    Will Arsene leave at the end of his current contract

    With comments from Gazidis recently and also Wenger, I get the feeling that he might get a new contract and continue for a few more years at Arsenal. The board probably had a look at what happened to United and the amount of money they have had to spend just to finish 4th and panicked.

    No sadly for us he's going to be around for a long time yet, which from a success and progression point of view isn't good news for us.

    Sadly, as usual, Wenger will do whatever HE wants to do with no pressure from above. The saying in football is "no-one is bigger than the club" - in Wenger's head, this doesn't apply to him.

    Wenger is under pressure, just not the kind of pressure man-toddler fans want him to be under.
    I really don't understand this idea that Wenger is under no pressure and it literally doesn't matter how we do. Of course it does.
    Had we slipped out of the top 4 (as the 'experts' on here have predicted year on year we would) then he'd have been long gone.

    As to the original question, it is probably up to him. If he continues to deliver what the board expects (which I think he will) and thinks he can still do a job for us then he'll stay.
    He's a far safer pair of hands than some of the laughable suggested replacements.

    The only pressure Wenger's under is from himself. When he gets beaten & its obvious to all why we got beat - he reacts with all his usual crap instead of addressing the obvious. Why - because it would prove he was wrong in the 1st place, he can't handle that - that's the only pressure for him, the constant battle to prove his way is the best way.
    We've seen how he crumbles when he's actually under real pressure. The 8-2 defeat by Utd, what did he do immediatley after - buy 3 players, 3 weeks into the season!. When he went to the directors to ask for the money, they should have told him to fuck off. He had all summer to address the squad problems & he did sweet FA, telling everyone his squad was good enough. He got it wrong, terribly wrong & he knew it. Problem is, he didn't learn from that.
    Few years later, after another terrible transfer window, not improving the squad we lose our 1st home game to Villa. Finally, the fans let him know their feelings - what does he do, he buys Ozil. Again proving to all, that his squad was obviously NOT strong enough, as he had suggested & he had got it wrong again.
    Here we are again, even you must see the need for another quality DM plus the blatantly obvious need for a proper goal-scorer. Lets see what happens if he loses at home to West Ham.

    I agree with that. That's the slow reactions I'm talking about. He needs to cut it out.

    Excuse me?

    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    I mean a trophy that counts

    (Obviously the FA Cup doesn't *really* count because if people assert that Wenger will never win a trophy for us again then we have to move the goalposts and dismiss the FA Cup rather than admitting we were wrong).
