Have absolutely no sympathy or respect for Gazidis. Did he want Wenger gone? Possibly but no one is forcing him at gunpoint to be Josef Goebels now.Quote:

To be honest Gazidis has got to go regardless, he's done next to nothing except get a pay rise since he arrived, as someone who is above Wenger he should behave like it instead of the way he handles himself.Quote:

I totally agreeQuote:

I don't because by staying, he's complicit.
Rumours are he handed in his resignation but it got rejected by stan.. make of that what you will
Gotta be careful with what I sayQuote:

Typical Arsenal. They could have got rid of all these underlings during that farcical summer shake-up when virtually nobody left. Instead we drag it all out another year.
Pretty muchQuote:

Meh either way
I also trust him to make the right appointment when the old goat finally leaves.
He said arsenal need someone that can handle the enormity of the club, so i doubt he'll go for a moyes.
You talk about children quite a lot. Is there something you want to own up to?Quote:

I'd get rid of him and find someone more able to handle of position like that, someone who won't take any rubbish from people below him. To habe Wenger go above him is very embarrassing for him, anyone else in that position would have walked due to be undermined.

Before rushing out to make sure the silly old fool isn't saying something incredibly stupid to the press. Maybe we need a nurse rather than a CEO.Quote:

I tend to agree, if he really wanted to leave he'd have kicked up more of a fuss, I suspect the sweetener was the nice pay rise for doing nothing, not a bad job if you can get it, not in charge of anything and pay rises for delivering nothing.Quote:

That's the impression I get as well, not many people in his position would just accept Wenger going above him as easily as he has. Money seems to make this club go round, noone seems to have any pride in their job.Quote:
