THE WENGER THREAD

[northbank123]

Feel quite reassured that he’s not going to go about picking his own successor or any bollocks like that.

Looks like a clean break to me.

I do believe that a lot of people said vote with your feet, I certainly did in 2008. Just shows how long suffering and how bad it had to get another 10 years ---------------------------------------to push a majority over the edge. So glad it's over, he's sucked the joy out of Arsenal, but not anymore. I can literally feel a buss in the air here in London, fantastic day for fantastic news.

I'm a miserable fucker i know but i wont be celebrating until the day he finally walks out the club forever, i don't trust him or the club, but then it'll be a Rodders style party!!

It'd be just like us to go and win the Europa and then for the Owner/Board/CEO have a change of heart due to the excellent end of the season and him remain as they've decided he's the right man for the job after all and bear in mind it would be their decision and he'd be all contrite and self-depricating with 'after a lot of persuasion and soul searching i've decided to remain to serve the club i love for the next 50 years!!'

Ohhh Gawd! I hope you're right mate. <fingerscrossed>

It would be worse if Arteta was made manager, because Wenger would have a direct line to Arteta and would still be involved. Not to mention Arteta is too like minded and would carry on the 'principles' of Wenger.

The early reports are Vieira & I could certainly live with that. Given the type of player he was, he would understand the need for players like him - players Wenger neglected since ironically, Vieira left.

I’ll be glad to see the back of this thread and hopefully a return to happier times on this forum.

I honestly didn’t think he’d go till next year but am glad to be wrong.

Mixed emotions today though. Definitely the right thing for the club but so sad that it had to get so bad for the change to happen. Personally I’ll remember him with a mix of fondness, despair, dislike and ultimately disdain. I can’t say hatred though. I reserve that for nonces and Scum fans. Which reminds me, I must do the spot the difference on the back of this months Puzzler magazine.

Great news for the future of the club, and hopefully great news for the future of the forum as well

We might actually see a return of a few old members and mods too eh

Did you miss me Augie??? don't tell me you're gettin warm and fuzzy in yer old age cos that would be no fun!

[markyp]

At long last we might get to see the best from ozil every game, imagine laca aub and ozil deployed properly,add to that Ramsey, bellerin in fact the whole squad playing in their rightful positions with tactics, I can't wait, just hope it's a big name manager comjng in not a viera, Henry or Arteta type who clearly aren't ready just because they know the Arsenal way, this is a massive summer for Arsenal, they'd better be thinking big, if they aren't and appoint a half baked fuckwit we will know we are now a small club permanent

[Offside]

Finally

I thought he'd never leave. Hopefully a few of the players who've been on the Wenger gravy train for too long will shape up or ship out. My main fear is that he's been allowed to stay too long that we've missed the best opportunity to put ourselves in a strong position.

My thoughts and feelings too. Except the Puzzler bit....

I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Arsene Wenger for the positive things he did for the club. My biggest gripe which I'm sure I'm not alone in is that he overstayed his tenure.
Now that he's finally done the right thing and said he will step down at the end of this season I all of a sudden feel a renewed passion for the club.

I wanted results to go against us or protests or anything to get rid of him but now there's no need for any of that .
I hope we can win the Europa now as before he made this announcement I really didn't care.

i know I've said some harsh things about him but in fairness I believed them to be correct at the time of postings.

Anyway, thank you Arsene.

Ivan doing his press conference now:

Wenger is still taken credit for George Weah getting elected and apparently we are in a better position now than when he took over.....

Sorry mate there is a Wenger thread. Merged.

Not sure the tone from Ivan was what was wanted, too many if buts and maybes or no comments in that presser......
