THE WENGER THREAD

The problem is that some of our fans only view things from a fans perspective, so not winning the title/Spurs winning it is obviously a disastrous season, but for Wenger and co, he is still on track to meet the aims of the owner. We will finish 3rd/4th, and will do so with only 15 million spent, that is a great season for Stan. When someone posts "the end is near", because of another Wenger failure, it presumes two things. That (a) Kroneke gives a shit about on field success and (b) Wenger will admit his own failings, and walk away. Neither points are likely to happen, and unfortunately Wenger will be here next season, and more than likely will get a new contract at some point next season.
I'm resigned to the fact that he will most likely be here next season but if enough people protest we might be able to stop the madness of offering him a new contract.

CATASTROPHIC for ALL of us really... but as we both pointed out it means NOTHING to Wenger or the board. We have to face the spurs supporters if they win it (I cannot even grasp the horror of that yet) but for Wenger and the board it means nothing. As I said, those ahead of us could be anybody, he doesn't care, it's those breathing down our neck that worry him, it's his ONLY concern at the moment. Nothing, and I mean nothing else is of any concern, he sees this CL qualification as his legacy. He has put us through so much misery that I hope he fails, I truly hope United catch us, I want him to feel and suffer as much disappointment as possible..

Supporters can force his exit - Arsenal is no different to other clubs.

in this modern era it is all about the "brand"
the fact is if enough supporters protest at every home game then the "brand" becomes damaged and the tourists which modern day Arsenal are trying to attract will suddenly think that there are better options for them such as at the Olympic stadium to see West Ham, a team of winners at White Hart Lane or a team with a new manager at Stamford Bridge

to say that supporters cannot force his exit is as pathetic as seeing Walcott attempt to get past a couple of Crystal Palace players

I've read that the pointless airlines trophy has been cancelled this summer due to pitch relaying. I think that's bollocks and the reality is that the club can't get any decent sides to play in it and are worried about tickets sales, protests and abuse once Wanker does fuck-all in the transfer market again and hasn't left the club.

They've said the Emirates cup was cancelled because of Euro 2016, thank fcuk.

We are in a no win situation because:

1) Kranky loves Wonga because he spends little money and brings in CL money each season, he'll never get rid.

2) All of the board have been there since Wonga arrived and are now pretty good 'friends' with him after 20 years, none of them are ever going to suggest he goes

3) Wonga only has football in his life, he has admitted as much before but now he doesn't even have a wife to consider, he just has football so if you think he is going to give that up and have nothing, then quite frankly you have lost the plot more than him.

We are totally reliant on Wonga walking away but why would he do it? He is convinced he does an amazing job every season, earns more in a year than we will in our lifetimes and has no accountability for not winning anything because Kranky doesn't even expect it!! Come on, NO-ONE would walk away from that. If they offer him a new contract he will take it. At some stage next season we will be top of the league and that's when they will offer him a new contract. He isn't leaving Arsenal until he leaves this world. Arsenal don't have the fan base to force him out, too many JCL's and sheep. Sad but true. We are fucked.

No the pitch relaying was scheduled ages ago, when Perry Groves (the real one) took our stadium tour over the christmas period he said that the pitch was about to be relaid at a cost of 12 million :shock: and that 2 of the training pitches they have are exactly the same as the emirates pitch so they are being relaid too 8)

Fantastic pitch, fantastic training facilities, pity we don't win anything on it :?

Still Wenger has his excuse for not buying players, "we've spent it on grass!!!!!" :shock: (bit like hlebby :lol: )

I just hope the grass beds in quicker than walcott :lol:

Brand arguments are futile. The brand won't be damaged by 30 disgruntled people in the soulless bowl. Don't forget that unless a game is on Sky live Arsenal control most of what is broadcast.

Haven't you heard old chap? "We fans can do nothing". Apparently, Arsenal is an intergalactic club with a unique set of rules that don't apply to every other club. Kroenke is the only other foreign owner in it for the cash, Wenker is an ethereal being who couldn't ever be shifted.

Get with the program old bean! Better to peddle the myth the fans can "do nothing" so at least it gives Lord A-Hole's dwindling "I want him to leave with his head held high" crew one last year to rekindle their intimate romance :lol:
The final fling that is next season :roll:

He will be here 100% next season, it isnt even in question.

I want him gone, as ive said before the best thing all round (realistically) is for him to announce he steps down at the end of next year when his contract ends - the fighting stops, there is light at the end of the tunnel, the crowd will subsequently get behind the team more and maybe he can leave with some dignity.

I want him gone now, but it simply wont happen.

Ah yes. I'm sure Roman really gives a shit about the Chelski fans. As he showed when appointing Rafa against almost all their wishes and as he showed by canning Ancelotti.

And of course the Glazers, those bastions of caring...yes they really care about ManYoo fans when they fleece them by saddling the club with crazy debt and hiking up tickets and the rest.

Oh and how about FSG? Foreign Yank distant corporate owners who are renowned for ruthlessly turning profit? Maybe it's their love of all things Scouse eh? Didn't they instantly try fleece their fans on tickets the minute they could?

What's the difference?

1. At Chelski even their plastics realised the power is in their hands so managers who underperform are gone. See AVB, Jose.

2. At ManYoo, LVG will be sacked this summer for gross underperformance and as their fans are bored and fed up. After just 2 years (not 12).

3. At Liverpool Rodgers, who's done more to compete for a title than Wenker has in a decade, gone. Hodgson when the fans made it clear they'd stay away in numbers? Gone.

Arsenal are no different and aren't unique. None of the big owners care about the fans but they DO care about brand damage and awful publicity.

Anyone saying otherwise is clearly desperate to avoid serious protest in a bid to let their dearly beloved Leader "leave with his head held high" :roll:
