Wenger Slaughterhouse

[Olivier's xmas twist]

no he wouldnt, because sadly even if our stadium isnt full on the day, tickets are sold out usually. all the season ticket holders etc. last year i remember them announcing attendances close to 60k when it was in reality close to 40k because they ahd sold the tickets.

When had a board ever listend to fans and ours at that.

If people didn't buy the season tickets in the 1st place it would make a difference.

true, but htat wont happen till next summer. this years money from tickets is pretty much already sorted

Well make up your mind. All managers do it for the money. Just cause their employers don't pay them top dollar is not Wengers problem.

I don't agree, some managers also do it to succeed and achieve something.

It won't happen, but it's foolish to say the fans are powerless......if income dried up they'd soon act on it.

Too much talk about the Board and our finances. Based off the last few performances and seeing how poor we are tactically, you have to hold Wenger accountable and stop talking about Ivan and Kronke. Wenger continues to play the same players that costs us points even though he has better options on the bench and that is why he's getting slated. He can't hide behind finances on that front.

If he goes into the Schalke game with the exact same team that lost to Man Utd and the same setup then there is nothing more to discuss.

There can never be enough talk about the board, it is their policies that see our best talent stripped from the club year on year. And Wenger is not a tactician, he's a statistician. He demonstrates this with his 68 minute and 72 minute pre-planned substitutions no matter who we are playing or what's happening on the pitch. He won't bother with two results, he'll plan over 50 results in a season. And if he comes out 4th then another "title" has been won. This is the financial AND football model for our club. Prior to that you had people like Dein who wanted to finish first because he was a fan as well as a businessman. These types have been purged.

The board rely on the fans....without their money they have nothing....a half full stadium would see the money dry up and thus they'd have no choice. The CL isn't go to make them money alone, they need gate receipts which brings far more in.

The board don't give a shit about the fans, they know they will get fans even if they don't turn up to games. The board won't say the fans want him out so he is gone, he will go when they are ready to get rid of him.

Yeah if the club is not making money and he is not meeting his targets he will be sacked, not because some fans say he should go.

They buy them to watch the team they love Ask ACH he has one.

[Niall_Quinn]

I disagree, if the stadium was half full and the fans called for his sacking he'd be gone tomorrow.

That's where inelastic demand helps out, it provides a buffer against that outcome. Besides, the TV money is getting so ludicrous there may come a time when empty stadiums are desirable. Less expenditure - more profit.

it wont, there are too many fans who would jump at the chance of a season ticket if offered it. i know i would and i want change. wont stop me going to games, that will do more harm then good
