It Isn't His Job To "Improve The English Game"
His job is to manage Arsenal.
Their Board, shareholders etc, the very great majority of their fans want a winning team. That's Wengers brief, not to bring on young English players. Infact, when most of the big Prem sides have little or no interest in the national game and side anyway (all this bulls**t about how we should "support the English sides Europe"-yes, you Tyldesly, creaming your pants at Old Trafford & Drury at Anfield), why the fek should we, you don't support your own team week in, week out, then just "have" to support Arsenal because they are playing a foreign team, are they representing England, NO!!! They are representing Arsenal, period, and story, end of.
So how on earth can we expect people like Wenger to have some sort of responsibility to do something for England and the English game? The responsibility of the English game is down to its governing bodies, the most powerful of which proposing that they play a 39th game in the Cities that make the highest bid!
You can't have a go at Wenger who's only responsibility is Arsenal when the REAL people who should be looking out for the English game are in it for anything but that!
