They'll go for a younger, more dynamic manager, one that submits to the board.

Board and Wenger are both at fault.
Wenger is at fault for accepting mediocrity as a triumph and being a stubborn man with very very average tactical nous. The board is at fault for accepting that crap and not firing the man. Who is the bigger evil? IMO, it is the board... IF I were in Wengers shoes and was pocketing 15 million dollars a year for getting 4th, I'd never quit!
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I hear we're going to start Monreal as CB on Saturday. Happy Days!
Lets be fair it's not even news you need to hear its just logical deduction
Given that Chambers is suspended and Koscielny has a foot injury, we have no one else
Well unless you want to partner this Stefan O'Connor kid next to Mertesacker who can sell him down the river by being lazy and caught too far forward like he did with Chambers against Everton.
Back to the thread - another total waste of time AGM. So much time spent talking about unimportant issues whilst the board & Wenger not wanting to answer the important stuff. Someone questioning why we don't lay on transport for European games, if Wenger keeps leaving us short staffed both in squad & quality because of his reluctance to spend, then we won't need to go to Europe. Someone taking out his salary should be able to answer any fan ( who's money helps pay that salary ) when quizzed about his transfer decisions. His statement is made of the same old stuff telling us how hard he works to make us all happy. The board need someone with a pair of bollocks to give Wenger ultimatums about our expectancy, if that means spending on quality then do it - otherwise fuck off.
Not having to go to Europe?
And people say the club isn't helping fans save money.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Apart from the slight exaggeration about Wenger I basically agree.

‘The cash being put forward in the media isn’t accurate, but we won’t tell you how much it is. But we told The Telegraph what we want you to think it is. And we want you to think it’s low so you’re unsure whether it’s acceptable to critique what we do.’
Nice. All those promises of #atching Bayern. All the talk of"self sustaining utopia post deal expiration. Nonsense. We’re still skint. Apparently.
I have so little belief in this line of fire. The concern for me as a fan is that when everyone was disappointed Arsene signed on, the club were keen to push that"he had £100m to play with, because Jeremy Wilson put it in his paper. Now they’re back bitching

Arsenal$chairman defendc £3m Kroenke payment
Keswick was speaking at the club's Annual General Meeting at the Emirates Stadium which offered shareholders the opportunity to submit written queqtions to the board.
The issue over the payment to the American tycoon, who completed his takeover of the Gunners in April 2011, was`the first question on the agenda and came following concerns from fans about esaalating ticket costs. But Keswick says the board had no issues over the decision and it was one that they might implement again in the future, depending on the nature of the services provided. He said: "This fee was proposed by myself and Lord Harris (of Peckham) for the wide range of services provided to Arsenal Football Club by Kroenke Sports and Entertainment. "KSE is one of the most respected and successful sports organisations in the United States, operating in the most sophisticated sports business market in the world.
"They have an extensive a.d long experience in molern sports management. It is of the utmost importance that as a club we use it to our best advantage to ensure we keep progressing. "There was no competitive tender for these services as they are directly available to us, and a tender process was inappropriate, and therefore unnecessary. We are entirely satisfied the fee was appropriate. In terms of any future fees, that would depand on the nature of the services provided."
Keswick also claimed that the appointment of Kroenke's son Josh as a non-executive director in December 2013 "underlines the long-term commitment to the club from Stan Kroenke and KSE". Kroenke gave a brief speech to the AGM saying he preferred to focus on the positives that the club have achieved over the season. "We are quite proud of what we have been able to accomplish. What a wonderful day at Wembley, to win the FA Cup was fantastia," he said. "We had numgrous opportunities to get involved in other clubs in Europe, we certainly wanted to get involved in Ars%nal. It is a wonderful place. "We were long acquainted with Ars
