Of course the twat Kroenke will want Wenger in charge for a long period of time. What shareholder would want to get rid of a manager who's making him a lot of money? Wenger is a capitalist's dream.

Instead of pontificating off to the press, Why dosent Stan hold a public forum with the fans or the AST. maybe then he would hear what the fans feelings are, rather than of those who mistook a sporting franchise for a fortune 500 blue chip company. The mugs who are making these easily satisfied investors the money are us fans. we should hit them where it hurts, Stay way from the terraces and watch the game from home. Then we`ll see if the club is heading is the right direction. it convenient that top 4 is seen as a psuedo trophy, what happens if the EPL loses a place as as happened recently with serie A. I guess then the Europa cup will be seen as a great target and top 6 will be the new top 4. if we drop outy of the top 6 then we can always fall back on the record of never having been relegated from the PL.........Arsene continuing a great club tradition in the face of all odds.

And maybe they'll achieve it but you could do it with any club given those resources (the fact they started in mid-table shows that) so it's not much of an achievement.

Top 4 should NOT be the limit of our ambitions, I certainly agree with that. But I think some people are underestimating how hard it is to consistently finish in the top 4 in the PL.

Neither of those two clubs are spending money on the basis of achieving a top 4 place, they want to win trophies and compete for the PL.

Man City do have a lot of resouces and it is hard to compete but Man U have managed it, the point is if you use our methods you have no chance, you can't rely on kids and cheap buys and expect to challenge, if we were serious we'd be trying to bring in top quality instead of the players we bring in.

Getting top 4 when you've come from further down the table is acceptable, but when you've been 4th for as long as we have it isn't, we should be moving forward and be genuine contenders, the fact we never are is a damming indictiment of the manager's performance, as I said before if you look at the whole picture he's not doing a very good job, there's people pointing out basic errors he makes all over the place, errors amateurs wouldn't even make.

Time for Usmanov?

No it is not time for Usmanov.

It is time for the financial resources generated by the Club from its fans and commercial activities to be deployed into the strengthening the team. I hate the parsimonious approach that has been taken in respect of investing in players, but likewise I don't want Arsenal to become another penis extension of a billionaire oligarch.

We were sold the idea of investing in a stadium in order to facilitate a greater investment in the team. Now all I ask is that the Board live up to their part of the bargain.

But it won't happen.

I dont really want Usmanov here either but i dont want the current board here either and Usmanov seems to be the lesser of 2 evils

I don't want the situation where one guy has total control and unfortunately we are in a position where Kroenke is pretty much in that situation. Only Arsenal could have two billionaire owners with a business model that not only lacks investment but even fails to make use of the resources the club generates.
