Thats the only way I see the dinosaur leaving. At this point, I think I'd rather finish 17th than 2nd because I think that will likely increase the possibility that he will get the axe. Again, there is no promises on how this fossil will be forced out of the club, but anything to break the status quo and push him out of this club.Originally Posted by Letters
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I know what you mean, but I can't help but want us to do the best we can, even though some times I get apathetic about our perfomances.
Wenger should have been sacked last season or a decision should have been made that this season will be his last with no contract offer on the table.
Looking at the level of competition, this would be the season I'd expect us to fall out of the top 4 if just looking at our rivals. I'd need to see a complete capitulation like I've never seen before to get really angry about falling out of the top 4. Something like our lowest point tally under Wenger. In fact, that's the only way I think he'll lose his job if they haven't already decided he has to go.
He'll be offered a new contract, top 4 or not.
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.
That's what I think as well. I genuinely don't think our board has a succession plan, they're fucking clueless.
Not sure about that. I think maybe a one off season outside the top 4 then yes, if we'd slipped into mid-table as many on here predicted we would he'd have been long gone.
This is the eternal dilemma with Wenger.
He's kept us in the top 4 all this time and you have to give some credit for that, but it's increasingly clear he won't win us another title. I guess it's becoming less of a dilemma because even if under a new manager we do drop out of the top 4 then at least things would be different and there would be some hope that at some point we would seriously challenge again. Right now, as much as I want Wenger to go out on a high it seems increasingly unlikely.

They've got to have something planned. Wenger has set a rule where he'll decide his future in the summer and that's a poor position for the club to be in. If things were to get so bad where he'd decided against staying, they'd have to scramble around for a replacement.
When Wenger is gone, they'll actually have to do some work. Easy for them if he stays.
If he were to win the title this year, it would go down as one of the greatest wins of his career. To come out on top in a year where Pep, Klopp, Jose and Conte are all in the league at the biggest clubs...that's a big deal. That's a Royal Rumble.
And frankly I wouldn't blame him if he failed, this year. There's a lot of good teams and a lot of good managers around, so long as we challenge I wouldn't hammer Wenger if we fall short.
It was last year the damage was done, if we were ever going to win the league under Wenger again it was surely then. Ah well...
