    I’ll add to that rather gloomy outlook by saying if nothing else we might actually have a purposeful summer transfer window where the dross is sent packing and decent players are brought in.

    So even if that grizzled old curmudgeon does hobble into a final season he won’t necessarily have the chance to make the squad even worse with his prevaricating.

    We should go for Sven goran Erikssen
    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.

    However a) I don’t think anyone will make Wenger Leave

    b) I think even if there is overt interference from Mislintat and the other fella in Wengers transfer dealings. I don’t think Wenger will walk away. As I’ve said for ages, whatever he wanted out of Arsenal in the past his reasons for staying now are guided by fear of retirement.
    If Wenger gives a fuck about Arsenal as a whole, rather than just his personal and selfish vision of what Arsenal represents, he'll let the new guys get on with the job. Back in the real world, he'll do everything to undermine them. It will take at least a season for these poor bastards to find some way to work around the old goat. I see a scenario where Wenger takes plenty of credit for transfers that start going right, and then dumps the blame elsewhere if he manages to get any of his shit through, like Jonny Evans for example.

    If we see Alexis leave and Evans arrive it will be easy to determine who is winning the war. We're still in a window where it's not too difficult to sort the Wenger targets from sane ones. Whenever the words, "Wenger has monitored the player over several seasons...", we know we're dealing with some prime grade shite.

    Simeone is a completely unrealistic appointment. He doesn't fit in with the ideology of the club one bit.

    He plays defensive football, he is antagonistic, causes fights, is confrontational. His character doesn't fit into the club at all.

    Ivan listed his criteria for an Arsenal manager last season.

    Someone like Ancelotti would fit the bill. He plays attractive attacking football, he can handle the demands of a big club, can work under a budget as seen in the past. He also doesn't kick up a fuss.

    I was referring to Ancelotti

    I don’t particularly like Simeone, his pedigree is beyond dispute but one of the biggest issues I have with Wenger now is how fucking terrible our football is. And although he’s far more effective a coach in terms of results and performances, Atleti are far from easy on the eye.

    Ancelotti is probably the only coach that would have widespread approval from the fanbase.

    I think people would like him as a stop gap whilst we build for the future

    Simeone's style might not be nice to watch but it might be just what this team needs right now. They need to learn how to defend, how to organise themselves and even how to be cunts. I'd take that over being the soft pushovers that Wenger has turned us into. But I doubt we'd get Simeone anyway. If he does decide to manage in England I think it'll be Chelsea or United.

    These rumours about Ancelotti seem to be gathering pace. And with all the other changes going on maybe, just maybe. Could it be true? Could it be over?

    Now we are in a difficult situation. If we won the Europa Cup, could they get rid of Wenger if he wanted to stay? Say he didn't want to bow out with a European win finally under his belt, like any sane person would do. Say he decided to do the conveniently "honourable" thing and see out his contract.

    What if we won the Cuckoo Cup too? Could we get rid of him if we'd won two cups?

    What if we won a cup or two and Wenger stayed and then, somehow, managed to wrangle a new contract? The armageddon scenario.

    What about the Top Four Trophy? Would the triumph of a 4th place finish save his arse?

    Are we, as fans, in the position of wanting to finish outside the top 4 and get knocked out of all cups to double, treble ensure he'll go at the end of this season? And what if we wished for nothing, ended up with nothing and Wenger still, somehow, managed to stay on? The Lucifer scenario.

    Has any club ever been in such a bizarre situation? Where success in the minor competitions might lead to deeper catastrophe in the longer term? Usually a trophy means a club is on the up. A trophy for us this season, including the imaginary 4th Place Cup, might be the trigger for disaster.
