Absolutely he's out for no. 1 now
I can't see it any other way. It speaks volumes. He sees the damage but has a 'don't question me' snobbish attitude as if he's earned the right to drag the club down. I hold him responsible for what we've become as club, more so than Stan or other board members simply because he prides himself on loving the game. He's supposed to be pushing for footballing excellence over everyone else, instead we see Ivan Gazidis and stories of Sir Chips and Josh Kroenke pushing for change. Why isn't it the other way round? Why aren't stories emerging of Wenger pushing for change and being at odds with Stan and Ivan? Why is he not saying he wants to sign Sanchez and isn't worried about the cost?Quote:

Is his arrogance so bad that he cant see that he has made the situation of him staying as untenable. If he stays & continues with the same shit of sticking with the dross & not buying the quality required then he won't last until next Xmas. If he decides to join the real world with regards to competing at the top level & spends on top quality in the summer, resulting in better football & us starting to compete with the big boys - then he will simply have proved himself wrong over the past decade - which would be harder for him to take than it is for him to see us get raped by Palace.
Even if we bought better players, we will then be handicapped by a technically inferior manager to the big boys - the problem can only be resolved with him fucking off.
The answer is simple , do not offer him a new contract. Why are the board so scared of him.
Be careful what you wish, hope, dream and pray for.Quote:

Arsenal target Sead Kolasinac has been told Arsene Wenger WILL be in charge of the club next season.
The Gunners have begun their rebuilding plans ahead of next season and have made it crystal clear to pending new signings and existing players who are renegotiating their existing deals that the Frenchman will be in charge.
Wenger also negotiating deals with the indispensable Gibbs, Wilshere (who is crocked again, this time a hairline fracture), and he'll even be checking down the sofa to see if there is enough money to keep Ozil and Alexis here.
He's out of contract in the summer. All they have to do is not offer him a new one. Simples :shrug:Quote:

I reckon the board might actually be split on whether to keep him or not. I certainly think Gazidis at least would like him to move on. The Americans want him to stay for obvious reasons but those involved in the day to day running might be open to change.
It is for those without a sense of humourQuote:

I'm not so sure about a contract offer being on the table. Early reports from the press with no real sources. I haven't heard an official statement from the club backing the manager even though he's having a crisis.
Yup, the guy has a job as long as he wants it, easiest job in football but frankly scandalous that the guy can keep his job despite the way the fans feel.Quote:

I can understand giving Diaby and Rosicky contracts because they had the talent and potential to deliver if they could stay fit. Rosicky especially. He's the sort of player that could play that CM role Cazorla plays and has often come in towards the end of the season to bail us out when the Wilshere/Ramsey axis falls flat. Diaby also had serious potential for that role. No idea why Wenger didn't sign a CM with a similar attributes seen in these two.Quote:

I don't think he has a job as long as he wants it, not any more. Even if Kroenke sees the club as just a cash cow that cash cow is under threat of being less fat and juicy if Wenger can no longer do the thing he has been kept so long to do and that's keep the club in the top four.
Self-sustainability is based on fans paying money to watch the game, and they won't continue to do that. I'm not sure he has lost the dressing room, but he has players that are so lacking in confidence for this season at least beating sides like West Ham and Middlesborough is about as much as he is likely to achieve.
If we take Wenger at his word which plenty of people here seem happy to do because his press conferences seem to irritate people, he seems to have changed from i've made up my mind to it's the board's decision. I think the Crystal Palace result really caused a lot of concern for people at the club, evidenced by Wenger changing his formation (perhaps trying to prove to his employers he is capable of change).
If Wenger signs a new contract with no changes in place to coaching staff or a director of football we know that this man can just get away with whatever he wants, if he signs a contract with changes at all coaching levels it shows whilst the club are still too cowardly to do what needs to be done that Wenger no longer has a job for as long as he wants it and that their patience is not as endless as we might think.
Don't get me wrong, it's flogging a dead horse Wenger should be gone at the end of the season and discussions should have been concluded to bring in a better replacement but we know the board has been asleep at the wheel. What we now need to find out is what action they are prepared to take if they have woken up.
This is another major reason why Wumger has to go. Another manager would want to make his stamp on the club & would get rid of the deadwood. There are those on here who think we dont need a major clear out & think we have a really strong squad. I disagree. Cech is on his way out & we dont have another top keeper. Only Bellerin & Kos would be classed as good enough defenders for any other top club. Take away Ozil & Sanchez as they could be gone anyway & apart from Cazorla, there is not a footballing brain of any quality in any other squad member.Quote:

We need a serious clear out & only a new manager will do it.
We also have Sanogo who can play there. Our version of Mbappe.
We'll at least get rid of Sanogo, right? Surely we'll do that much at very least.
Sanchez out, Sanogo in!Quote:

One thing we know about Wenger is regardless of the outcome of the season he won't rock the boat, he has his principles and one of those is that he won't make mass changes to the playing squad, he never has done. If he signs on for two more years which is looking likely, then I reckon we are looking at 4 or 5 changes at max this summer, of which you can bet 2 or 3 of these players will be eased in.
You bastard :sulk:Quote:

Well, we're finished as a force in football for the foreseeable future.
Bould staying too apparently :doh:
Alexis has a "provisional" 3 year deal agreed with the chavs. Fee will be in the region of 28mill.
Gibbs has signed a new 5 year deal worth £140K per week.
