    Wenger will be here until he is 70.

    He is THE boss, he does not have a boss.

    His principles will hold us back for a few more years yet.

    He does what he wants when he wants.

    We cannot win the league or the CL with him in charge.

    The fuck all cup is nice but nowhere near the PL or the CL.

    I recall discussion about the trophies worth a few times on here. I think when Wenger rested Arshavin when we played Utd there was a shit storm. I can’t recall everyone’s position but I do remember a few posters playing down the cups importance in the modern game and justifying Wenger’s decision not to take it so seriously. It also goes back to the whole ‘4th place is a trophy’ comment and how domestic cups had lost their value.

Most of our rivals around Europe have this same attitude and we need to start thinking in that same way. If Wenger stays on he has to adapt. The Board need to put more pressure on him. He deserves job security but he also needs to know that we’re aiming higher and he must adapt with the times. If they don’t put pressure on him our only hope is that Mourinho indirectly helps us again with his constant goading. The ‘specialist in failure’ comments must have irked Wenger and spurred him to make Jose eat his words and I hope the rivalry continues. Wenger’s competitive spirit started to die when he and Fergie became bosom buddies.
    Agree with this but we all know that Wenger is unable or unwilling to adapt. This has been proven year after year. His way is good enough to get us top 4 & ofcourse a shout at the FA cup but not good enough to win the top honours.
    I don't have to argue with the likes of Letters about this - the last decade proves all. Even now with supposed financial restraints lifted we are the laziest in the transfer market whilst all around us teams buy quality to improve.
    All he can do is spend his time slagging off the other teams for their spending whilst sitting on his cheque book. Wake up Wenger & join the new football world. Unless you spend real money on real quality, you won't compete.

    He's spent more than anyone bar Utd and City (and City weren't far ahead of us) in the last 2 years, since the new financial details were in place.

    I really don't understand this idea that Wenger is under no pressure and it literally doesn't matter how we do. Of course it does.
    Had we slipped out of the top 4 (as the 'experts' on here have predicted year on year we would) then he'd have been long gone.

    As to the original question, it is probably up to him. If he continues to deliver what the board expects (which I think he will) and thinks he can still do a job for us then he'll stay.
    He's a far safer pair of hands than some of the laughable suggested replacements.
    The only pressure Wenger's under is from himself. When he gets beaten & its obvious to all why we got beat - he reacts with all his usual crap instead of addressing the obvious. Why - because it would prove he was wrong in the 1st place, he can't handle that - that's the only pressure for him, the constant battle to prove his way is the best way.
    We've seen how he crumbles when he's actually under real pressure. The 8-2 defeat by Utd, what did he do immediatley after - buy 3 players, 3 weeks into the season!. When he went to the directors to ask for the money, they should have told him to fuck off. He had all summer to address the squad problems & he did sweet FA, telling everyone his squad was good enough. He got it wrong, terribly wrong & he knew it. Problem is, he didn't learn from that.
    Few years later, after another terrible transfer window, not improving the squad we lose our 1st home game to Villa. Finally, the fans let him know their feelings - what does he do, he buys Ozil. Again proving to all, that his squad was obviously NOT strong enough, as he had suggested & he had got it wrong again.
    Here we are again, even you must see the need for another quality DM plus the blatantly obvious need for a proper goal-scorer. Lets see what happens if he loses at home to West Ham.

    Basically on 2 players whilst not addressing the real problem areas on the pitch. Anyone with £50 mill to spend can buy the odd crowd pleaser but he continually fails in buying the right players to strengthen the starting 11.

    Simple but so true to all but Wengers disciples. Any man, in any job that does what he wants, when he wants is under no pressure & thinks of himself as bullet-proof. Its a bit like me at work to be honest.
