Wenger Out ?

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

That's about the size of it.

Although I would also say finishing 4th and winning the FA cup was a successful season but finishing any lower than that is rather split.

Finishing 4th would mean another summer of waiting until the end to sign players and rushing about to complete deals due to the qualifier.

No thanks.

Hasn't been too bad this year.

We can certainly build on these foundations.

Pissed off we didn't get a striker in January, but then again, it's pointless wasting 20mil + on someone who isn't what you really wanted.

Seems obvious we went all out for Suarez, and got fucked over, but that's footy for you, and I don't blame Wenger for holding onto the cash if he couldn't get the man he wanted.

I've come to the conclusion that the same frustrations will always prevelent with AW, as he's a stubborn old cunt. But he's our stubborn old cunt, and I still think he's one of the best managers out there, and until someone can come up with a better choice of coach, who isn't reliant on mega money to put himself on "the best" list, we'd be stupid to get rid.

Well all those years ago we were told that summer 2014 would be the time we would start competing again. We're pretty close to that now. The Ozil signing made sure we cemented top 4 and to the club's surprise, we began competing a year sooner than planned. Maybe that explains Wenger's stubbornness and lack of transfer activity in the January window? Doesn't want to splash and pay over the odds when he knows he has a mammoth transfer pot in the summer? Who knows.

And if he decides to leave then he's leaving us in a pretty good place. Mertesacker, Rosicky and judging from reports today, Ramsey too, have all penned new deals. We have a solid defensive unit, an abundance of quality midfielders. We have a great stadium + training facilities. Wenger said a few years ago that when he would leave Arsenal he would leave it in a brilliant position for the new manager.

If he leaves, I think it's fair to say he's done that. He has left his legacy.

What's the odds on Wenger fielding a very weak team for the FA Cup but full strength in the Champions League? Was just reading Le Grove and he suggested this is what Wenger might do when looking into his recent press comments.

I'd be very surprised if we play a side much different to what we have seen in the FA Cup already, against Premier League teams.

Yeah I agree with that. He's left the squad in a pretty healthy state, it needs investment, but not major investment, certain areas of the squad are in pretty good shape.

I personally want Arsene to step down now, I don't believe he has it in him to move us up a gear. I believe he's too "wedded" in his principles and not flexible enough or pragmatic enough to move us forward.

We need someone progressive, someone who is willing to take a chance and invest in the squad in the right areas, somebody who has new and inventive ideas.

Thanks Arsene, but your time is done, let someone else have a crack.

Edited to add: I think the club and to a lesser degree Arsene have been selling us the dream/future for far too long. I accept that we may have had financial restrictions placed on us post stadium move and accept we are competiting with a couple of clubs with unlimited budgets, but I won't accept the flawed player recruitment policy our club operates. IMO, Wenger doesn't want to pay over the odds period, he has his valuations and that's that. If anything this summers transfer market will be more difficult than any of the recent years as it's World Cup year, Prices inflate etc.

with wenger delaying the signing of his contract later than ever, not winning anything could mean he calls it a day with a fantastic set-up for the next man to build on.

klopp could be a realistic option this summer. he might be at the realisation that he's done all he can with dortmund who now stand no chance against Bayern in the league and will always lose their best players to them. CL success only comes round once in a while. he's done wonders at that club on a small budget, it's a similar type of league, he's young and hungry, can develop players, attract stars and plays great football. none of the other teams in the prem would want him as they're all set with managers. he signed a new contract last year until 2018 but we all know they can be broken quite easily.

Seeing Man Utd falter is also good for us because Gazidis will not pick someone incompetent for the job. He'll go for a big name knowing there's too much at stake.

And having a manager that is tactically naive can also be seen as a bonus. When the new manager comes in he can instantly improve us tactically which will hopefully get 10-15% more out of the players and the system. Perhaps we won't play the same bloody formation every stadium we go to.

I wanted Wenger gone at the beginning of the season but I just don't know anymore. We started off so well and if we tweak one or two things, there's no reason why we can't challenge next season with this lunatic in charge. Changing managers could work out well or it could be a disaster. Sometimes you find that when you give up, you do it a time when you were just about to succeed.

This season has been such a head fuck and I seriously don't know whether I want him to stay or go.

Yes why go all out to win the league title this season when we are so close,when we can have a real go next year.Yawn.

[AFC Leveller]

We've played our best (or near enough) 11 in the cup this season so i dont think he'll send out some rookies now that we're a couple of games away from the final.

Im confident i have to say, i think Everton will be a tough team but being at home will be a factor, as well as the added confidence of beating Liverpool and Spuds.
