I'm too scared to vote as I've got "be careful what you wish for" ringing in my ears :suicide:

I would like to nominate Coach Damon from the boys under 5s little kickers team. If he can get Aaron to stop wandering around, picking his nose, staring at the ceiling and walking up and down the lines in the sports hall for an hour on a sunday morning which costs me £6 a week and get him to score 2 in 2 then he must be a top class coach. :barscarf:

won't these options be a bit out of date when he finally retires in about 10 years time?

With an ambitious and astute manager, next season we could line up

Cech
Bellerin, Kosicleny, Gabriel, Monreal
Cazorla, Xkaka
Sanchez Ozil Iwobi
Morata.

Sell Walcott, Giroud, Mertesacker, and get rid of Arteta, Rosicky, Debuchy, Flamini.

Have the likes of Welbeck, Chamberlain, Ramsey, Wilshere, Gibbs, Chambers, Coquelin, Campbell on the bench - plus other signings.

Thats how Arsenal should be rolling forward. Instead Wenger sits on the spot, not bothering because he wants to
'prove the critics wrong'.

Its scandalous how we dont kick on. When you have players like Ozil, Sanchez, Cech, Kosicleny, Cazorla, you try to sign more of the same and it has a compounding effect. Im not saying the players above need to be signed. But Wenger allowing the likes of Walcott, Giroud, Mertesacker to hang around is negligence. Charlie Austin from QPR would score more than Giroud.

That team is still much too weak.

Surprised no one has put forward the pairing of Matin O'Neil & Roy Keane yet.
Keane would be able to demonstrate to our team of shrinking violets the true meaning of mental strength.
And if Giroud dared to get his mobile out for a team selfie in the dressing room after beating Crystal Palace it would take a team of surgeons a good few hours to extract it from his anus if Keano saw it.

Only two changes to the starting line up as it currently stands...what is the point of that, looks weaker. If that is what an astute manager will do, we might as well stick with wenger :banghead: :banghead:

Sorry, when you say "Morata" do you mean Álvaro Morata? The same Álvaro Morata that has managed to score 6 league goals in 28 games this season? And scored 8 in 29 last season? And scored 8 in 23 at RM in 2014? So we should sign a striker with a worse conversion rate than Giroud and throw him into the deep end of the PL with no previous experience of such a tough and physical league and expect him to just "step up" and deliver? Are you serious? :lol:

Ranieri anyone?, a bit knee jerk and maybe too nice a guy but has proven himself this season and had a good solid rep before becoming a rich mans plaything at chavski, appears dignified in victory or defeat unlike our spoilt child and I'm sure he'd love the chance to replace Wenger.

Why would he want to leave a top, Premier League winning side to come to a Europa League side?

Jose would be a good choice.

no one in the list above is ideal.

Replacing wenger (although long overdue) will be a very hard task.

Its not the point of whether its Morata, Khaka or anyone else. Its how Wenger doesnt have the ambition or desire to make Arsenal a super team. Why not go hard for Griezmann, if we did we would have a one of the very best lines of midfield in Sanchez-Ozil-Girezmann. Why sit on your ass and accept Feo Walcott? Why accept Giroud scoring no more than the likes of Ighalo, Defoe, Deeney, and Arnautovic. People talk about scoring Giroud scoring 20 goals a season. However, the benchmark is 20 league goals, not 20 goals in all competitions. 20 goals in all competitions is easy. The likes of Defoe, Deeney, Arnautovic dont play in Europe, and dont get those extra games a season to score - thats the only reason they dont score 20. But in terms of league goals, Giroud wont score more than Defoe, or Troy Deeney. Yet Wenger keeps keeps backing him, rather than trying to make Arsenal better.

It negligence bordering on treason, how Wenger just sits in idle and refuses to do everything he can to advance the clubs chances of success. Im hearing how Arsene has now realised this group of players are not good enough, and is prepared to spend (probably just paper talk), but if its true, every man and his dog knew this teams limitations and soft centre before the season and implored Wenger to spend - why does he get another chance when he couldnt grasp issues than was known to all the fans, and all the pundits. Managers needs foresight. Yet Wenger is the last guy in the room to understand.

Supposedly Walcott, and Giroud may be casualties of the reshuffle. But hang on, didnt Wenger hand these two 6 figure salaries to tie them down to a new deal only recently? How isnt that a poor judgement call? Why is it, Wenger is 'always the man for the job'? Fall of the pace years after year - Wenger is the man for the job. 8-2, 6-0, 5-1, 6-3 hammerings to each of United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City....Wenger is the man for the job. I mean, FFS.

No matter what, there never seems to be any repercussions for his poor judgement calls, and succession of poor results. Even worse, is how Wenger thinks he is above criticism. He more than deserves to be criticized, he deserved to be vilified, especially for this seasons failure.
