Whose Fault Is It?

[Fist of Lehmann]

Dick Law does the negotiations.

I don't think Wenger is any more involved in the process than any other manager.

DICK OUT!

[GP]

DICK OUT!

Way ahead of you.

The thing is, we dont actually know how involved Wenger is.... He cant be as involved as everyone in here seems to believe, because then we could save millions in wages on all the different directors/leaders/whatever in the club.

If a manager could get whoever he wanted, of course he would he get those players. We've seen this year that we went for a 40m bid on Suarez, do you guys really believe its Wenger saying "lets not go over 40mil" or the people who runs the business part of our club (board/director/whatever)?

I believe our Manager just have enough class to not whine about the utter incompetence of some of his colleagues.

We do, he's said he has a big influence.

Not Wenger, he believes in value for money and won't pay over the odds and would rather no sign someone than sign someone and pay more than he should.

I don't think Wenger has shown himself to be that classy in recent years, lots of incidents involving him, lots of lies and on top of blaming the fans plenty of patronising comments. I can't believe the guy still has supporters out there if I'm honest, what would it take to prove he's just not up to the job anymore?

I don’t believe that for a second. Wenger doesn’t separate the business aspect from the technical. If so, then contract negotiations shouldn’t influence the starting 11 and it did last season with Theo. Why did Wenger bench him? Why would contract negotiations influence him to bench his top goal scorer and assister? Shouldn’t he have been able to keep that separate? If he really wanted Theo, couldn’t he have told Dick to pay the kid what he wants so we could focus on football? It’s not as if Theo was sulking either so I don’t get why he’d do that. Also, if Wenger has the ear of Stan Kronke and then he can pretty much overrule whatever anyone else has to say. After over a decade with the club, I find it hard to believe he doesn’t have the final say .

I don't care. They have all feathered their nests and left the club in the lurch so they should all fuck off. They are here to do a job and sure they get paid for doing it, but they have taken care of the getting paid well bit and forgot the job bit. Even banksters resign after they have robbed the place. The thing that makes football different is the lock in they have with the customer and boy do they milk it. None of these people are fit to be in charge of a football club.

I also think there's a shit load of misplaced faith in this squad, he probably thinks twice about signing a quality player because of how it may affect a player he's worked for a few seasons on.

I wonder how much of that is bluster, I can't believe he seriously thinks this squad is good enough.
He can't...can he?!

Are there any rules against women playing in the EPL?

[BlindFaith_8]

Wenger all the way. No manager in this age of football would not spend on enhancing thier playing squad, it's unthinkable, fcuk me even league 1 and league 2 clubs have spent more money than the us. I cannot believe the a club like Arsenal with such liquid assets would be holding back the manage from spending the damn money unless the manager refuses to spend it. I dont blame anybody elese but this cuunt.

Who cares whose fault it is now. Quite clearly the whole lot of them are to blame, and each for their own part in the mess.

What matters now, is who is going to put it right, and whether there is any desire from anybody in charge to do that.

The worrying thing, I can't see anyone stepping up.

Wenger all the way. No manage in these times would not spend on buying players, fcuk me even league 1 and league 2 clubs have spent more money. I cannot believe the a club like Arsenal with high liquid assets would not go and spend the damn money unless the manager refuses to spend it. I dont blame anybody elese but this cuunt.

So the board, his bosses, have just sat by and watched him asset strip, not invest and achieve the bare minimum each season?
Even if that's true they've done bugger all about it. What manager at any other club at our level would have retained his job this long without winning any trophies?
