Le grove has an interesting theory.
Kroenke and Wenger are very tight so Kroenke can't sack Wenger. By bringing his son over and giving him a senior role at the club, Josh can be the one to let Wenger go.
I agree with what Carragher said, announce his departure for the end of the season and the remaining 2 months can be played out without this ridiculous poison that’s being drip fed into the club every week.
Wenger says last night was not all negative, there were positives
We didn’t play badly but it was still a pretty limp dick effort, we barely laid a glove on them, few pot shots at goal constitutes positives for us? It’s incredible how low standards have been allowed to drop and there is a section of the fanbase responsible for facilitating that.

Weird theory
I can’t let you go but my son can?
Don’t get me wrong I think Kroenke jnr might be the one to pull the trigger but I think that’s because Stan has his hands full with the Rams and other real estate investment rather than sentimentality....of which he has none.
It happened at a previous company I worked at. The commercial director was bum chums with the MD. The commercial director was underperforming but the MD couldn't let him go. He made the commercial director report into someone else and that guy gave him his P45 eventually

Still not convinced Kroenke is the sentimental type though.
Pretty hard nosed character from what I’ve read about him from the perspective of the other side of the pond
Of course he’s praised Wenger to the hilt, he’s been from his perspective up till now a model employee
Put it this way I don’t think they are close mates on the phone to each other all the time. They probably see each other twice a year if that. Kroenke has been able to be totally hands off with Arsenal and now it’s starting to go belly up big time, “boy why don’t you go over there and see how everything works, don’t forget to take the bottle of scotch and the loaded revolver with you”

Details of a team meeting (players only) following our cup final defeat:
he speech was delivered by one of the senior players in the Arsenal dressing room but he did not finish it. He was too choked up as he reflected on how such a talented squad had come to resemble a bunch of drifters. He said his children were asking him why Arsenal were so bad. That was the moment when the tears welled in his eyes.
Another Arsenal player stepped in. “We are a big club,” he said, tapping into the rallying cry theme. “But we need more help from the coaches.” That was when the damning judgment was articulated. It had actually been the motivation for the players to gather in the first place – without Arsène Wenger. “It’s not going to happen,” one of them said. “We need to find the answers ourselves.”
It was Tuesday of this week – the day of the first training session after Sunday’s Carabao Cup final humbling against Manchester City. The meeting of the players at London Colney was not aggressive in its tone, even if there were frank exchanges. It was more plaintive; coloured by soul-searching and a certain helplessness. It shone a glaring light on why Wenger’s time as the manager is up.
It is too easy in times of crisis to say the lavishly rewarded modern footballer does not care. The Arsenal squad do care; they beat themselves up over how they have slipped from Champions League to Europa League level. It embarrasses them that the fans have been so unhappy with so many of their performances. This is their livelihood. They have professional pride.
