Glad to see you around Sean, just wish it were under better/happier circumstances.Sean wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 3:05 pmFurther to my post in the match thread at full time, our limp-dick collapse this season and the performance last night has seriously undermined Dick's credibility. He should never have played Cech, regardless of his taking a job with the Chavs next season.
While I recognise that there is a depressing familiarity with the lack of defending and our dropping of crucial points, I'd give Dick another season. Sadly, last night means he definitely won't get a serious transfer budget this summer. He was left an overpaid over-coddled and unbalanced squad by the previous manager, but the lack of defensive discipline and repetitive mistakes are showing that the players or the manager aren't doing their jobs properly. We had hoped that Dick would at least coach them to be defensively responsible, while Aubameyang and Lacazette score the goals.
Having been against the previous manager for many years, I am wary of turning on Dick too soon. He needs a proper chance and one season is too soon to write him off totally. As has been said, you can't polish a turd. It's a shame to see so many turning on Dick now, but if the shoe fits...
His shit attitude and work-rate not withstanding, Ozil's wages are blocking us from signing 2-3 decent players and giving a chance to rebuild our awful defence and to replace those fucking idiots Mustafi and Xhaka. It's a shame that Ramsey is leaving on a free, however much he frustrated us with his Hollywood flicks and tricks and lack of positional discipline, we could have done with him next season.
The main problem is the Syrup and his total lack of interest and investment. Usmanov selling up was a disaster. The old guard led by Hill-Wood definitely fucked this club, by freezing Usmanov out and letting the Syrup in and by letting the previously manager stay in post past 2011, squandering the money on his insane 'socialist wage structure', which means we've pissed the football profits and Cashburton income up the wall. It doesn't bode well for the club, or anyone who succeeds Dick. If there are to be protests again, let me know.

I put this on Sid's Emery Poll Thread, but it's just as apt here...
Besides asking the 2 questions, there should also be an option available of who, if voting to sack Emery should be brought in as a replacement.
Even though it looks like Allegri will be available, would he be willing to come to a club whose owner isn't interested in investing enough money to enable the manager (whomever that might be) to buy the players we need and off-load the dead wood.
It is Kroenke (Snr and Jnr) who are the problem, but there is no way we can get them out. Usmanov sadly was our last chance of someone rich enough to both get rid of wiggy AND still have enough to bank-roll the changes we need, he tried to buy out Kroenke but AFC is a money making machine as far as the wig-wearer is concerned, so any chance of ousting him evaporated long ago when Usmanov sold his 30% to wiggy.
That was our death knell for the foreseeable future unless wiggy has a change of mind which I just don't see happening because he is profit first investment to make profit And success second.
The Global financial markets & systems changed and as part of that so did Football as a sport and was swallowed and so became Pure Business we; as are other teams/clubs are victims of that.
It could be said that the blame goes back to 2011 when Nina Bracewell-smith, Danny Fizman, P. Hill-Wood and the other board members sold their shares to him. All they saw was the Dollar signs, whether they knew he would be the kind of owner he turned out to be is anyone's guess, but the signs were there for all to see, in the way he ran his other sports franchises in USofA.
It is all BAD news as far as I am concerned, wiggy (aka: Arsenal Holdings plc) isn't going to do anything that messes with his steady Annual profit from AFC, even IF he did give Emery or whomever is manager enough money to buy the players we need (6 - 7 players at least) to realistically compete for the title and CL, it would then be some time before that out-lay showed returns in terms of trophies/title/CL and so the profit that does come from such success.
We are Fucked and only by having a manager in place who is willing to run a relatively successful team on a very limited budget will we stand a chance of once more securing a Top 4 place on an annual/regular basis.
Maybe Emery isn't that manager - he deserves one more year/season. Again as to who would or could replace him and operate under the above limitations narrows our choices and so our chances even further.
Sorry sid but that is absolute fucking horseshit.goonersid wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 11:40 amIt’s hard to fathom that we are probably in a worse place right now than at anytime under Wenger, at least there was the hope no matter how small, that maybe he could rekindle that flame and amid all the shite we managed to win the odd trophy and until almost the end , managed to stay ahead of the spuds!rodders999 wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 11:03 amSo this season we’ve conceded 3 away at Chelsea, 3 away at Southampton, 5 away at Liverpool, 3 at home to United (Cup), 3 away at City, 3 away at Rennes (Europa), 3 at home to Palace, 3 away at Wolves, 3 away at Leicester and 4 in the game last night.
Get away ta fuck. And that’s all after the addition of supposed defensive reinforcements last Summer and a manager who’d bring a game plan to consign constant shit shows like that to the banter era.
Now I honestly believe we have a manager who is more clueless than Wenger was!
Don’t get me wrong I’m glad Wengers gone, but I’m dreading next season under Emery more than any under Wenger!
Whilst, truth be told I don’t really care that much anymore, it would be nice to atleast enjoy football again, without it being all consuming!
I reckon (without the luckiest unbeaten run in football history) we will be in such a mess by Christmas that Kroenke will have no option other than to sack Emery, but the damage will have been done and once again we will be waiting for the following season

Only time will tell mate, and I understand the frustration. I'm not sure how you can say Wenger would have finished above them easily though - there was absolutely no evidence in Wenger's team from the previous season that we were on any sort of upward trajectory. The away form was even worse than it has been this season and we almost went the whole of the second half of the season without a single away win until Huddersfield obliged his hero worship session on the final day. Of the players Dick brought in, I wouldn't rave about any of them in the 'world class' category but I do think Leno has shown enough to be a significant upgrade on any Wenger keeper probably since Mad Jens (the first time round).LeftfootlegendGooner wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 6:51 pmAnybody who thinks this guy is the answer knows absolutely nothing about football.
And please don't start spouting fuckin stats about us being a place higher and a couple more fuckin points (as the regular post mover did on a reply to one of my posts, the same guy who dismisses stats ) better off.
Manure have been utter gash, chavs too and the spuds have lost how many games
Wenger would have finished above them easily.
Everyone on here knows that our 21 unbeaten run was the luckiest in history ffs.
Add to that the rest of the league has been worse than gash and you get my point.
But as no one has answered me convingly the main reason dick has been proven a mistake is he brought in 6 players, one he didn't even think good enough to play and others that have been raved about on here YET we are still shit.
You could give this guy 5 more seasons but you'd only see us regress.
