a krunt never changes its spots,or is that warts?

I quoted him a slimeball and my description of him still stands...

[Perryashburtongroves]

The man has brought down a *word censored* of a dictator and dismantled his power base brick by brick. It's taken time but he's won and the good has won through. The bloke has taken on Wanker and destroyed him. That's what was needed and that's what he's done.

Don't agree at all lads. He failed miserably in his coup attempt. I posted this in another thread but fits here too: He made a complete fucking mockery of the club faffing around with half assed attempts to get Vieira and then Henry before "settling" for Arteta who then promptly told him and his new structure of Barca's ex DOF to fuck off (and fair play to Arteta for that). Then old Ivan goes scrabbling around Europe before Emery jumps at the chance to get out of a shit situation at PSG.

Also Gazidis did not get rid of Wenger. Kroenke finally did. The wig molesting cùnt saw all those empty seats this season and realised that it would hurt the brand and he finally acted. If we are going to throw credit at anyone for taking Wenger down then it should be the vermin that owns us - not his monkey.

Disagree. Gazidis' definitely been planning to get shot of Wenger in the last year as demonstrated by the fact he's been building a new structure (recruitment of Sanllehi and Mislintat for the roles of Head of football relations and Head of Recruitment respectively) to strip Wenger of his power and slowly phase him out. It's not the sudden display of empty seats that prompted the decision, but it may have accelerated the process. Getting rid of the dictator was definitely in the pipeline and Gazidis was going about it strategically.

No he wasn't. He made a ham fisted and pathetic attempt at a coup and Kroenke gave Wenger a contract extension ffs.

Believe me if those empty seats hadn't happened Wenger would still be our manager and would probably be looking at another extension next summer. Gazidis "planning" to get Wenger out is not the same as Gazidis getting Wenger out. Do you honestly think it's a coincidence that Kroenke sends his kid over as the empty seats issue becomes more of a hot potato in the media and then Kroenke Jr reports back to daddy and boom Wenger is gone....? You can't be that naive mate. Kroenke saw the potential damage to the brand and finally acted.

I'm sure if the Kroenkes asked Ivan's opinion he didn't defend Wenger but the decision to finally get shot of Wenger was all Kroenke 100%.

[1989]

The changes that Gazidis embarked on came after Wenger's contract extension though. Kroenke is the real disease at the club, kept Wenger on and gifted him contract extensions despite the fact he was clearly way past his sell by date and had nothing to offer the club any more.

It's pretty obvious to me that Gazidis wasn't a Wenger man, that was Kroenke. Gazidis brought in a new structure for a reason. He could've kept the status quo with Wenger continuing to maintain full power grip on all aspects but he was strategically manufacturing a way to remove him. The empty seats were perfect in that sense - they helped Gazidis as much as anyone else achieve the end goal (getting shot of Le Fraud) as they prompted the leeching American bastard into making the most blindingly obvious decision in recent Arsenal history.

I dont understand why you think that In every big club in europe, this is the structure that they use, and I dont see why it should be any different here. For years we have bemoaned the fact that the french cock was involved in a shit load of things that he had no reason or need to be involved in - now we have a manager who is correctly focusing on what his job requires, and that is coaching and setting up a team. Even if you supported the old system, you would surely agree that arteta hasnt worked up enough credibility to be handed control of the transfers

[1989]

Arteta told them to fuck off according to whom btw?

He's lucky he was even considered.

[GTG]

I think it Kronke jnr's report back to his old man that finally got Wenger the bullet.

Whether he was sent over specifically because of the empty seats or whether Gaizidis was in contact with them urging them to come over who knows?

I think its pretty clear that the contract Wenger got, was to be his last at the club because all of a sudden Gaizidis was given the authority to bring in these new men and slot them around Wenger so there was a structure in place for his departure.

It didn't really take a genius to work out that Wenger would ultimately seal his own fate sooner than the 2 years by carrying on as he's always done culminating in the shitfest this season and the fans staying away.

It remains to be seen how much credit Gaizidis deserves in this whole process and will be judged on how well these new men perform obviously.

DB10, have a look at this article:

I was and always will remain very suspicious of Gazidis.

he is not important though - the problem at the club is Kroenke and will become ever more apparent in the coming years.
