You should post more often mate, you're definitely one of the best of the newer members to have joined.
Thank you, mate. Much appreciated
I wonder if I could get an award, or fluke an appearance on the Gooner Podcast

Already said he can't see himself retiring without winning it! Him winning the PL will mean a huge new contract for him, and total immunity. Just remember what happened last time he won it (clue, he got a decade of grace to fail!)
He won't win the PL anyway. So, he will declare 2nd as success, board will be thrilled, he'll talk about how "close" we were and how "injuries" (yawn) derailed us. He'll be more determined than ever to win it and will sign a new deal.
With Pep, Jose and maybe Simeone joining the PL cash-cow next year, he will never ever stand a chance of winning it again.
Only way he goes is in a coffin.
Sad, but true.

The best way of getting rid of the fucker is if we do our usual and fuck up the PL this season, there's no way his ego will let him quit on a 'high'
I really think we are fucked either way. He won't leave on a high (FA Cup 2014), and I doubt he'll leave on a low. He has 511 days left on his contract and I can't see him leaving before then. As we know, he is unsackable. The board are so desperate to maintain the status quo that they will want to delay TOF's departure as long as possible.
I don't think there's even a succession plan in place - despite any bullshit that flows freely from Gazidis' mouth. The club has perfectly set itself up to go over the cliff when TOF leaves the club in a box (
I even made a joke about it). It will be year zero when he goes, but yet it will be a great day when he finally leaves the club.
Still, any football manager with a brain will have to do a lot of spring cleaning when he arrives at the club. I just hope he is the right man - which with our board, is by no means certain, given the total lack of football men at the top of the club. It does look like they will ask TOF for his 'suggestion' when the time comes, which very well may doom us to more purgatory.
They don't have the balls or ambition to go for men like Guardiola, Klopp or Simeone, so in that case I wouldn't mind an Arsenal man taking over even if it was seen as 'cheap' or an 'internal solution' - a Keown/Bould management team, with ex-players returning to the club to help with coaching would be ideal to put the backbone back into The Arsenal. But the fact is, I have fuck-all faith in the shysters, suits and chancers that infest our club. It will be important to mobilize the support (if that's even possible) when the time comes to call for the right successor to be chosen. No more underachievement or financial/football waste should be permitted at the club.
Step One is to get TOF out of the club, we'll worry about the rest when the time comes. Up The Arsenal!
