I'm sorry quartz but that just sounds very much like we should all just stay quiet and accept it and that is way too defeatist for me :x As far as I am concerned we can indeed keep quiet or we can revolt and try and drive the old c**t out and the latter is the only option as far as I am concerned. We know he won't be sacked but we also know that he can be very hostile and doesn't react well to criticism especially when that criticism comes from people who haven't worked half a day in football :roll: I know that there are still many fools out there that still support wenker but there is still far more that now accept that he needs replacing so these people need to show their feelings and initiate change rather than just sitting on their hands hoping for change.

The only way to get rid of him is for him to be driven out by the fans showing their anger. The "you don't know what you're doing" chant at Aston Villa really affected him. He needs to hear more of that. More banners, demonstrations etc. He is so arrogant, so pig headed that he would walk at the end of next season if this became the norm - because as we know he believes that no one should ever be able to question him.

He should have gone ages ago, but I don't believe he will ever walk and I don't believe this Board will sack him unless and until we are out of the top four at the end of this season, so everything is hinging on that. The survey is stupid as 'when we finish out of the top four' should have been an option to tick.

We might miss out on regular CL qualification while only having a net transfer spend of a mid table team, that's what. The Board LOVE Wenger because he achieves the bottom-line financially (CL qualification year after year) for the minimal capital outlay.

That's the dilemma. Wenger technically punches above his weight for his net transfer spend, but he punches well below his weight on the pitch for the revenue we earn and what our Club historically expects. His unique 'socialist' wage policy is the biggest f*ck up revenue-wise. See all your big stars go and fail to buy new ones because you don't pay them enough while paying a bunch of mediocre journeyman way more than they should. Wenger is the architect of this, its all his fault.

Not sure the Board would sack Wenger even if we did finish out of the CL places. They'd want to show 'faith' in him for at least one more season so he would get the chance to get the club back into the Top 4. So if Wenger is ever to leave it will have to be either voluntarily or via hizzy fit caused by prolonged crowd displeasure aimed in his direction. As there are 7 million reasons why he is unlikely to do the former, it may need the latter to happen before he goes.

I agree. A complaisant smirk on his face. The behaviour of a man worried about his job - not. I wonder if anyone on the Board will speak to him after this and say "Arsene this really is not good enough"? Not a chance.

Doubtful.....we have a couple of new wum that joined recently and they will enjoy voting pro wenger and then have a laff as ye try to reason with them :roll:
Assuming I'm one of these 'wum' then Yes, of course I voted Pro Wenger. I am not fickle enough to change my views based on a single result, but such results do bring a more noticeable comment rate on here as positive results do on forums that don't hold the same general view as this one.
I certainly do not do it for a 'laff' , I just say what I think, simple as. If that's a problem then let me know.

[is wum wind up merchant? if so then I am certainly not so by any other means than having an opposing view to the majority in this envioronment]

You can scream until you are blue in the face but Wenger has a contract until summer 2014 and barring a Graham type financial scandal or an unforeseen criminal incident, he will stay until then at the very least.
At £7M per season why would he leave before then?

He may well have bought property in Paris to retire too, but with French taxes sky high a few more million will come in handy to decorate with.

He makes Kroenke money, Kroenke owns the club, it's all very cosy.

It would take a 40% or more season ticket cancellation to force out Wenger.

Yep Reb, anger went years ago. I was bouncing off the fucking walls when Clichy conceded the penalty at Birmingham and even more when our old legend Eboue did the same against Liverpool in the 34th minute of injury time. But now? No anger whatsoever, not even yesterday, not an ounce. Just sad.

Get him out once Bayern have thrashed us. If a top 4 place is all that is left to play for then someone else-anyone else- might just be able to life the players during the last few weeks of the season. Once Bayern have beaten us I can foresee the usual depression and pathetic collapse from the team. A new manager or even caretaker manager might just lift the club and fans. I know in my heart of hearts that this won't happen and that the old git will be given every last chance to try to fuck up the team, tactics, formations, transfers and wage structure even more between now and 2014.
