Wenger this, Wenger that, Wenger controls the club, all the usual bullshit but now with the added twist of seeing the blow it up gang lining up behind the press to persecute the manager - the British media FFS! And going as far as to apologise for PHW, a guy who inherited his position and sold it the moment key individuals were ejected. "We don't want his sort here", right up until the cash was flashed and Pete realised he'd get a chunk. Yeah, there's a huge similarity between Wenger and PHW, LOL. An Arsenal man through an through is our Pete.
The whole time the most obvious fact is overlooked. If the board wanted Wenger out then Wenger would be out. So the fans can scream all they want about Wenger but until they start directing that fire at the individuals who can actually get them what they want then they are wasting their time and boring the rest of us to death in the process. It all seems far too contrived. Ignore the elephant in the room and press every ounce of blame onto one guy. That's realistic, isn't it? And get Klopp in while you are at it because that'll change the board's agenda overnight, won't it? Stands to reason, provided you don't think anything through realistically. Of course Klopp could always join and then quit in protest, that would be useful and necessary in fact or else he'd be in the same position of having to go along with the agenda. Whether he's take the opportunity to criticise his bosses at every turn, who knows? My money is on no, he wouldn't.
And a special mention again to the "told you so" self-congratulation crew. Well done boys. There's no way to test if your half solutions would be successful because guess what, the board is still here and the board still wants Wenger to be here. It must be murder having to dodge around that all the time to get at Wenger.
It's amazing how some fans just don't get that Arsenal is now an investment vehicle. Fine, go ahead and change the manager, the players, the stadium, the pitch, the menu, whatever you want. I accept the fact the current manager is fucking up in a lot of respects. But I also accept the very obvious fact he's doing pretty well in other areas that would probably crush other managers, such as having to sell his key players every year. Now to the people suggesting he wants to do that so he can make money for his bosses - grow the fuck up really. Stop making shit up and adding two and two to get nine hundred. Player sales is the area where Wenger has diverged the most from the board, even to the point of making himself look ridiculous. He even said we couldn't be a big club if we sold our top players. Do you think that went down well in the boardroom? Now he wants for money for Walcott to stay, I can't wait to see how this is spun into an attempt to force Walcott out. I want him to stay, I think he will stay, give him more money - Wenger forces Walcott out! LOL guys, just LOL.
Quick note to those who assume otherwise, if I saw Kroenke I CERTAINLY would call him a **** right to his face. I've never had any problems telling the truth. I wouldn't do it in public where he'd get the benefit of trying to assume the moral high ground. But in private, no problems. Anyone who came into our club knowing nothing about it beyond the investment potential who then set out to pillage it would get the same response from me. I'm just surprised every fan doesn't see it the same way.
As for Wenger, I wouldn't have any problems telling him about himself either and commenting in detail about how his stubborness is costing us on the pitch - IN MY OPINION - because we're outside after all looking in, so maybe, just maybe we wouldn't be as effective as Wenger in the management role. It has to be entertained as a possibility at least. But I'd keep at the back of my mind the deep admiration I felt for the guy when he was guiding the best footballing team I've ever seen to so much (earned not bought) glory. And that would help me achieve a balance to any frustration I am feeling at the current state of affairs.
PHW though. Seriously? Fuck him. He has his money, he's shovelled the club into the hands of theives and gangsters, he's not even connected to Arsenal any more after his sell out. Fuck him. He's just a lingering stink. Respect? For what?
