    I put the question to you guys and gals- how do we as a club go on to win the league in the current climate? With an abundance of wealth at Manchester City, a monetary backlash expected at United and Chelsea, and a board who are, seemingly, happy with a 3rd/4th place finish, it now seems a million miles away. Seeing that clock tick down at the Etihad, from 44 years to the 0 years since they enjoyed a league victory, made me wonder. Just how long is it until we'll experience the same feeling again? And, more importantly, how will we get there? Stupid foreign investment? A new manager to tinker with the current squad? An influx of players who are inherently "fans" of the Arsenal?

    From a personal perspective, it all seems rather bleak at the moment.
    Sack the manager and get someone who wants to win. Someone who is not a mere mouthpiece of the board.

    The fact that the board would choose the next manager is not relevant then?

    You call others stupid when you quite often post comments that make no sense and end up having to backtrack.

    Maybe you should be careful what you say before you criticise others.

    Board will select a manager and give him resources. Same as Arsene Wenger or SAF or any other top manager. SAF uses those resources to get 200% out of his football team and not worry about player sales profit, pre-tax profits etc.

    Most importantly, getting a new manager will answer the biggest question at AFC- is it the board holding resources back or AW choosing to be a butt buddy of the board by maximizing as much profits as possible. I firmly believe its the later..

    Good point we'd find out the truth one way or another. But Coney is right this baord would only go and appoint a yes man tbh.

    If they do and we have the same cycle again, we know whose at fault. You peeps in London, get on a strike, make t-shirts () and get those greedy fuckers out! Having said that, if the board are to blame, I do not think the 'middle class- I wont do a thing' mentality of majority of Arsenal fans will do a thing. There will be plenty of 'keyboard warriors' though!
