Regardless of the word, we haven't achieved anything yet and we could just as easily finish 5th as we could win the Title so I really don't think now is the time to start the "I told you so" type conversation.Originally Posted by The Ogg Monster
The rest of your post is based on your own personal assumptions and carries no weight whatsoever, not a single fact or shread of evidence to suggest we would have struggled without him over the past decade.
Atfer 8 years of not winning a thing, it's taken 1 expensive signing and a good start to the season for some to come out and claim he's untouchable and should never been sacked.
There's a long way to go in the season and things can change a lot, an injury or two in the wrong positions and we'll find it much harder, the squad isn't strong enough IMO and it should be as we had enough time to recruit in the summer.
He needs to deliver this season and he needs to strenghten in January to have any chance IMO, otherwise we should wave goodbye to him next summer, my opinion hasn't changed on that.
Replacing him will be hard, simply because he's been here so long and everything is built around him (a bit like it was at Man U), but we have to do it at some point and if he's not delivering success it's as good at time as any.
We have to look at why he hasn't delivered the success after the early glory years. Do any of us really know if he had a decent transfer budget every year in spite of stadium repayments. If so we can blame him & not the board for the lack of quality signings to allow us to compete. If someone came out & said it was imperative that AW could only spend whatever he sold due to stadium debt then we can all agree that he's done a wonderful job to keep us in the top 4 & have continued C.L football. I would be happy to give him time to see what could be achieved if he was willing to buy world class players & agree that he's changed his ways but the single signing of Ozil isn't enough to suggest that has happened yet.
I simply believe that he is a man of principal & stuck in his philosophy of turning good young prospects into great players rather than buying the finished article. His problem is that when you don't have successful teams these great players fuck off. On top of that we have had silly money spent at Chavski & Man Shity to fast track their success & left us stuck with a philosophy that simply cannot work in the new mega bucks era for football.
The Jan window will be key for AW, he can change a lot of the negativity if he acts quickly to bring in at least one quality defender & striker. It will continue the feel good factor in the squad that we are becoming the team everyone is talking about & it will mean all players will be having to produce on a weekly basis to keep their place. If however he thinks the signing of Ozil is enough money spent & we have quality throughout the rest of the team to compete then he needs to go as quickly as possible.
Arse and Nose.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose.
Looks really angry in that second to last picture.
I'd always viewed DM as AWs replacement down the road. I think DMs problems as inherited in the squad left by AF and feel his problems stem from not getting 3 BIG signings in the summer.
It could be worse. We could have David f***ing Moyes!
It's fair to say i viewed a lot of people (especially recently as AW isn't getting any younger) as potential replacements for him....but Moyes was not one of them.
Whilst Wenger has us playing the kind of football and producing the kind of performances that we did last night, i am more than happy with him at the club. The trick for him now is to convert that into something tangible (i.e silverware).
The lack of signings in the summer and Rooney situation disrupted the summer. But Moyes isn't the right man for us. His philosophy on football is totally different to what we do here. He was left the Champion. Hard to say he inherited a bad team. Imagine where we'd be if he'd take over Arsenal in that case.
