What Stage Are You At?

1. He's the best manager around, look at what he's achieved, he's got a job for life.

2. We may have slipped a bit but he's still doing a good job with the resources he's got, he'll turn it round in time.

3. We're not doing well enough but given what he's done for the club and the circumstances I'm willing to give him another year.

4. I've still got respect for the man for what he's done but it's time he went quietly.

5. He needs to go at all costs, he's an embarrassment, ruining the legacy he worked so hard to create and more importantly poisoning the club.

Quality SteveO...Don't forget to invite Diaby as master of ceremonies. He can break the ice, break the ceremonious bottle of champers on the side of your house to officially "open" your function. He can then do a little shimmy through your back garden before breaking down untill about 2018.

What a fantastic idea to invite the Great Abou - I'm sure I can persuade him to pose for photos with Rodders and Augie afterwards

I have also thought about the prospect of cold weather on the day, and thankfully the young lad from the local Mexican restaurant is on standby to deliver a van load of gloves, rollnecks, and tights in case the temperature drops as low as 14 degrees

I voted 5. :evil:

I find it quite ironic that Wenger, when he came to England as Arsenal manager, was given credit for changing the whole English game(rightfully, I think) by changing the players mindset. He changed the whole diet, training and even playing mindset.....yet now that the game evolved, it seems that he is struggling to keep up, or even change(I think he's just really stubborn). I really appreciate what he has done for us but I think his arrogance during interviews and his disdain towards the fans now overshadows the good he has done for the club. If he goes tomorrow, I won't lose a moments sleep about it.

Thanks for the memories but it's time to move on.

A mixture between 2, 3 & 4 :oops:

Whatever happens I really hope his tenure at The Arsenal does not end in acrimony as I do think he has been brilliant for our club.

i voted #4. i cannot hate a man who brought me so much happiness, and i do think that while we haven't been anywhere near where we want, he never took us way down the table like liverpool, the scum and even the arsenal of the mid-90's, that had some quality defenders but was shite from midfield up.

that said, he's clearly not a top class manager anymore and i do agree he treats the fans with disrespect way too often for me to accept anymore. and either he's stupid for not spending money we have when the team needs it so much, or a pussy for not coming out and stating that the club is not giving him the needed backup when his team needs investiment. whichever of those it is, it's been repeating itself season after season for far too long now.

i will, however, think about wenger in 20 years as a great manager who took us to the top of the game - and add a footnote of those shit years 2007/2012 were we lacked balls to win something even though we had some quality players in that time - just like we all think of graham as a great manager who built a brilliant winning team and then, as a footnote, remember he also built a shit one and put club money in his pocket.
