New manager

Where are you getting those numbers from? It could be cash reserve, that are a whole nother thing in properly run business like Arsenal is.

Give them 5 or 7 years and see how their consistency will be . You might chance your mind .

The same logic applies to Moyes if people want to use him as an example of what might go wrong if we change manager.

I would have loved to see those people have their 1000th game before I compare them to Wenger . Real Madrid , Arguably the biggest team in the world , have always wanted to sign Wenger while all those people are around and have never been mentioned . Wenger is far better than all these clowns .

Clowns? You want to look at the records of some of those managers before labelling then clowns, Van Gaal built one of the best Ajax sides ever and won the CL with a team that played total football, he's also got countless titles under his belt, Hiddink has got huge experience at International level where he has delivered teams who get to the latter stages of the biggest competitions (as well as winning titles domestically).

Simeone is doing a fantastic job at Athletico and seems to be an up and coming manager, Bergkamp is an unknwon but a clown he certainly isn't (ok his fear of flying might be a problem however).

with the accounts revealing the club boasts a huge 120.6 million-pound cash reserve.

Not saying that it should all be spent. But we could have easily pushed on in Jan.

No thanks to Laudrup, yes he did OK at Swansea before it went pearshaped, but his overall managerial record doesn't make pleasant reading.

At least , Wenger's first season at Arsenal was not disastrous as Moyes's at United .

That's pretty obvious. Moyes is an extreme example. United might as well have given the job to a nobody like Allardyce. It was that bad of a choice.

I don't think people should be pointing to Moyes as a reason why we shouldn't change manager. Wenger might throw in the towel after this season anyway.

Cash reserve is not transfer funds :s Lets forget about the winter transfer window tho', we all know we were never going to bring anyone proper in, good players go for 50%+ extra and almost no clubs are willing to pay that, even City refused to pay it for their targets... Utd ended up paying almost 40m for a 15-20m player, so you guys really need to stop with the winter transfer window bottling thing, Wenger or anyone else we bring in (except for Moyes) are never going to do that.

It is fear of the unknown.

I think we can attract a top quality manager now (not Van Gal for the love of god), precisely because of what Wenger has done for the Club in terms of maintaining a steady ship through the financial pain of the stadium.

We are in great shape for a new guy - CL football, a crapload of money and no recent legacy to speak of.

This is an ideal time to bring a new guy in.

Yep, I think Wenger has to go now, even if we win the FA Cup.

You cant be looking at the stats, but more what he was expected to do at those clubs. He has always exceeded what was expected at those (troubled) clubs and he did it playing beautiful football, even when playing the big clubs.
