Former Players Views

[Xhaka Can’t]

Not surprised by the Board and Wenger. We've always known Wenger won't be dictated to.

Name one manager with an ounce of self respect that would be dictated to in that way? If Van Persie tried that shit with Fergie, all that would be left of van Persie would be a nasty grease stain on the wall. And rightly so

This is the dilemma. Where is the change going to come from if nobody says anything? It's not for the player to dictate to the coach but we curse the direction the club is going in and the lack of ambition but how can things change?

Here's the thing. Until Kroenke has banked his profit then nothing is going to change at this club. RvC must have known that too, even if his intentions were 100% in favour of the club then it would have been a spectacularly dumb move to imagine one player (no doubt viewed as a raw asset rather than a human being by vampires like Gazidis) could change the direction. This is like a secretary going up to the boss of Monsanto and saying let's stop poisoning the fuck out of people. And the boss says, you know you are right, fuck the billions of quid let's do it your way.

Kroenke hasn't put a penny into this club. The bastards that went before him (bar one guy who threw peanuts) put fuck all in either. Arsenal has been identified as a cash cow and is being milked. Wenger is the guy they have chosen to balance this primary objective with the ongoing pretence of being a corporation primarily concerned with football. And he does a great job of it. Only problem is, that's not what the fans want - but who are they? Just unwashed scum in the eyes of the board, listen to PHW if in any doubt.

If RvC loved the club and the fans as much as he claimed he could have taken a big pay hike and stuck it out. The fans would have much rather seen that happen than this alleged bust up where he effectively showed himself the door. Because the execs aren't going to have the curtain lifted on their game or see the emphasis shifted to the secondary agenda at the expense of the primary. No one man is bigger than the cash flow forecast. If RvC thought he was big enough to take them on he badly miscalculated who he was up against.

A Russian mobster will be next up. Good times, get with the program and don't for one second ever think your view counts for shit. Don't make the same mistake as RvC.

As are most articles from any place but its gives us a talking point tbh

Without these articles, this place would be deader than your sex life

Or your penis.

Don't need to read an article from Goal.com cause most are BS anyways. However it was true then RVC was dumb to think he could tell a manager what to do.However the fact he still compliments Wenger does not seem to me like they were are on the odds, i doubt he would hold back now if it was the case.

If you don't need to read it then you've said your piece and might as well move on because you're adding nothing else to discussion. Best thing to do is read it, weigh up what the two camps have said and then form your own opinion. No point in arguing or cosigning other posts when you haven't read it.

Read my response to NQ. It's a dilemma because Wenger and the board won't listen to anybody. Critics, former players, staff, the fans....

[Cripps_orig]

Or your penis.

Pretty much

Your post has nothing to do with it. No manager in football could or would put up with that from a player.

No manager anywhere would put up with it, that's what hierarchical bullshit is all about. I once called one of my managers a **** and even though I was 100% correct the **** still fired me.
