Match Reaction vs Swansea

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Step back with dignity accept your time is over , you gave us great times but your time has past. A new regime is the only answer.

Could you record yourself saying that like you're Captain Black from Captain Scarlet and the mysterons.

But yeah that sums it up, in an ideal World Wenger would have his "soapy tit wank" farewell end of the season after once again getting us top four.
And a new guy comes in who heads up a large coaching team and who himself is directly answerable to Ivan Gazidis

I'd like to see Bould as manager surrounded by a team including people like Bergkamp and Keown

People that love the club

Rosicky has gone as a player, it's clutching at straws to believe he could have any kind of impact for us

Dropping contract rebels is one of the few things I applaud Wenger for, why should you give game time to someone not committed to the club (Wiltord, Edu and Lauren not big misses for us) and Walcott signed a new contract.

It's also wishful thinking to suggest things will get better when Wenger goes, another demagogue will be given far too much authority.
Id like to think I'm wrong and that Gazidis will reign the next man in but I'm not going to hold my breath

So you`re betting that the next man will be as idiosyncratic, blind to reality and dogma driven as Wenger.......You've got it bad my friend. There aren't many in football like Wenger. He likely wasn't like that when he arrived here. With Dein gone his ego filled the vacuum and his intellect shrunk in reverse proportion. The next manager will be selected from the pool of sane human beings i am sure. Unless wenger is given a say in who he is . Then of course history can repeat itself

You don't need to be knowledgable at football to know that a man shouldn't be responsible for hiring his own boss.
He has the power and authority because it was blindly given to him

Blindly given by a Board that are now gone and an arrangement Ivan, Stan and Chip have inherited.

But why shouldn't Wenger be responsible for hiring his own boss? Why not?

Also, you have't made a comment on the coaching set up and delegation. What does that tell you about Wenger?

[fakeyank]

You know whats disappointing? The fact that we were top of the table last year till Feb/March and a lot of people were cutting Wenger slack for not investing in the January window. The reason? We will do it next season and invest in the summer. Well this is next season and guess where we are at? Worse off by miles!

What a waste of an opportunity!

Unfortunately the end of season will be too late. Top four finish increasingly unlikely

It tells me that no-one has the presence of mind to stand up to him, do you think Wenger would walk if Gazidis or Keswick said you need to delegate more Arsene....would he fuck?

The likelihood is that Sanchez was bought with Wenger having no say in the transfer negotiation as he was in Brazil at the time? Wenger just accepted it.

I do agree with you when you say he's a control freak, but I also don't believe he's the type of person to cause a conflict if some things were taken from his control.

I could see this happening a mile off. Our opportunity for the title was last season but we didn't take it. There was no way Wenger would be able to
hang with a Mourinho team after he's had a year to iron out that Chelsea squads problems. Not only that, he handed another rival the title with foolish transfer dealings. Cesc shouldn't be at Chelsea.

Man United and Liverpool are in an even worse state than we are

And ill make a pledge here and now, I will give £50 to charity if we don't finish in the top four.

And I will document this and post it on the site to show I've done this
