Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

A good thread about Rogers. Spot on about being a great tactician. You can have decent players in your team, but with good tactics, you can win with that team and play exciting football.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
quite right
According to the Telegraph, board wont sack him even if we finish outside the top 4 and dont win the FA cup.
Not surprising considering half of the board members know fuck all about football and are happy enough making money every season.
It might be correct but I wouldn't take it too seriously. How would the Telegraph know that? I doubt anyone in the club would have told them.
The board aren't going to sack him No, but he won't sign a contract extension without finishing fourth and winning the cup he knows the feeling against him will be too strong. There is no question of him being sacked, but i think he will definitley walk away without 4th and the FA cup, if he cared that little for the fans and what they think why hasn't he signed the contract already?
This isn't the first time that Wenger has f----d about over his contract but it shows his double standards when he accuses players of commitment issues when they do the same thing.
Think he needs to wait until the end of the season, whether we win the cup or not is irrelevant to me, if his lack of ambition especially in signing a decent striker means that we lose out on CL football then I would imagine the fans will let him know that he has overstayed his welcome in our final home game. The poor guy has done wonders for the club in the past but he is too stubborn & cannot see the obvious need to buy quality ( which is expensive ). Hope for his sake we win the cup & allow him to leave in a trophy winning year but if he stays a serves up another year of false hope then he will leave our club with the " master of failure" jibe being more appropriate than it should be.
Not really. Wenger has never shown anything other than 100% commitment to Arsenal. He has often waited to sign a new contract till all the details are sorted out, if I remember right one time he was actually out of contact for a while, but he always made it clear he would sign.
I essentially think he is a man of his word but I honestly think if he was 100% committed to being here after the end of season he would have signed the contract that has been offered him, the contract has been waiting since January and he could have signed during a period where the results were good...but I think regardless it has always been his intention to wait till the end of the season and reflect on what he has achieved before signing. And if both 4th and the FA cup don't happen I don't believe he will sign the new contract and may step down
So as far as I'm concerned its a 50/50 split as to whether he will be Arsenal manager next season. The board won't sack him, but I think it's clear they aren't pushing him to sign either I think especially as the season has unravelled their attitude has been well the ball is in your court, if you sign you sign if you don't you don't and I wouldn't be surprised if Gazidis has sounded out potential replacements if Wenger does walk away.
