2 league titles, 1 fa cup, 2 community shields and 1 CL final in the last 5 years.
10 bad weeks doesn't change anything.
Get him in.

The Bundesliga table suggests otherwise, would you still want him if he gets Dortmund relegated?Originally Posted by She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
I'm a fan of Klopp but it's hard to ignore how badly they've done this season. You could give them the benefit of the doubt if they were still at least competing for CL places but to be bottom of the league with that squad is one hell of a screw up.
Some would have you believe that coming 2nd in a CL group to a team playing as badly as Dortmund isn't too bad as we shouldn't expect to be above them.
Dortmunds Bundesliga form is exactly why I am NOT satisfied that barring a extraordinary result between Anderlecht and Dortmund we will not finish above them in the group.
Klopp is very similar to Wenger in both strengths and weaknesses, he is a fantastic spotter and nurturer of talent as Wenger was in his prime. But his Dortmund side seem to be tactically naive much like ours is, and whilst they are good at pressing up the pitch they aren't so disciplined when not in Possession.
It's not to pour scorn on Klopp he has achieved fantastic things as a manager, and is young enough to adapt his approach and do so again. But the similarities between him and Wenger are too striking, and it seems we'd be swapping like for like
If we're judging it on bad performances wenger should have been gone years ago.
The difference between klopp and wenger is klopp will address the issues in January and make the team kick on. Wenger will sit on his arse and wonder why we don't.
Reports in the Times that we're looking to sell Podolski and Campbell in Jan.
If we're not going to use them (at all) except in the last 5mins or so, may as well get some new people in.
If we sell them, it doesn't mean we'll get anyone in, even id we did there's no guarantee they wouldn't be some cheap nobody stop gap type which Wenger loves.
Shocking that we'd consider selling Campbell IMO.
In hindsight Wenger should have gone years ago, but the issue is who should replace him not whether we want him here
Klopp replaced Lewandowski in the summer, not really worked out for him so far
I just find it funny that the people who are the most vociferously Anti-Wenger are the ones who want to bring in a younger version of him.
Me personally, at the start of the season I could begrudgingly accept Wenger being here till 2017 now it's just a prospect I don't think I can stomach. But I'd want the board to do its job and make a thorough analysis of want kind of club they want Arsenal to be post L'Ouisseau and who is best suited to presiding over it
