New manager

[I am invisible]

Only way I see a new manager is if Wenger decides he has had enough but wouldn't be surprised if he is given a role in the board room and tasked to select the next manager.

I'd actually love to see him take over the academy, when he eventually decides to retire from management - he's always said that developing young players is the part of the job that gives him the most satisfaction, and what an incentive that would be for the best young young players to join us instead of our rivals: the chance to learn from Arsene Wenger instead of some nobody!

I dont want him to have any influence on first team matters if he does leave. He's had 18 years to do what he wants under no pressure fom above and he has to accept that someone else should come in and do what he believes in rather than follow orders.

No pressure?

Nice idea but for someone claiming to give youth a chance how many players have actually been brought the academy under wengers reign. Cole, gibbs, wilshere. Szczensy was signed at 15 I think. Can't think of any others that have a big contribution to us.

I'm really starting to think he may walk away this summer, his body language is that of a beaten man. You have to think whether the players are starting to wonder if he'll sign a new deal as well.

you mean the same body language he carries around every time we have performed badly in the last five years

Well, if he hasn't felt the quality has been good enough, then there's his chance to something about it!

Hell no! More tippy tappy passing drills during training? No thanks.

Still going on about the 'spirit'

That's the sort of stuff you should be learning at academy level though - the basics. I have no problem with seeing it at that level - it's the first team training methods that need updating...

No pressure?

Yes, pressure. Getting 4th is about as tough as it gets for him. We have the 4th highest wage bill in the league so we're just about doing enough but he is never under presure like other managers, he is never going to fight not to to lose his job, to spend properly or to challenge properly! no to mention that his tactics and lack of preparation.

he has gotten a far easier ride than anyone else and apart from cetain sections of the fans, everyone is respectfull towards him and his name is sung at every game so not much pressure.
