sp**s because thats clearly not true.
