Will Arsene leave at the end of his current contract

[Niall_Quinn]

I think Gazidis has helped put him at ease with the spending.

Arsene - just relax and tell me - where did the nasty agent touch you?

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.

I agree with that. That's the slow reactions I'm talking about. He needs to cut it out.

P n G, you used the word "dominate" i don't know in what context you use that word but i don't think it will possible under any circumstance for us to dominate beyond the confines of a single season regardless of what players or manager we have, I think the competition is just too vast. Since 2009 no team has retained the title, and although Chelsea may do it next season I think in future that will be an outlier rather than a trend.
At the moment the title is being passed about between the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea, all I ask is that we make ourselves the fourth team in the equation.
Don't get me wrong, it certainly should be an aim to "Dominate" but don't know how realistic a possibility that is.

But now on to the real business of competition at the top of the top flight. When are we winning the title and the CL?

In fact, when are we going to seriously challenge for the PL and the CL?

Do you really think waving the FA Cup around invalidates that question? Or makes anyone asking it a man-toddler fan?

I think those are reasonable questions and should be aims for a club of our stature.
But...oh, you know what I'm talking about. You see the hyperbole on here about how terrible things are.
A couple of years ago when we'd not won a trophy on so long patience was understandably wearing thin, but the new financial deals have enabled us to start buying a different level of players and it has yielded results. Not the biggest prizes yet, but we're heading in the right direction.
I'll be disappointed if we don't seriously challenge this year - I was a bit disappointed we didn't last year but the last two thirds of the season and the Cup win, especially as we had to go to Old Trafford en route - placated me somewhat.
It's debatable whether Wenger can push us on further but 2 trophies in 2 years should surely buy him some time to try.

Hopefully not but I have a feeling he’ll stick around.

We just need a change, really badly, an injection of new ideas is never a bad thing and that has led us to where we are now, stagnant and merely plodding along, accepting the FA Cup as the height of our ambition.

If he miraculously won the title, then he should leave on that note and allow someone else to build on that because invariably, he wouldn't.

Let's face it, the guy isn't going to leave for years, he'll get as many contracts as he wants the club make it pretty clear he can stay as long as he wants.

The club are happy with what he's doing and have always been and don't really care what the fans think or about being a top club in the real sense, the manager isn't overly concerned about the fans' opinions either.

There's no real pressure on him in that sense as he knows the only way he'll be leaving this club is if he chooses to, he also know that challenging for major trophies isn't a criteria he has to abide by to keep the board and owners happy.

IMO we have at least another 5 years of him in charge, which probably means challenging for 3rd/4th every year is our main target for the foreseeable future.

True but if true about not being able to dominate regardless of manager or player, what chance to do we have under Wenger?

I think we’re about to see Chelsea dominate the league. If Jose’s serious about a long term legacy it’s going to be a rough ride.

Can someone please buy this man a horse?, anyone!

To be fair my comment had nothing to do with Wenger, it's based on my belief that I don't think one team will dominate....City and United will spend too much money to allow Chelsea to dominate. They may retain the title this season, but I don't see them winning it three times in a row.

He will be here till he is healthy parading 4th place trophy, QF CL trophy and a possible CC/FA Cup trophy.
