Do you still want Wenger as Arsenal manager?

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

sure a manager on the high street but that has no relevance here, as i keep stating, his level is equivalent to a lower level director. it's unbelievable that you think someone would invest and let someone lower down control their strategy. it is a business, don't forget that.

what you're doing here is confusing their belief in his strategies that have returned stacks of money for shareholders to flog off, with the idea that he is dictating it all. put in simple terms, the board and the manager agree on many many things, so why would they be blocking his ideas around the pitch?

selective quoting from that link. he says that he would go if undermined and that he has control of all the technical aspects (ie the team). that doesn't mean he tells the board what to spend, if they say no, then it's no but it probably hasn't happened much, as he likes to do it all on the cheap and they love it.

why would a new owner go against wenger when the club is making profit? noone seems to be answering that one. we are making profit, wenger is in charge, why would stan change this strategy and go against wenger which is what some of you are implying.

i also never said they are blocking his ideas around the pitch. where did you get that from? im saying they arent blocking anything and its wenger who has chosen not to spend on experience. whilst some of you are saying it 'must' be down to board, as your beloved wenger cant suddenly have gone mad.

You're saying Wenger has full control of the club and that no-one else is involved with the club's direction or transfer dealings?
Seriously?

As for 'project youth', why did he do that? Because he wanted to? Because the board imposed transfer restrictions on him? What? I don't know.

Again, you're claiming far more knowledge of what's going on at board level in the club than you actually have.

no stop talking rubbish. i said he has full control over the club not that noone else does anything, or that people dont suggest ideas/how to deal with transfers/wages. this does not mean there arent people who help out or do the work for him. but wenger runs the rule of everything. in that sense, he has full control.

as for the youth project, wenger quite openly admits he decided to go youth because he saw the trend towards takeovers and teams spending millions, and knew we couldnt compete. thats not claiming to know board level information, its simple, open information available to anyone. so dont imply things that simply arent true.

"The decision was to go for more youth when we decided to build a new stadium because we are not in a position where we could spend £30m or £40m on players," said Wenger. "Whether people accept it or not is one thing but, today, we have a good side, we make profit and we pay our debtors back. People are scandalised when banks lose money but I'm scandalised when football clubs lose money. For me it's the same process. I'm not against spending money; I'm against losing money."
