THE WENGER THREAD

[Derek Acorah]

If you want Wenger gone, who would you bring in?

Let's say he was sacked today, you have a week or so whilst International's are being played to bring in an available manager.

Who do you bring in? Realistically speaking.

I suppose it is important to keep a sense of perspective and see things from Kroenke's point of view.

His view is that Wenger has had 17 consecutive years of success (and he has if you consider reaching the top 4 as success)
Also any other manager would have demanded extra funds to strengthen the defence this summer - Wenger didn't and this is why the love in continues.

My point is, that any club that claims to be a big club has designs on winning the title, or at least making a proper attempt to win it, but not at Arsenal, the only aim is to make money, and yet alot of our fan-base will have a pop at other clubs for overspending, forgetting that those clubs want to acheive actual success. The only success for Arsenal is in a financial sense, with the profits going to Wenger, and the board, and every fan squeezed for every last penny, all because we love the club.

David moyes......he was a football genius a few years back, what could possibly go wrong

What makes me laugh is when fans have a pop at clubs like City, Chelsea etc. for buying the league, but doesnt this show that these owners only care about on-field success, in contrast, silent Stan only cares about lining his own pocket, and keeping in place a manager who has lost all control of reality, and would be out the door at any other major club for his incompetence.

Spot on. The "moral arbiters of football" Arsenal, ripping off their fans, under-investing in the team, yet Usmanov and owners with ambitions are the issue apparently....

Steve Bould caretaker until season's end. He honestly won't do worse than Le Twat.
Klopp over summer, settled.

Wenger is under so little pressure he is 66/1 to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked...

If a company's CEO isn't performing, they get Headhunters in to source a new CEO. The headhunters being experts in their field and generally knowing all the relevant candidates and their abilities.

That should be the process. And the only realistic answer as availability is relative. You go for someone and try to get him.

Wasn't this John Cross guy the biggest wenkers ass licker of all times???? Even he seems to be quite critical now...

Yes. Yes, he is.

The sub-editor had a blast with the headline:

Arsenal are so bad they could lose Alexis Sanchez already - and Arsene Wenger is solely to blame

Cross would rather die than type those words, I imagine he's being leaned on to write something slightly critical.

- Ah yes but WE (being a club with "Class") would give him time!

Sounds like a plan to me! b

ps; At least Bouldy would shore up the defence - what's left of it that is

Yup!..It may be John Cross (aka: Ancient Navajos name for Wengers Cock Sucker) - But it is deffo someone else's words

About time - The Resignation of Wenger is Coming Hallelujah!

The thing that's saving Wenger from the full onslaught of media attention is that Liverpool, Man U and spurs are having a worse season than us. If City were challenging for the title and doing well in their CL group and the teams I've mentioned were doing better OGL would be under more pressure. We have turned round poor form into CL qualification so many times I bet the board think it will happen again this year. I don't.

[QuartzGooner]

Quartz this power base erosion means he's still allowed to go into the season with no defenders, he's still allowed to put no effort into defending set pieces, still allowed to continue unbridled with Project Failure, displaying no tactics and saying alarming things every week in interviews, yet his job is under zero pressure from above.

As long as he guides us to fourth it's all fine and well.

His job is not under pressure from Kroenke.

Others on the board want him gone, and work subtly to prepare for when he goes.
They can see himself digging a hole and sinking into it, so they get ready for when he does go.

But they do not have the power to force him out, Kroenke has his back.

the mejia are getting more and more aggressive with wenger - Mail "wengers flops" etc etc as are the pundits.

last night i spent 2-3 hrs on facebook pages - including Arseblog - 90% are wenger out - the only dissent was the "unlucky" "injuries" "who else coudl do it" crowd.....who i quite smugly pointed out to wengers on words on Tuesday Night AFTER the Anderlecht Collapse :

" The defence ? Tonight that was not even a worry, we came into the game on the back of two clean sheets" and this other gem " i have no plans to strengthen the back four in January"

then after the Jacks loss ( after putting out the same 11) :

" its is quite difficult to identify why we lost...."

i told them to keep reading those 3 sentences over and over and then figure it out.


imho wenger only loses the bowl crowd when we lose 2 or 3 home games on the trot - THAT is when open dissent descended on both O'Neill and Howe and Houston i think. We are still The Arsenal and losing at home is unforgivable.

[Dodgyknee71]

id fucking love it if the crowds went the same way as the late terry neill/ Howe era..... Scrapping 20,000 just regularly














Wenger OUT























Getting home was a lot easier
