    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.
    If the fans don't pay for tickets and blame the fact Wenger is still in charge for it...I guarantee they would sack him.......if the money dries up they'll have to come up with the solution and if the fans are calling for Wengers head then his head will roll.

    Money talks.

    I'm well aware why they buy them, doesn't change the fact that in a sense it's doing the club more harm then good on the pitch.

    You go and watch the team you love play, nothing wrong with that. Its the people who buy these tickets and don't go to games that are the problem. Because its like they go for the game or atmosphere they go cause they can and don't care what happens to the club they will still go.

    you really don't get being a paying supporter at all. which is fine if you're an armchair fan, people make their own choices and financial priorities. but don't sit and preach about how easy it is like some sort of computer game.

    you realise why we can keep increasing prices for tickets and everything else? because fans are addicted. no matter what the times, people will always, always come. it's an addiction not solved from a couple of posts to a couple of people on the net. if it means that much and you truly believe it would solve the action, why not get up and bring the message to others at the games. someone has to start it. why not you?

    It sure does, it's only inelastic because people don't think they can change anything though.

    I don't think clbs will ever be able to survive on that alone, they make huge amounts from matchdays, don't forget all the food etc as well as tickets.

    Wimbledon FC had empty stadiums, they never had any money to spend and didn't make money out of the club, the owner did it out of love for the club.

    Yes they will sack him if the money dries up, because the money has dried up. Nothing to do with fans saying he should go, if that was the case he would have been sacked last season with all the wenger our chants.

    The Arsenal board are not the Chelsea or Utd boards.

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.
    It's Wenger that goes along with it and gives his approval on who has to go. RVP met up with Gazidis and Wenger for contract talks and he wasn't sold because he asked for more money, he was sold because he was telling Wenger how to do his job and Wenger's ego was bruised. Theo isn't in the starting line up for similar reasons. Players aren't having talks with PHW and Stan. He's no puppet.

    Plus, we lose silly points because of his stubborn tactics and I feel a better manager can do more with the resources he is given.

    I know what you're saying....but IMO lots of fans just aren't willing to listen....the reaction to Wenger's AGM speech says a lot...too much sentiment for a man who has little respect for them.

    People say there's nothing you can do, maybe they're right....but if someone has a gun to your head and is telling you they are going to shoot you in 10 seconds will you just stand there and accept you're dead or try and stop them?

    The reason why i still have the season ticket is cos it will take years to get it back again and when the good times come back and they will, admittedly when Wenger leaves, i want to be there

    That is the one hope and im sure im not the only ST holder who feels that way hence why we keep it

    Yeah so its ok for someone to tell his manager what to do and no expect to be sacked sold?
