bit long but an excellent article that details things most of us here agree on.

I actually read all of that.

I must be bored

It had Diaby and Arteta as Transfer Hits rather than misses

Agree (for once) with Cripps about hope.
Right now there's no realistic chance of trophies and it is endless Groundhog Day.
I don't think things will magically get better post-Wenger, they may get worse, but change we need.

I wonder though if a new owner/board with a clear vision laid out to us, money provided etc would create hope with wenger still in charge.

While I think his time is up I don't think hope returns within him going on his own.

Wtf

What a ****. He's right but he has no right to talk about Wenger like that.

Sad how Wenger has become a joke figure in football

I think the bigger joke is spending a billion pounds and finishing bottom of your champions league group for two years running

[The Emirates Gallactico]

No surprise. At what other club in the world would he enjoy such unrivalled dominance/control - and influence at board level as well - to go with massive wages that are higher than any of his players? In a certain sense, Arsenal is Wenger's club almost to the degree that the Chavs are Abramovic's. Wenger is the absolute master of spin, and there is no doubt that he feels that we should be delighted, and grateful to have him.

Plus aside for the Arabs in Manchester, no one else would pay him 7 million a year for his services. Not that I believe Wenger is too preoccupied with how own personal finances but it has to be a factor in his decision making process. He knows he isn't going to get a nice fat contract anywhere else for his services.

Don't think Mancini of all people can criticise others. Still it shows how bad things are when he feels safe to take popshots at Wenger.

Neither have Man City

It is common place.

Many people other than Board members attend meetings to deliver presentations, progress reports or be called to account. In many instances non Board members will attend only for certain agenda items. Non Board members will be asked to leave for closed sessions - some closed sessions may also exclude some Board members where a conflict of interest ecists or is declared, etc.

There is no need to be outraged by what is standard practice.

it isnt standard practice in the footballing world hence why i specifically said 'footballing world'.

fergie doesnt attend them, mourinho doesnt attend them and neither does mick mccarthy. so i dont see why wenger should.

[Letters]

How do you know who attends board meetings at which clubs?

[Marc Overmars]

Wenget being trolled by Mancini?

It is common place and quite rightly too - the Manager will report to the board and be held to account. There is a difference between attending a board and being a member of the board.

If anything, if I was producing the results that Wenger has been serving up of late, I'd fucking dread an appearance before the Board.
