‘I identified myself completely with the club – that was the mistake I made,’ said Wenger, as per the Telegraph.
 ‘My fatal flaw is I love too much where I am… where I was. I regret it. I should have gone somewhere else. Sometimes I wonder – was something broken after that Invincible season?’ said Wenger. 

2007 was a decisive point. It was the first time I could feel there were tensions inside the board. I was torn between being loyal to the club and being loyal to David [Dein]. I still today wonder if I did the right thing because life was never exactly the same after. I thought, “I have now to go to the end of this project”. I could have gone to the French national team. The English national team twice or three times even. I could have gone twice to Real Madrid. I could have gone to Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, even Man United.’
