    Nope. I said he should go after we failed to beat Birmingham in the Cup Final a few years back.

    What doesn't make sense is sticking to the same opinion on things regardless of new information. I've given my reasons for thinking he deserves a change to build on it if we win the FA Cup. If we mess it up, given the teams left, he should go.

    Two big criticisms of Wenger are that he won't spend big and we're not winning trophies any more.
    Last year we smashed our transfer record on Ozil and made a big bid for Suarez. The new commercial deals should see us able to continue that level of signing.
    We really should win the FA Cup.
    If we do then I'm not sure that's the right time to be changing manager with all the upheaval that could bring.
    Yep. Give him a 2 year contract, when that expires one of the top top managers (Ancelotti, Pep or Klopp) are likely to become available.

    Handing over the keys to a rookie like Martinez now? Nah.

    Ancelotti could still get sacked this season

    Ancellotti isn't the right person for this club.

    Gaurdiola, maybe. But only if we're spending money. He's had Barca and Bayern, who have stacks of cash.

    If there is still some limits on resource, we need someone very very good, able to compete without endless bankrolling.

    That rules out quite a few supposedly top managers.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    I'd never want Guardiola at this club, I find the football his teams play incredibly boring to watch.

    From what I've seen, Klopp would be the ideal manager, but you just never know.

    Ferguson though Moyes was a good bet.

    People said Spurs were going places with AVB.

    People on here said Owen Coyle was better than Wenger.

    What is clear, is that we don't need to panic and appoint any old cunt. We have time. We've been patient enough, if it takes two years, I'm up for that. At least the lights will still be on, when Wenget leaves, meaning a good base for someone to take over.

    Agree with this. While I think it's time we started looking beyond Wenger, I'm not clamouring for him to be gone immediately. It's going to be a monumental decision to replace him so we need to get it right. If it takes another 2 years then so be it, I think Gooners have been an incredibly patient and tolerant bunch, so waiting a little while longer makes no difference to me personally.

    Though I don't think we'll have any excuses left if we don't win the cup or even worse fail to finish 4th.

    I have nothing against Ancelotti. We'd be in safe hands.

    We have to take our time and pick the correct manager but I don't want us to miss out on a top candidate. I think Manure will be sniffing around for someone solid pretty soon.

    Yep, I think Diego Simeone at Atletico would be a good bet too, very similar to Klopp in terms of how he has built up his team with relatively restricted funds.

    Atletico play very good football too and are a geniune match for Barca or Real.

    I do agree that we need to be smart in the selection process when replacing Wenger.
