exactly. just as before, manoeuvre whilst contract talks are 'ongoing', piss off the player and his agents and contact with other parties is also spiked.Originally Posted by GB.
everyone bar jenks is absolute **** in our team, and the ****ishness just gets bigger in the boardroom.
why all this pretense? just flog the whole fucking thing off and be done with it - either way, none of us can do a thing and they still get what they want.
PHW, may have a point in what he says, no way he should be going to the media about it. Id not expect the players or manager etc so neither should he.
what happens in house, stays in house.
Pretty much, no matter who is in charge while the tptb are still there, they will sell players how they want too.This indicates to me that Wenger isn't the problem at this Club and him moving on will solve nothing. The problem lies with the outdated influence and amateurish direction provided by the likes of PHW.
Wenger clearly wants to keep the lad, the board etc are not fussed, if he does not take the deal they are given him.
Like you say its all for Theo's exit, wait till mid march, he'll be slating Sagna next.
I am no big of AW but I know that the likes of PHW need to go first! I just wish that AW just resigns to show up these c*nts to the world. We need more clarity as to what the hell is going on within our club.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
jumble sale.
Thank you. He did the exact same thing with RVP and made an already difficult situation even worse. And why is he contradicting Wenger? Wenger says it's not about money, the player says the same and they're trying to build bridges with the fans and then PHW pulls this stunt.
If Wenger and Gazidis are involved with the contract talks, why is that PHW keeps talking out of place? But you're right about the club. Even if Wenger goes, we have a problem with the idiots we have running the club. I just Wenger would put some of these fools in their place.
Could not have said it better myself.
Have you got a link for that?

Arsene Wenger today insisted Theo Walcott is “not obsessed by money” despite the winger’s failure to agree a new contract and confirmed he will be staying at Arsenal.
The Gunners had privately indicated they would sell the 23‑year-old if he did not sign a new five-year contract worth £75,000‑a-week before tomorrow’s transfer deadline but their stance has changed after Wenger held talks with the player’s representatives yesterday.
Wenger remains confident Walcott will commit his future to the club but the negotiations are complex with the player seeking assurances about his role in the team — as revealed by Standard Sport yesterday — and harbouring concerns about their ambition in the transfer market.
Insisting Walcott will not leave in this transfer window, Wenger said: “His situation is simple. He will stay with us and play for us. Theo has one year to go and that is simple. Afterwards we have to find an agreement with him on whether to extend the contract or not for a longer period. That is what we want to do. I think Theo loves the club.
“Contrary to what some media write he is not obsessed by money, there is just a little difference we hope we can, at some stage, find an agreement with. That is it basically.”
Wenger remains hopeful of bringing in a defender and a midfielder before the closure of the window with Montpellier’s Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Swansea’s Angel Rangel possible options at the back and Etienne Capoue of Toulouse a rumoured replacement for Alex Song.
Yet the Gunners manager insists he is not under pressure to bolster his squad despite the loss of Song and Robin van Persie in recent weeks.
“We are active but we do not just want to bring average players in,” said Wenger. “If we find a special player who can find us a plus we will do it, if not we will not do it.
“I am relaxed. We have of course enough, that is for sure, but you want always to improve your squad and if we find a top, top, top player we will do it. What is important as well is to believe in the players you have and we will get our long-term injuries back.”
Standard Sport understands Nicklas Bendtner, Marouane Chamakh and Ju-Young Park did not train at the club’s London Colney base today, increasing the likelihood the trio will depart before tomorrow’s 11pm deadline.
Denmark striker Bendtner (above) is in talks with a number of clubs with Italy his preferred destination. Juventus and AC Milan are yet to formalise their interest with Arsenal asking for around £5million.
Wenger said: “There is a chance that Nicklas is leaving. We are open to anything.”
We do appreciate how long him and his ancestor have been in charge of the club? Let's take a look at Wikipedia:The problem lies with the outdated influence and amateurish direction provided by the likes of PHW.
He is the third generation of his family to serve as Chairman of Arsenal, following his father, Denis Hill-Wood (in office 1962–1982), and his grandfather, Samuel Hill-Wood (1929–1936 and 1946–1949). Peter Hill-Wood succeeded his father after the latter's death in 1982. He is not in charge of any day-to-day business at the club, which is generally run by CEO Ivan Gazidis, with manager Arsène Wenger responsible for football and first team affairs.
I find "amateur" a bit of a strange word to choose given his experience. Childish perhaps but that guy has a ton of experience and service to this club. I'm not saying he's "right" I just think it strange that people have chosen to isolate this individual for our present state given he's been chariman since '82.
Well he says it is about money. But just that the difference in what he's asking and what we're offering is not too big.
