Wenger Referendum: Yes Or No

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Agreed but the guy is so stubborn I can,t see him going without a little push.

Hmmm I think he wanted to go last season, I think it's the board that are keen for him to stay and I wouldn't be surprised if they try and persuade him to stay after 2017

Sorry to make you even more depressed

That is why I stated that winning the FA cup last year has probably fucked us for the foreseeable future. I think the silverware has fed his delusional ideals that he was right all along, you can win things on the cheap & with very little tactical nous.
It really is a shame because I honestly don't want to guy to become a hate figure. The board have to take responsibility for the new contract - its like not wanting to put your beloved dad in a old folks home, so you keep him at home when you really don't have room for him.

I can't see why you'd say he wanted to go, he gave no indication of this.

I'm saying that because he waited until his contract had almost expired before he signed a new one when in the past a contract extension had been signed 18 months before the expiry of his existing deal

His body language on the touchline was that of a frustrated and unhappy figure, he's a deluded figure and since David Dein buggered off after bringing us the double kick in the balls of Kroenke and Usmanov felt like he had to take on the role of Atlas and do everything himself and the greedy, incompetent laissez faire board let him do it.

I'm not saying I'm definitely right, but I think part of him feels in signing a new contract he's doing the board a favour.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

And yes in case you're wondering I think last season would have been the perfect time for him to go and I wish he had

[Marc Overmars]

No one can say with a straight face that he is doing a good job anymore, I want him gone before this contract is up. He's tainting his legacy every additional year he remains at the helm.

Gazidis needs to earn his money here.

Well he gets paid 8 million pounds a year to experiment and use the team as some kind of "personal" project. It's not just about the nasty board. He's in a very privileged position IMO.

I'll tell you one thing, Wenger wouldn't get away with this in any other leading European team or any of our top 4 rivals, he knows this too.

Apart from City, United or Chelsea...Wenger would have kept his job

Despite our increased spending power we are in a lower financial tier to these clubs

I've no doubt his bumper salary and the lack of accountability is a big pull for him, but i cant believe the fan abuse (justified abuse) and probably knowing deep down he can't hack it anymore wasn't responsible for him waiting till the last minute to sign a new contract.

Gazidis is interested in self preservation

What incentive does he have to put the boot in on the manager, when the manager has the unquestioned backing of the chairman and the majority shareholder and the majority shareholders son (a trinity of for fuck sake)

You should see the state of the carpet in the VIP lounge when Old Uncle Arsene keeps having accidents
