But i accept that being the way it is, you tend to have to be careful about your next move.

If a manager has been at the club two or three years replacing that man isn't an issue, Ferguson had less say in the every day running of the club than Wenger does with Arsenal and the Man United board made an absolute botch of replacing him, and even now are they really that stable long term?....look at the atrocious mess Mourinho left Chelsea in

You may be happy to chop and change every few years like Chelsea, actually winning trophies despite rather than because of that policy....All i'm saying is fine we can do better than Wenger, let's make sure we do the research prepare the groundwork and bring the better person in.

I suspect that Wenger will be heavily involved in the choice of our next manager as it stands, which would be terrible news.

So you're saying there's no point in just ignoring you? ;)

Wenger has shown his contempt for the captaincy by making mertz captain despite him being out until next year.

Didn't that happen before his injury?

Wenger has never given much stock to the captaincy though. Remember his quote about having "11 captains/leaders" on the pitch ...... I don't necessarily disagree with him either. A strong captain would be nice but it's not essential.

He views it just as a formality more than anything and gives it out simply based on seniority usually.


Anyway I assume Santi will be captain for most of the season, followed by Kos.

I don't know, the article is on sky sports news app today :shrug:

Think it was officially confirmed today but it was reported about a month ago around the start of pre-season. Merts was next in line and Wenger was never going to take it away from him.

There's a first team captain as well I think. Arteta was club captain and Merts first team last season?
