Arsenal's Time For Change

A year ago I sat on the fence. Even after a lack of movement in the transfer windows (despite key players out with lengthy injuries), some big losses in the Premier League and in the Champions League (e.g. Bayern), and predictable tactics (no Plan B?), I continued to give Wenger the benefit of the doubt. But this season has been another year of disappointment and appears to be filled with the same mistakes. I can't help think the only reason we're still in the FA Cup is because we've had another lucky draw against weak opposition (e.g. Sutton and Lincoln). We won't put four goals past Bayern on Tuesday. We might not get fourth place in the league. We may even lose Alexis in the summer transfer window. Even if we do win the FA Cup, I think Wenger has to move on. It'd be nice if he could step down after winning the FA Cup a record number of times, but it seems likely he'll leave empty handed. He's done some amazing things for the club, and he should be remembered and respected, but his time has to be up.
