Precisely we're stuck with this LeClown for the foreseeable future (could be 5 years the way he talks), just when you think he could never do this, or has to do that he does the complete opposite so it wouldn't surprise me if he handed himself a new 3 year contract and followed that up again once that runs out too.
I think he's here for another 3 years as well. I can't see how this can possibly be his last season unless he has told the Board already that he won't sign a new deal or they have already decided not to offer a new contract. There is no way he gets to the end of the season and then he decides to walk away without a successor already lined up.....but you never know with this club.![]()
Yep. That's the conflict and where people start saying they hope certain players get injured just so he's forced to make a signing or select the right player, people hope we drop out of the top 4 just so the board put pressure on him or hope things get so bad at the stadium people walk out or just cause pandemonium. It's not healthy and it shouldn't have to get to that stage. Why has it come to this under Arsene Wenger of all people? It's going beyond the results and team. People are starting to despise everything the club stands for. I know I'm at that point and had to really question what the heck I was swallowing when they started spouting this self sustaining model rubbish.
I'm pretty immune to that type of thinking, I don't want us to finish lower than 4th because whenever Wenger goes, I think a club that has sullied its reputation the way we have is going to find it difficult enough getting in a competent replacement and will be even harder without champions league football
And if I want a player to get injured it's usually because hes shit, whilst I wasn't glad that Ramsey was injured yesterday it would be wrong to think I was in some way sad about it.
I disagree. It's not about Champions League football. It's more so about ambition and infrastructure. What are you working towards and will you support the managers ambition. Klopp, Mourinho and Conte won' be in the Champions League this year. That didn't stop them from going there. They didn't apply for jobs with Spurs and Leicester just because they qualified.
The biggest thing this club has going for it is that we support our manager. We're not trigger happy and have allowed Wenger to get on with things uninterrupted. That has to be a huge draw for any manager. Plus our record is so shit a new manager comes in with a chance to propel this club to a new level.
What's holding us back is the lack of spending. The appearance of lacking ambition. If that reputation stays with us people potential managers get a whiff of that when they visit the Emirates, we're screwed even if we have Champions League football.
I think the fans attitudes are changing as each season passes, I think two years ago people were prepared to give Wenger the benefit of time now that he had definite money to spend and he did manage to retain good will by spending money during the summer of 2014, as well as showing signs of progression later on that season culminating in the FA cup.
Where as the Wenger out group was a large minority, it's now a silent majority (by that I mean the majority of fans want him gone but aren't all quite as vocal about it) because Wenger has used up all the good will he earnt, the total collapse in the league was one thing but blaming insipid home performances on fans, and on top of that sitting on his hands in three out of the last four seasons which has led to us losing the opening game in three out of the last four seasons.
And he's fat.
