He's one of our legends that, so far, hasn't traded his legacy for cash. You could say maybe he has with this book. Except he's telling the truth. As far as I can tell, judging from the outside so that caveat of course applies, Wenger has made that trade. Put his own personal interests above that of the club. He's not the only one to do it, but he's done it nonetheless. Adams may be a bitter old drunk, but he's shown no sign so far of being as corrupt as Wenger.Quote:

A case of people shooting the messenger and ignoring the message. He's entitled to his opinion and an Arsenal legend.Quote:

What's everyone thinking then, will he stay or go?
I think he will probably stay but then again, I also feel there may be some on the board who are open to change. Also it was interesting to hear Wenger voice his disgust at the level of disrespect he's received this year, maybe even he's thinking is all this shit worth it at this stage of his life? No doubt if he stays on for another 2-3 years and doesn't deliver a league title and chokes in Europe it's going to be a lot worse.
Think he'll stay but I hope he goes.
I think in his mind he thinks we're a load of ungrateful twats who don't deserve him. If so then he'll be going for the wrong reasons but at least it would be on a relative high and he'd leave with a bit of good will.
If he stays and next season is as big a car crash as this one then it will all get quite nasty again.
My concern is that this won't even get discussed at board level
BBC sports saying he's meeting Kroenke, so that he may bypass the board directly.
Wrighty thinks he's off.
I think he'll stay.
I'm certain he is staying but I really wish he would leave.
I also hope no one buys Adams book. His last one was as boring as shit and he has nothing to say that people are remotely interested so he decided to cash in by throwing the man who brought him more glory than he could ever hope for under the bus.
He may be an Arsenal legend, but he is also a cunt.
I don't think he is at all, because it's being serialised it's clearly showing the most critical aspectsQuote:

General consensus seems to be Wenger will stay provided he gets his way over everything and his control is not diminished in any way. Sounds like the board is going to cave and try to save some face by "demanding" Wenger spends some money in the window. Only at Arsenal, the owners demanding the manager spends money. Apparently, according to the either made up or leaked press stories, Wenger will be "instructed" to get the transfer deals done quickly and efficiently so we aren't scrambling at the tail end of the window. Not exactly a smack down.
Big shame that Wenger didn't announce he was off in advance of the cup final. He would have got a memorable send off from 99% of the fans. Instead we remain in the dark. Not just about Wenger's position but also Alexis, Ozil, Ox and the increasing talk of Monreal heading out the door, which would be a shame considering he's one of our most reliable players.
