It will be a bit of a shame watching the filthy bastards push Wenger out front as a sacrifice to try to save their own well rodgered and diseased arses.

Well it will end the argument one way or the other at least...if another manager comes in and it's business as usual with lack of meaningful investment than we know it was the board. But i'd still have no sympathy for AW because even if it was the Boards intention not to spend money simply by remaining at the club as long as he has he has shown himself to be a willing participant.Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn
No I don't have any sympathy left for Wenger either, not after he walked into this season with his eyes shut against all the realities and inevitabilities that were looming. But whatever happened to the buck stopping with the guy at the top? It was a myth anyway I suppose as it was a US president who coined the term and we all know how they love the notion of personal responsibility. But it would be nice to see the grubby bastards in the suits who are most detached from the club yet do great harm to it having to stand up. They should all be going as this is a disaster (obviously in sporting terms and not in real world terms), they are shockingly incompetent and the proof is there to see.

My fear is that the only way you'd get the board out is for Jabba the Hutt to buy the club
I'm pretty damn sure that's their plan. Usmanov has already showed a willingness to pay above the share price. Kroenke comes in, strips the assets, banks the cash from the undervalued commercial deals, takes advantage of increased TV cash plus any Euro money Wenger can tag on, paying down the debt is on auto-pilot anyway as is the increase in resulting asset value. Then present the final product to the fat murdering gangster with audited evidence the tangibles are up as opposed to intangibles like the team. Take the money and let the Russian deal with the mess on the pitch.
But the team might be collapsing a little faster than they anticipated.

We can only hope tbh
Time for a real billionaire owner to run the club, were fucked otherwise
There is a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" argument but ffs we have £70m sitting in the bank, I've heard we've actually got plenty more than that.
We don't need a sugar-daddy to spend big, we need a manager and board who want to and are competent in transfer negotiations.
We need a manager and board genuinely interested in being successful, we have neither they're pretty much content with just watching profits come in and settling for 4th place.
Wenger wouldn't have got away with this at any other top club because at some point in the last 8 years the owner/board would have demanded an improvement and some sort of silverware.
The thing I CANNOT forgive Wenger for is making me agree with Zim.
How bad does the club have to do (result-wise) before we're not making money? Because i dont think our owner gives a fuck, before the red numbers start showing up.
