I don't know why anyone believes he'd leave if we won this EL. I don't know why they believe he'll willingly leave at the end of this contract. He's shown no indication whatsoever of wanting to pack it in or any acknowledgement he's doing a bad job. Even up until the last game he was sitting there blaming everyone else, everyone bar himself. And if the board couldn't get rid of him last time around, how are they going to do it this time if he secured CL football and the cash it guarantees? Yes, it's a euro trophy and all, but we're very, very fucked if we we win it. Atleti should take care of that prospect easily enough, but Wenger has a habit of finding ways to save his arse. And, as someone else asked, maybe he's going to argue he's already done enough by reaching the semis. His standards are rockbottom, it's not inconceivable to imagine he's sitting there congratulating himself for this season.

    The important thing is that wenger`s obsolescence has now become trending news. Most major outlets have now cottoned on to what many fans have been saying for over 8 years. The jig may finally be up.

    Jeez - compared to Tony Blair. That's a bit strong. Even I'd baulk at that comparison. Tony Blair is the world's worst war criminal, Wenger has committed atrocities against football but it hasn't killed anyone (a few suicides at worst).

    Makes you wonder what kind of "experts" the journos are though. If it takes them a decade to catch on. Will they all admit they were wrong? Or will they do a Blair and a Wenger?

    I saw this article on FB and other people were saying that. They're missing the point.
    It's not about comparing what Blair and Wenger have done, more the psychological trap that both have fallen into.
    The reason he picks Blair as a comparison is in his "Black Box Thinking" book he goes into the Blair case in quite a lot of detail.
