Arsenal AGM 3rd June 2016 - Gazidis "Wenger is going nowhere"

[Munchies]

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is going no time soon, says chief executive Ivan Gazidis

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/...-says-chief-e/

Gazidis: "There is not nostalgia. We have Arsène as manager as our board believes he can deliver success. We feel we are on a good path."
Gazidis on life after Wenger: "Whenever it happens...it is not something we are going to be facing imminently."

AGM tomorrow. Already know what it's going to be like. No accountability or anything

Wonderfully misleading headline by the telegraph

Misleading?

Nothing we don't know already, Wenger decides when he wants to leave and no one else. I wonder if Gazidis genuinely believes the bit about having confidence in Wenger to deliver success though. I understand he's not going to say anything different publicly, but surely he has his doubts by now privately. Or maybe it's the definition of success, if it's about making the board members very rich then I have every faith in that.

Misleading?

Wenger is going nowhere anytime soon, which insinuates heavily that Wenger will stay beyond his current deal

And nothing Gazidis says suggests anything other than they are not sure what his decision is

That is what you have determined to believe. A man has a contract ending in a years time and you think this means anything other than a renewal by Xmas. Its probably been signed already but were too embarrassed to announce it. Ive always had you pegged as a closet AKB. Come this time next year all you will be saying is. "Well its been renewed for another 3 years. Nothing we as fans can do, so we might as well get used to it"

I often say that apart from a few usernames I recognise that most people on here fail to have a singular sense of identity on here, you are amongst the many who are not particularly discernible to me. But from now on I will remember you as being a berk.

I don't believe that saying that a man of 66 years who hasn't won a significantly major trophy in 12 years is the right man to take us forward is anymore than PR, and that makes me the pathetic acronym label you describe?.

Do I agree that the board will offer Wenger a contract come what may? Yes unfortunately I do. Does this particular article offer any particular insight into Wengers intentions that make the title anything more than inflammatory? No.

Why would I be in the closet anyway?. If I wanted Wenger to stay I'd say so....why would I be coy about it?

Because I don't become menstrual about him, doesn't mean I don't think he should go.

So Wenger will be offered a new contract after another season where he hasn't delivered, he really does have a job whatever happens.

This guy has the easiest most stable job in football, no wonder he was scared to move to bigger clubs, he knew he wouldn't last a year and would never be guaranteed a job and big money for years on end anywhere else.

Shameful to be honest that the club dare to come out with sh*t like this after what was a very poor season where a team with few resources left us trailing in their wake, this after more than a decade of underperforming, but then with some of the fans we have who basically will accept anything it's no big surprise.

I'd say we probably have the some of the most delusional fans in football.

I agree that he had and still has the most stable job in football. But the easiest? For the bulk of his career that has clearly not been the case. If anything he has had the most difficult of jobs in world football. The pressure in the lead up and follow up to the move had to be immense. And for that period he was incredibly effective. And we were lucky to have him and the legacy he has left us from that will benefit us for generations.

However, he has failed to make the transition to the current situation and is now holding this club back from the latent capability this Club has as a result of his body of work. For everybody's sake he should be out the door, preferably voluntarily but forced out if necessary. We know however that neither is going to happen so we are stuck in this purgatory until he goes.

I saw easiest because there's no pressure for him to deliver from his bosses, he has full control to do whatever he wants however he wants and compared to what most manager have to put up with that's easy.

But yes it's clear he won't be leaving and shockingly it looks like a new contract is in the offing and this there's no end to the nightmare in sight. People can say he's here till the end of his contract and there's nothing we can do, but for him to get another contract is just shameful really and just shows what the club think about what fans feel (some of them at least).

Yes there is. He's still our manager because he's meeting his boss's targets. This really isn't rocket salad...
