Win the League, or resign.

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

We need change but will it come just with a new manager?


Or will sacking the manager buy the Board more time to keep the spending down, and what changes for the better if that continues?

It is coming to a head. Being so close to 3 at least of the four we were in and coming up empty handed is unacceptable after five barren years. I found it telling that Gordon Strachan was being all sympathetic and nice about Arsenal. The football world knows that failure this season has to result in significant change at Arsenal and the end of the Arsene Wenger experiment.

I don't think we will win the league. My prediction is that we will lose 3 games, win 3 or 4 and draw 3 or 4. 15 more points maximum, which should see us in 3rd place again.

Please read more carefully. I was talking about Wenger resigning, not about him being sacked.

Wenger's project, whatever that might be, is on its last legs. It's painfully obvious to see.

We seem to be living through AW's world of permanent future, that somehow never comes :oops:

But he has to win League in order to prove many of us wrong. And I hope he does. That much I can still give him.

It may be forced upon him. If the story is to be believed (I know the source is shit) but perhaps the Chairman is getting a little fed up of him.

I've been a fan since the late 60's, so I've seen plenty of crap and I believe Arsene has transformed the club and I've always trusted him. He's brought us to a position where we're in the top dozen clubs in Europe but he and we want more. We've got the set-up but the last few weeks have clearly shown where we are. Better than most teams, but even with a strong team the 'pass it slow, pass it square' tactic doesn't work with the players we've got. And when we have to look to the bench we're scraping the barrel.

Einstein described insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Wenger puts Diaby (looks like Bambi on ice), Denilson, Bendtner etc on and expects them to perform.
I'M LOSING THE FAITH!!!!
We need players that do well against Surrey Utd and Barca, not just against Wigan and Blackpool.

It would be a near impossible job for a new manager (see liverpool, Chelski, Inter etc) but the time may have come.

Arsene Wenger should win League for Arsenal this season or he should do an honorable thing and resign in May.

There simply isn't any more time to wait or any more room for excuses. This really should be his last chance.

His footballing philosophy has run its course.

We need a change.

AFC!
Agreed. Been thinking this myself.

No more of the same old - did the same thing with Graham in 1991 after the Old Trafford dust-up.

See this is what people love about our club - all that we aren't like other clubs stuff, with the public schooled owners and all that.

Martin you really have no idea have you? :roll:
Actually I think I do and no one else wnats to know the truth or try to do anything about it. I could be wrong but then again maybe John Gotti wasn't bribing those juries. We have to stop acting like we have a teflon Board and start asking or even pushing them to be more candid or else we deserve whatever we get after they cash in.

We will never win the league.
The squad is full of overpaid wimps.
The manager is too old and too stubborn to change anything.

Sad thing is we might finish 2nd or 3rd, qualify for CL and the board will feel just fine :banghead: :evil:

You just proved my point. Gooners are in mourning for another season where we were so close. Nobody apart from you wants to have a debate about the fucking board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
