ARSENAL, WHY ARSEN?

Arsen Wenger is English Premiere League's long serving manager who has been managing Arsenal for more that twenty years now. That being so, it can be argued that no club has a better stability than the gunners. Anyone would expect that with such an experience, the manager would be winning titles every other season or at least frequently, like the former Manchester United manger Sir Alex Ferguson did. Since his time with the invincibles, Arsen and Arsenal have not won the premiere league and they stayed for nine years before winning a trophy. Other clubs like Chelsea have been hiring and firing managers but getting the results either way. The last decade has seen Chelsea, Leicester City and Manchester city becoming more successful as compared to Arsenal.

The question is, why Arsen? Does Arsenal really want to compete? Do they want silverware in their cabinets or their cabinets are full of trophies? Has the club developed a philosophy of not wanting to win? What is the problem?

Arsen has been accused of being mean. He does not prefer buying expensive players and has a history of developing young players then selling them to other willing clubs. This way, he ends up making an easy profit. A closer analysis at his philosophy would convince any investor to stick by this. Investors want profits unless they have a real passion towards the game. Staying trophy less and believing in the same man making you trophy less even kills the supporters' mojo.

Football is about money, is about winning, loosing and is also about the smell of the grass, sweat and the silverware. The supporters are the reason the money comes. Impress them. Arsenal Fc's rivals, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Westham have invested in getting new managers, all in search of the silverware. Some  are now reaping from that. Leicester invested in Claudio Ranieri and are now EPL Champions, Tottenham under Pochetino finished in an unfamiliar position and so are Westham. Arsenal have the chance of poaching better managers like Diego Simeone, they lost on Ancelotti and Benitez. In fact, Newcastle's step in acquiring the services of Benitez, if he decides to stay might be enjoyed in the coming season when they come back to the EPL, because they will absolutely qualify and come back. This is a step they should have taken earlier enough. Perharps they would have been still in the league.

Arsenal should be careful with their priorities lest they be regretting in the coming season or two. If all their competitors are acquiring services of better performing managers, then this should sound an alarm to them. Chelsea were reluctant in buying more players when they won the league and what happened to them in defending the league was unforsean. Haven't Arsenal learnt anything thus far!? It's time to change, if you don't change, change will change you gunners!
