WENGER GONE BY 2011

Post by **REB** » Fri May 30, 2008 11:46 am

A BLOG I GET EMAILED EVERYDAY POSTED THIS TODAY,,,, that on Wednesday working lunch was attended in the Paris Hyatt Hotel by Sebastien Bazin President of PSG, Charles Villeneuve newly appointed Chairman and ArsÃ¨ne Wenger. With a single goal: to prepare for the next season.

ArsÃ¨ne Wenger choisira lâ€™Ã©lu, dâ€™oÃ¹ le nom de Grimandi hier. Ami de Villeneuve, apprÃ©ciÃ© par Bazin, Wenger joue un rÃ´le moteur dans la restructuration actuelle. Des Ã©changes de joueurs entre la formation de la capitale et celle de Londres pourraient intervenir dÃ¨s cette saison. Et ArsÃ¨ne Wenger, qui entame sa douziÃ¨me saison chez les Gunners, pourrait mÃªme rejoindre lâ€™annÃ©e prochaine le PSG au poste dâ€™entraÃ®neur. En attendant, le staff actuel devra composer avec une enveloppe recrutement comprise entre 15 et 20 Mâ‚¬, sans compter les ventes de cet Ã©tÃ©.

Which basically says that Wenger will play a leading role in restructuring the playing side of PSG and might even become the new manager next year. So could we see a closer working relationship of Arsenal with PSG ? The reports of Wengerâ€™s departure next year was rebuffed by Arsene who went on to comment..

Ce rendez-vous confirme lâ€™influence du manageur dâ€™Arsenal dans la gestion actuelle du club parisien. RencontrÃ© la veille gare de Lyon, le technicien franÃ§ais avait certifiÃ© quâ€™il ne briguait aucun poste au club de la capitale et ne jouait aucun rÃ´le dans sa reconstruction. Â« Mon avenir est Ã Arsenal, oÃ¹ je suis sous contrat jusquâ€™en 2011, aprÃ¨s on verraÂ», a-t-il assÃ©nÃ© avant de minimiser son rÃ´le dans la restructuration de lâ€™organigramme du PSG: Â« Si on me demande conseilâ€¦ Il arrive que des clubs demandent mon avis, je rÃ©ponds Ã qui je veux.Â»

Which basically saysâ€¦

â€œMy future is at Arsenal, where I am under contract until 2011, then we will see. If I am asked for adviceâ€¦It can happen that clubs ask for my opinion, I answer to who I want.â€

I dont think he will go until we win the champions league.If we win it that year im sure he'll go out on a high.But the bloke has a obsession with the cl and lets hope he will stay until he finally gets it

Van Basten or Grimandi will eventually take over

Wenger has always said he will honour his contracts, and that means he's with us till at least 2011!....meaning 15yrs at the helm

I'm sure a year or so back he suggested he wanted to see us settle in the new stadium before he finally moved on, so 2011 does kind of make sense.
- and clearly, by that time, we'd have won the premiership/CL double back to back..so he'll be due a heroes send off

In Arsene We Trust

Even if it's true, we have three full seasons with Le Boss, don't we?

i like slaven bilic, especially when he knocked England out haha!

I hate the thought of Arsenal without Wenger, but Grimandi in charge would be delightful, he will have picked so much up from Wenger i reckon

Arsene is Mr Arsenal

I think i would have to terminate my life if he left.

I honestly can't imagine arsenal without arsene,although it definately has something to do with my age

But the guy really is Mr Arsenal like you said and it is quite nice to have such a reliable bloke who will never walk out on his contract and will never fuck about with other clubs like youre mourinho's and Eriksson's

I have a feeling of that too

Van Basten with Bergkamp as coach

or Grimandi as a Director of Football type with Bould as coach/team manager

but another candidate might be Laudrup with Jensen as coach

In meantime Wenger is sowing some seeds for any future possible departure

As much as he drives me nuts at times I reckon we should ask Wenger to pick his own succesor. In fact, if it's true Pat Rice is due to leave, which I hope not as he's the biggets Arsenal legend of all time imo, we should get somebody that will be able to take over from Wenger when he retires...Grimandi or Bould seems like good candidates as they're already Gooners, know the Arsenal way and is in no rush to become first team managers and Wenger can teach them all he knows.
