    But not during the season and not on Arsenal games. There is a difference.

    Of course there is. You can accuse Wenger of a lot of things but his dedication to his work is obvious. He's well within his rights to expect his coaches to take their work seriously. Not as a time-filler when there isn't a game to cover.
    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.

    My first thought when I heard about Henry taking up a role at the club was one of surprise because of his Sky role so I am not really surprised things have transpired the way they have.

    Henry never struck me as someone that that lacked dedication in his playing career.

    In regards to coaching, this is what Jonker said about him.

    “Thierry’s own wish is to be at Arsenal five, six, seven days a week. It’s his own ambition to invest in his own future as a coach. What I am recognising is a guy who had a brilliant career as a player that is able to transfer his knowledge and experience to the boys. And the most important thing is he is willing to do it.”
    Something else must be going on here. Can't be Thierry's dedication and focus. Training sessions are in the morning. Punditry work shouldn't take up loads of hours either.

    The only way Wenger will ever leave this club is on his death bed. With the wealth he has, that will be probably another 40-50 years.
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    He doesnt even turn manager during Arsenal games. He might as well become a pundit!

    He would have worked for free, says it all really. Not that he needs the money anyway but it's obvious his heart is with Arsenal and wanted to help.

    I doubt punditry once or twice a week is going to impede his ability to coach. Wenger is of course within his rights to do what he wants with his staff but he does himself no favours really. Hopefully this is his last season.

    Sounded like Henry was very popular at the club. Hardly surprising. So obviously that won't have gone down well with the control freak we have in charge. Thou shall worship one God and one God alone. Don't forget, he's been sent to make mankind better. Although modesty only allows him to suggest this is the case, rather than confirming it.

    Perhaps the only way we'll get rid of this arsehole is if everyone from the tea lady through the players and the fans leave the club and set up a new one. Then the old goat can do whatever he wants without bollocksing it up for everyone.

    He wasn't going to work for free. What he wanted to do was distribute his pay among the other coaches. I guess he wanted to help out the guys earning one lump of coal a week and two at Christmas.

    It won't be his last season. The old money farts love him. He's going nowhere.

    This is true. He puts an extraordinary amount of effort into achieving the results he has achieved. Which is very, very sad - considering.
