Fair enough

In respect of Wenger, I think the consensus is that he has to go. The bad news is, he probably isn't until his contract is up.

I'm not even so sure about this. He scrambles 4th place over this season and next and a contract renewal/extension is definitely on the cards.

I can't see that happening. I honestly think we are approaching the end of the Wenger era. They won't sack him, but I doubt they'll offer him a new contract, and he probably won't want a new one anyway. Even he seems to see how toxic the situation is becoming.

I guess I might be looking at it too much from the perspective that we have a profiteering Board.

I don't think you can ever discount that fear. But the cupboard is pretty nearly bare when it comes to profiteering through transfers. Wenger's usefulness in that regard has just about been exhausted. If anything, he'll probably be counterproductive to maxing out on profits with the amount of stupid contracts out there and the plethora of dross we have out on loan.

I suppose BBA is talking about fans like me. I just think firing Wenger without getting rid of kroenke and at the least sacking Gazidis and changing the composition of the board will be futile. It might even spell the end of Arsenal at the top half of the table. I think we as fans can achieve more by demanding the halt in sale of our star players and paying the going rate salary wise for high performers in the team. The calls for Arsenes head only gives the board, gazidis and Kroenke a shield when they are the real reasons behind our decline.

I disagree slightly, we have bought a few decent players, and we have few young players that will/are making the grade (Wilshire, Gibbs, Ox etc). The problem is, we have a shit manager ! Bring Moyes in now and he would bring the best out of these players!

Ox is a bit shit

I agree we need a change of manager (of course) but I'm not convinced Moyes is the man. We need someone who's actually achieved something.

we actually have a manager who has achieved something but for one reason or another he doesn't have what it takes anymore. I'd happily trade Arsene for a young hungry manager who hasn't won a bean. I want ambition, sure the board have a part to play in this but arsene has form for his current methods, it's not like we're seeing a man who has suddenly changed his principles.
