Klaus that may be true but people bash Wenger for a similar situation. Of course it's different as we're a much bigger club
Yes our finances are a stratosphere away from Wigan's but the Arsenal team has been under-invested for years now, especially last summer. Forget all the money we make, the majority of that isn't reinvested into the team.
So when we get dragged into a battle for 4th is it Wenger's fault, the board or the owners?
I don't think the likes of Mourinho, Ferguson and Wenger get as much control over their respective clubs as people think, see the board going over Wenger's head and selling Nasri last summer or Abramovich sacking Mourinho.
Either certain managers work with one hand tied behind their back and should be praised for getting their team out of trouble or it's his mess that he had to clean up
