Sticking the boot into anyone with problems is just low and crass.

I read Tony Adams's book a while ago now and that Arsenal team pre. Wenger was a nightmare. In fact, Wenger helped a lot of the players he inherited, Adams included. I'd say Wenger was instrumental in introducing discipline within football at the time. He was a manager who understood Duty of Care.
