The issue over Sanchez and Ozil is irrelevant. With those players and how they are playing with them we are no better than 6th, and when we lose them we will be no worse than 6th. The issue is the money wasted by keeping them for the last year of their contracts which has been a pointless exercise.

I think we are in a tier where we’d have to go some way to be lower than 6th. But we are rock bottom of our tier, having Wenger is like trying to catch up with the other five in a swimming contest with a brick tied to our feet. We will sink to the bottom but our rock bottom is 6th.

And the problem is short of deliberate sabotage it’s pretty much impossible for us to finish lower than that. And that’s why Kroenke won’t get rid, too lazy and the upheaval of change is not what he wants to involve himself in.

Therefore appealing to a powerless board and a doesn’t give a shit owner is futile, the target has to be Wenger. I hated the idea of hounding him out but his dick move in getting a new contract proves he doesn’t deserve any better.
Pretty much agree with that although I wouldn't say we're rock bottom of the 6, with some of them I'd say it's pretty close and over a season there won't be much in it. We might finish above Liverpool, we might finish below but I don't think there will be a huge gap at the end of the season. I don't think we'll sink much lower, with our resources it's quite difficult to, for all our fumbling last year we were still only a couple of points off the top 4.
