The club’s decision makers are understood to be keeping an open mind as to who they will recommend to replace Emery. Sportsmail understands the Kroenkes see value in handing the job to someone who has played for the club, which would strengthen Arteta & Vieira’s cases. #Arsenal https://t.co/7TVHzqSqm9

3 European Cups plus league titles, should be a no brainer for the morons that own & run our once proud football club. :barscarf:

If he ends up at Everton, and we end up with some Spanish run of the mill coach we are seriously fucked.

This search for a replacement manager reminds me of OGL telling us he was working night and day to bring in super duper quality and we ended up with the likes of Mustafi and Xhaka....... :wink:

I thought we'd be done with this sort of horseshit when OGL and the lizard left, it seems that our stay away owner might have infected the place more than we thought :rubchin:
Maybe more than you thought Muzz old mate. :wink:

I always said Wenger was the symptom of a wider disease at Arsenal. That disease being the owners and board. A proper football minded ambitious owner would have shitcanned Wenger 10 years ago. We still have the disease. :|
To be honest i wasn't talking about myself, i just generalise so as not to say i told you so, go way way back into the Wenger out thread and the protest thread and you'll see i always said no point getting rid of Wenger without getting shot of Wiggy.... but the point was that i'm leaning towards Wenger being more of a yes man than was intimated by people on here and much less in control than was thought and that Wiggy was calling more of the shots than people think.

People were so focussed on OGL being a odious ignorant disrespectful prick that they couldn't see beyond that to Wiggy having more of an eye on things than most thought, this made it easy to scapegoat dickhead Wenger when a lot of what he said was bullshit and bluster..... 'if they give me a £100M i'll hand it back' yeah right cock end, you were never getting it so it was a smoke and mirrors statement, you were giving yourself the illusion of control when Wiggy had his fist up your arse like a puppet master :cussing:

When you see how tight a control he keeps on his American franchises it always didn't ring true that he ignored this one, the way the new people like Sanhelli and Edu are reported as having to run everything by Josh and Stan, makes me think they are little more than figurehead appointments who need a full on Kroenke stamp of approval before anything is decided and that in many ways Wenger was only ever a useful idiot, deluded in his own mind, a complete narcissist stupid enough to be believe his own bullshit and an illusion sustained by other useful idiots like John Cross, Keown and all the other OGL sycophants.

Oh and I'm in no way excusing Wenger of his many many crimes. But he should never have been allowed to sit there committing those crimes for so long. That rests squarely on the owner and board.
If Wenger had been an ambitious manager he would have walked because of the board and owner...Comfort zones all round.
I know the point you're making but for me that's not and never was the bigger issue. Almost everyone has a boss. I am a boss for my project team. And I have a boss and he has a boss. Part of each of our jobs is to address underperformance of our staff.

Wenger had a boss and that boss failed to address his underperformance, whether through comfort zone or cynical fuckery is an aside for me. Wenger was never going to voluntarily walk away from his 9million a year because of greed and ego and so his boss should have addressed it by sacking him.

I do agree with you but the vicious circle of apathy suited both parties. It showed a lack of ambition and control by the board not to deal with the under performing Wenger..It was a show of greed and indifference and a lack of principle by the manager not to resign in protest at the board's indifference to the nose dive the club was taking.

Ancelotti still my second pick after Allegri 8)
Me too.

Anceloti may indeed be past it - who knows - but I'd think there's enough top manager left in him to at least steady the ship, and get us going in the right direction. He doesn't hang around so either way he is a short term fix for maybe one to three years max, but fuck it few managers are at any club longer than three years nowadays.

if Everton get Ancelotti and we end up with some rookie surely that will be the last straw and we'll start to see the wiggy out campaign moving forward

German football magazine Kicker ran a story claiming that Robben, Ribery, Hummels, Boateng and Müller were particularly unhappy with Ancelotti’s relaxed training sessions and had so organised ‘secret’ high-intensity sessions behind his back.

For me it would be the ultimate white flag waving gesture - for everton to show more ambition in their pursuit for a new manager, would be a public announcement of where we as a club stand and what our plans are. Everton want to go for proven quality to step up a level or 2, whilst we are going 2 or 3 levels beneath Ancelotti on some financial cost cutting plan :roll: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Ancelotti is now a free agent and with no compensation fee, so unless we are deep in negotiations with allegri (and confident of getting him), there is no acceptable reason for not getting him
