Wenger to sign a new deal

[Marc Overmars]

Last chance

One more year

This summer

etc

Same old buzzwords. Does anyone even trust him to get the team performing to a higher level anymore? I mean, on paper at least, most of us were somewhat satisfied with what we did last summer in the transfer market, yet nothing changed and arguably the quality of football declined even further.

Unless we sign some special players I can't see us doing anything beyond a 4th place cup challenge.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No more of this please:

 

Come on Wenger, reboot the old version.

-United. head and shoulders above us even with Moyes at the helm.
-City better than us and now have a better manager than that twerp Mancini
-Chelsea. Now with added Mourinho, a machine that regularly eats Wenger`s for breakfast
-Us same shit as before
-Spuds, a sniff worse than us and could get better, or worse if the great ape leaves
-Liverpool. Can they stay crap for much longer?.

Face it chaps. The game is moving on rapidly, only at the Emirates does the shit stay the same. I will genuinely feel bereaved if the fool is given an extension.

Chelsea and City both have more resources than us, Utd do too although don't have the infinite money cheat on the first two do.
Is it reasonable to expect us to do better than 4th in an era where money and success are so closely correlated?
Where we are failing though is we should be closer to Utd and further away from Spurs, there's no way they should be breathing down our neck.

What is reasonable is to expect improvement, year on year as at the end of the day it is a competition. Each year we have 4 opportunities to win something. 8 years we have failed miserably. That means 32 times we have failed. Or more appropriately. Wenger has failed. David CAN beat Goliath. Or Swansea would not be FA cup champions. The problem with keeping Wenger is that he kills all reasons for hope. Ragnarok will occur before that zealot wins anything again.

Difference is that we know for a fact that the next few years should be different with the new revenue streams and that should put us in a more reasonable position to compete with the likes of City, Chelsea and United.

As servertobusy stated it's incredibly naive to think that Wenger hasn't been inhibited the past few years in the transfer market. We've had to make a profit on transfers just to make a profit the last few seasons once the one off property money dried up, that's how laughably weak our commercial revenue streams have been.

Furthermore, I'm not for replacing Wenger unless there was a clear viable choice to bring in who would be better. There's no point replacing bread for gruel. At the moment I can't see anyone better that would come here, Klopp's committed to Dortmund, Pep and Mourinho have joined new clubs etc etc.

You say that you know something for a fact SHOULD be different. Grammatically and logically incoherent. The future is unknown. 8 years of failure however is an undeniable fact and we haven't been poorer than Swansea, Blackpool or Birmingham in those years

Wenger is easily the best manager in the world, there's little doubt about that given what he's achieved.

But he's a mediocre football coach.

So, woohoo, for the board.

Meh, for the fans.

[fakeyank]

FFS! All the wages we have saved from getting rid of those 3 fucks is going to go this clowns extension!

Might as well rename the club Arsene FC!

Interesting this news has come out so soon after the season ticket deadline passed
