This is an ideal time to bring a new guy in.
How dumb would we feel though, if a new manager came in at the start of next season and 'did a Moyes'
Having said that, I would rather take that risk than go through the pains of this and previous seasons once more. I think we could have won the title this season. So for that reason, Wenger out.
well the board wont get rid of wenger because of what happened at united. even though I do think moyes is a good manager but they need more of an overhaul than we do.
no idea who could replace him though. cant be bergkamp as he wont fly. plus no management experience. what would have been good if there was succession planning going on eg bould.
Moyes is a negative example. How about a mention to Brendan Rogers or Martinez?
I would have loved to see those people have their 1000th game before I compare them to Wenger . Real Madrid , Arguably the biggest team in the world , have always wanted to sign Wenger while all those people are around and have never been mentioned . Wenger is far better than all these clowns .
DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
Very good point . Wenger will certainly go one day . But that day is not today . Not even tomorrow . He still has some few months on his contract and chance is he might sign a new one . Why think about after Wenger when the man is still there ?

Give them 5 or 7 years and see how their consistency will be . You might chance your mind .

I still believe Wenger is one of the best managers in the world, if he had been given unlimited funds like most managers in other top clubs, it wouldnt had been 9 years without a trophy, what he has done with no money is amazing, first transfer window when he has money and he goes out and brings in the best (and might even win a trophy in his first year with transfer money). If he is still here, we will see another Özil signing no doubt, if he brings in a 40m striker or midfielder, it can change our team to a real threat next season.
IF he is not here after the summer, i would love to see Laudrup given the chance, he have always gotten the best out of his teams and plays exciting football. Rodgers and Martinez are doing amazing with Everton and Liverpool, Laudrup took Swansea to another level, even when people didnt believe Swansea could do any better than with the 2 other mentioned.
I dont want us to bring in one of those "big name" managers that have never really done anything and changes to a new team every 2nd year, when they once again have shown that they cant really do anything special.

Each to their own. 'Tis for me.
Let's not act like Wenger has had no money. He has had some good money, not on the level as the other oilies , but certainly a fair bit to spunk on players like Squilachi/Santos.
He's had the money here too for a few seasons now, the club finance results had us on £70m for the summer, of which we only spent a net of £32m on Ozil. And for jan they went up to £120m. This is only going to go higher with the puma money coming in too.
He's far too useless in the transfer market at identifying talent for where the team needs improvement. And far too stubborn to stick with players like Arteta who are useless.
We should have pushed on in Jan, a left winger and a striker. But he didn't.
Ticket prices are increasing next season, but the money is hardly being invested into the squad.
