The fans opinion won't be the most important factor.
At every other club it is, but not Arsenal. No manager survives amongst this much discontent, except for him.

Apart from "Bye!" what is he supposed to say? Standard responses to standard questions.
How about, "I made the WRONG decisions this season and it has cost us. Again. I'm the manager, I am responsible."Originally Posted by Letters
Can you even imagine Wenger saying something like that? Instead, he has made 20,000 substitutions, how many have you made? Or, how many cups did you win before he arrived? Or, the fans need to change.
Yes, it is the standard responses he's rolling out. What makes him think he can get away with that at this painfully late stage in the game? Kroenke and Gazidis I suppose. He has those two where he wants them, that'll be what he means when he says there are more important considerations than the fans.
Für eure Sicherheit
I wouldn't expect anyone to admit that unless it was a preface to a resignation.
And that's what annoys people about his stock responses because there is no resignation forthcoming
I reckon he was a goldfish in a previous life.
That all chestnut again, you always seem to have some sort of excuse for the guy, there are literally hundreds of things he could say that would be a better response, a bit of honesty about the situatio wouldn't go amiss and might endear him a bit more to people.
Precisely, all we hear (and have done for 10 years) is what is he suppose to say, other managers do the same (they don't I've seen plenty of top managers come out and accept responsibility and say when things haven't been good enough).
Part of the reason he's lasted so long is that people have been ready to make all kinds of excuses for him rather than just accepting it wasn't good enough.
He needs to make a decision, even if he signs the deal then fine, we'll have some closure for the time being. I'll personally check myself out of anything to do with the club, as will others, but at least for the team they won't be stuck in limbo.

Chips has spoken.
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-arc...senal-chairmanArsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick says:
“We are fully aware of the attention currently focused on the club and understand the debate. We respect that fans are entitled to their different individual opinions but we will always run this great football club with its best long-term interests at heart.
"Arsčne has a contract until the end of the season. Any decisions will be made by us mutually and communicated at the right time in the right way.”

At least coming out with a statement shows they're aware of the ill feeling.
If a person admits to being a loser that's pretty much it for them. We know also that Journalists ask stupid questions and then they are answered with short, arrogant answers.
Do I think Wenger is wrong for blaming the fans the way he has done in the past? Yes i think that's contemptible. But let's be fair you seem to be wanting him to acknowledge failure as a preface to him going, that's not unreasonable but it's unrealistic because he isn't going to announce he will resign at the moment...i wish he would but he won't.
Journalists don't ask proper questions they ask questions to try and bait "ah gotcha" responses, I know myself that Wenger is failing as a manager and his failure this season seems to be even more apparent, it doesn't require him to acknowledge it to make it any more real.
