Where is he coming from with that theory?

Well, you can see on here how this issue splits opinion and if Stan and co sack Wenger, the knives would be out, especially if we have a rocky start. A new manager won't be welcomed with open arms either and it will just be a sour environment around the ground. Wenger has a long standing lagacy here and as seen here people can't accept that he's at fault for certain things. Stan will get all the blame of it goes tits up.

Think of it like The Dark Knight.:Lol: Wenger stands for something with the fans. It's a legacy and that has to be broken for people to accept change. If he goes before his time, people will still believe he could have led us to glory. Well some.

That's the theory anyway. Probably bollocks.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Exactly and it's not so far fetched since we just spent a load this summer. The amount we spent this year constantly he's ignored and Wenger's action at Monaco never gets discussed either.

Because its irrelevant thats why.

How so? His philolsophy has always been about nurturing talent and youth. He's a pig in muck at Arsenal.

Nonsense about his past being irrelevant because as soon as he's ready to step down and a new manager is announced people will be quick to bring up his past and accolades. Maybe in your world it's irrelevant. If Pep and Jose were being lined up to be the next Arsenal manager, how would you asses them and figure out which one suits our club? Far fetched I know, but it's a simple example.

So quick to look past the obvious and blame the board but unwilling to look at the man and his past actions which line up with his word and current actions.

And then again there are those who contrive to blame every problem at the club on Wenger. I think the cries of what a shit substitution, why can't we play Ox, what the fuck are we doing playing Chamakh again at least hints that some of the fanatics who suggest the board should also be examined (bless them) also consider Wenger's actions to be troublesome. Figuring out what environment he's operating in and why he does what he does in terms of the transfer window is hard to do once you've looked past the obvious and unjustifiably exonerated the guys who actually control the money. And if Wenger's record at Monaco is ignored then it's a small oversight compared to the elephant sitting in the middle of the room.

This is why the board will pick the next manager to be wenger esq so their not seen as mugs with no backbone.

What the fuck is he working with that Swansea, Fulham, Stoke, Newcastle, Spurs and every other team haven't got to deal with?

Sick of hearing the excuses. If lower league coaches can drill championship level players into a sold squad that know how to defend on a small budget then why can't Wenger? Of course, the board have their blame in all this but there isn't much they can now. When the shit hit the fan in the summer, we finally spent some money while Wenger was away in Switzerland.

Can't help but agree.

I don't get it - every club has shit to deal with, on and off the pitch, but whatever the problems are, it shouldn't affect the manager being able to instill some basic team fundamentals, which is what we seem to lack and have lacked for many years now.

There seems to be this perception that Wenger is operating in a unique bubble. Of course the board should share the blame for certain issues, but I don't buy the idea Wenger is operating with one arm tied behind his back. In my view, Wenger and the board are one.

No other club would stand for the decline we have seen over the past 6 years. The board should do one for accepting an underperforming manager because he makes them bucks, and Wenger should do one for putting together a team that has a horrible habit of wilting under pressure and causing extreme embarrassment to it's fans, there are no outside influences involved there, none at all.

Arsenal will make an offer for Lille winger Eden Hazard. Extremely reliable source. (via @tomvermeersch ) - twitter.


i will be gutted be hazard went to chelsea. wouldnt mind if it was madrid. apparently there was talk that AW enquired about him this week.

[Mr. Lahey]

The idea that Wenger doesn't care about winning is laughable: See?

i was talking about the board numbnuts
