Last season I gave up my season ticket and encouraged fellow Gooners on this website not to renew and carry on being cheated by a club which is ripping them off with a substandard team, a manager who was lost the plot and the highest ticket prices in the world. I received pages of abuse on the onlinegooner forum as dozens of Wenger apologists flocked to his defence.

But how can anyone who sat through Wenger's Time Bandits being crushed by Chelski believe he will ever turn this situation around? In your heart of hearts can you really see him lifting a major trophy again? Now slap yourself, smell the coffee and try again.

Wenger has amassed the most unbalanced and one-dimenional squad in the history of world football. Nasri, Rosicky, Cesc, Ramsey, Wilshere, Eduardo, Vela, Arshavin, Denilson, and Merida. These are all basically the same player!! Their advert would read: 5ft plus 20-something, two-footed, likes short passing, dislikes tackling or shooting, seeks older man to play them 'in the hole'. Cesc must think he is having a 'matrix' like dream where he has woken up playing on a pitch surrounded by inferior clones of himself!

And why - because these are the types of players Wenger likes. It’s Wenger who is the problem - not the players. What little money he has had he has spent on buying the types of players he likes and not the players which we need and which would actually strengthen and balance the team. No other club in the world would sentimentally indulge their manager in this way and allow him to experiment with the team year after year without success.

Most Gooners are dismayed with the squad, recognise the weaknesses across the pitch and yet bafflingly still back the manager. I met one after the Chelski debacle. "Embarassing" he said to me. "Yeah, Wenger's got to go," I said. "No I don't agree," he said "Who do you replace him with?" came the familiar response.

This has been the strongest argument of the pro-Wenger camp for years with no real candidates of the necessary stature around to replace him. Until now. Guus Hiddink is available and has all the attributes you could wish for - he has won everything (including the European Cup with PSV), got South Korea to the semi-finals of the World Cup, and plays attractive football. Above all he is a pragmatist who knows how to balance a team, drill a defence, play the percentages and not chase an impossible dream. Could you imagine Wenger coaching South Korea? (They might actually be a bit tall for his liking...) They would have passed themselves straight into a first round exit!

Now I am not naive enough for a minute to think that Arsenal's board would ever sack Wenger - they haven't got the balls - but at some point a line has to be drawn and I think Wenger will draw it himself. At the end of the season if we have no silverware again I think he will do he right thing and fall on his sword. And if he is still available I think Hiddink would be the perfect candidate - for God’s sake, he even got Florent Malouda playing!
