Say we don't qualify, a new top name will still be easy to get - if the parasitic bastards running our club want a top name. We have the resources and the new guy has an opportunity to easily look good whike coining it in.
But that scenario ain't happening. We are playing like a steaming pile of turd. I want to pour acid in my eyes when I watch us play. And yet, if we don't finish 4th this year it is because we will be third.
The standard in the EPL is abysmal. We are and always will qualify for the CL with Wenger.
Always. Always. Always.
And in case I have left any doubt. I don't see that as a good thing.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
After Wengers early success we went through quite a few years thinking that surely he would put things right & they we'd have a crack at the league. During these years 3rd or 4th place was seen as a disappointment. Nowadays it seems as though finishing 4th is our realistic goal every year with the hope of a cup run. We seem to have a continuos struggle for 4th now - if this trait of lack of ambition continues under Wenger we will come unstuck in the next few years.
If it hadn't been for the calamity of Moyes last year we would have been playing in the Europa cup this Thursday.
Between 2003 and 2014 champions league qualification was vital to service our debt and leave us on a good financial footing
Now it is not vital and if you are Real Madrid, Bayern Munich ,Barcelona, Chelsea, Man City, PSG you can probably have one poor season and qualify for Champions League next season. But the financial disparity means that you miss out one season it will probably be many years until you qualify again. So if Wenger finishes third/fourth in 2015, makes it more likely he will qualify 2016 and 2017. And that lays the ground for a new manager to have a meaningful crack at it.
