This comparison to Man Utd is stupid anyway because they had won what 3-4-5? titles during the period we were winning none over the same time and still haven't. Basically it's like saying finishing 4th is the same as winning the title, that is probably true in the minds of our old fart board (and great leader) but I'm afraid no one else gives a s**t.

Be careful what you wish for... damn right... Wenger might get a new contract!.

Kroenke is very likely a barrier to success, look at his US teams who are all average or s**t, Wenger needs to go for this to be proven here though which is half the reason Kroenke wants Wenger to stay (his human shield). Wenger is basically part of the board - an old fart who counts his beans, we might as well have 'Chips' Keswick as manager.

Wenger reminds me of a near 25 year mortgage where I have been bum holed with high interest rates, let's face it he signs another 5 year contract you will have paid for your house or died trying!...

Another way to look at the who could we get in question is who couldn't we get? Possibly 10 club managers who wouldn't leave their jobs to come and get paid a fortune to manage this massive club?

I agree with BFG4 Kroenke has given more than enough money to Arsene to more than compete for the title,you only have to look at last season farce when we couldn't even beat Leicester to the title a team of journey men cobbled together,the fact we couldn't win it last season shows that kroenke isn't the biggest issue here,the funds allowed to wenger used properly would win a league title under a good manager, I mean Xhaka at 35m or wanyama at was it 15m?? says it all

Perhaps it was Wenger dithering but the rumour is that Kante is on higher wages than Xhaka so it might have something to do with Kroenke's wage structure guidelines, who knows.

Also I get annoyed when people say Kroenke has given the club/Wenger/us the money, the money was generated by the club not him, I know you didn't mean it that way I just hate it when it sounds like the c**t has actually given anything to us which he hasn't!!.

As I said look at his US teams, we will find out when Wenger is gone what Kroenke's agenda is, so lets get him gone soon..

Its actually Wengers well documented "socialist wage policy". Sweet fa to do with Kroenke.

And while the club belongs to the fans in reality its Kroenkes. So yes its Kroenke who has made the finds available to Wenger. And it has been Wenger who pissed it up the wall or refused to spend it.

Remember, Wengers project and wage policy started before Kroenke arrived. Wenger is in charge of transfers in/out including wages.

There are 600 employees at Arsenal who all have to be paid every month too

Arse-licker blog and the rest of the simpletons are extremely quiet tonight after Juve and Allegri ruthlessly saw off Porto.

They couldn't get enough of it last night mocking Jardim and Monaco after their defeat at City.

It's all about their own fucking agenda. Parasites.

Well a home game to Bournemouth then. Either way, the chances after the next premier league round has is in 6th place are high.

'be careful what you wish for, you might end up like Man United'. Oh the fuking irony, when its Man United to vacate 6th place so we can occupy it.

I am not defending Wenger, merely pointing out Kroenke has put nothing into the club either financial or otherwise and looking at his track record is never likely to.

I hope I am wrong but I was one who wanted Wenger out from as far back as 2008 and was right about that so think it likely I may be right about Kroenke as well.

I can't wait for Wenger to go and shift the focus on to him so we can find out, if he gets in a top drawer replacement fair play, if he gets some flop then I think that will say a lot about his intentions.

It seems one of the criteria to replace Wenger is to concede 5 goals in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League...Enter into the frame Monaco manager Jardim.
