If he is staying, I cannot wait to read the statement. Just to see how he can possibly justify himself, when he's completely failed to build a competitive team after so many years of trying. The sort of time most managers these days would die for.Originally Posted by selassie
We're in trouble next season if he's still here.
Honestly don't know what he's getting out of this any more. If he goes at the end of the season then while it will have been his worst season with us I still think in time most people will come to recognise what he did for us.
From what I understand Ali stayed in boxing too long and ended up taking some beatings at the end but people still appreciate what he did in his pomp.
If he stays another year though...I don't see how anyone wins out of that.
We got lucky last year with everyone else being so shit. It's troubling that he can't recognise that.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Because he's Afraid of giving up the autonomy and work load he has at Arsenal which totally occupies his entire life
The fan reaction is less important than that, because he believes he can get most back on side and the rest are just malcontents.
And actually, if we win the league next year then he would get people back on side and maybe that's what he's hoping, like some desperate gambler staying at the table thinking he'll cover his losses in the next hand.
Trouble is, we won't and things will just get nastier.
That was the window of opportunity we waited the best part of a decade for, yet we couldn't even get close.
Everyone knows he can't deliver anymore and deep down he probably knows it too, him staying would be a purely selfish move to ensure he can maintain a cushty set up.
Going somewhere else where he has no credit is far too much work for him to undertake at this stage of his career and life.
Forget about double or nothing, he's been tripling every year and losing each time.
He lives in a bubble....he probably has people like Keswick and Kroenke telling him "Arsene you're the only one who can keep this club going" he genuinely believes he is Atlas.
Because he works hard and does everything in a football sense, he feels under appreciated by the fans and the media....
Even if a Dein put his hand on his shoulder and said "Arsene it's not worth it anymore!" he wouldn't listen to them.
Thing is...he must have friends. I know he's still close to David Dein. Surely someone can get through to him and gently suggest that he's not doing himself or anyone else any good.
It's all quite sad, or could be if he stays.
That old poster Ashburton 2006 gently suggested years ago that Wenger was shit and needed to go, but he became an outcast
