That's the point. This time the player wouldn't be blamed it would be the club, the attempt to shift blame onto the player in the media has failedQuote:

Wenger should be suicide bombed.

They don't care about the fans Herb. The board have offered the Manager a 2 year contract and literally none of the fanbase want him to stay.Quote:

Do they want a pliant fan base? Will they allow Wenger to sign on despite the fans reaction? Probably yes but they are saturating the media with the changes that are going to be made. Even if not true why would you come out with this if you didn't acknowledge that without the fans the whole self sustaining model crumples.
I think in the current state it's not just as simple as replacing people who don't renew their season tickets further down the waiting list, some of these people were placed on the waiting list years ago absolutely no guarantee they will take up the offer.
I am sure they would like to be in a position where they don't give a fuck about the fans, but it's not viable
If Sanchez wants to go to Chelsea, he'll go, we saw it with Ashley Cole before him and we'll probably get screwed over like we did then too (and with Fabregas). Players usually get what they want, especially at a club like ours, we've seen it many times.
Fact is we'll sell and if he doesn't want to go abroad and wants to stay in London we'll take the money, Kroenke won't let 35 million disappear. Yes sure Wenger will say this and that like he has many times before, but they're just empty words, when he's confident someone will stay they more often than not leave.
Chelsea will be Champions, win stuff, have top players and aren't scared to spend and will pay him the big wages, pretty simple decision for him if he wants to win stuff.
