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.
The only two clubs who will finish above us are the billionaire cheats. I can live with that, although we should be closer.
Interesting. The board certainly can. It certainly doesn't keep them up at night.
I think Wenger is more bothered about it than some on here think.
Whether he has the ability to do anything about it is a different matter.
I agree with letters when he says finding a better manager is the real issue. Wenger, imo, has lost that magic that got him titles and world class teams and he definitely is yesterday's man but right now, who out there is genuinely better and available? Not many. When real Madrid can't find someone them you know the choices are few. Klopp is the standout choice but word is that is wants to take a break, plus citeh and real are on his case as well so we stand no chance
Shite game but an important point none the less. Barring 2 embarrassing results that should be automatic CL qualification sorted.
Roll on the cup final.
Any new manager coming in would know that 4th place in not an improvement for us. To put their own stamp on things they would HAVE to deliver better. Wenger doesn't see this, he can't possibly want to win a title going into a season relying on players like Merts, Arteta, Sir Ches & Giroud. Spine of the team simply not good enough.
I would have no problems with Clement coming in from Madrid with Henry joining him as right hand man. Clement has better experience of modern European football than Wenger ever had when he joined us. Why do we keep on about big name replacements, most of which are not far off Wenger age & old mentality. Football has changed & we need a modern approach to whoever manages next.
I'm sure Wenger is bothered by it, but you can't change human nature and if the board put no pressure on him to acheive he will feel more comfortable reverting to type and resting on his laurels rather than challenging himself to adapt to see if he does have the ability.
It's easy for many of us to say but a lot of the flaws in the side seem very elementary and don't require revolutionary thinking to overcome, with financial fair play it could be that the only club that can outspend us now is Manchester United....and like I say I don't believe Wenger is any worse than Van Gaal or Pellegrini....but we know he's not under the same pressure to perform from a complacent, greedy board who care nothing about the supporters.
Old men are stubborn and less adaptable to new ideas, Wenger was a revolutionary once but he's now a dinosaur. You can't really expect innovative ideas from a man of Wengers age. Ferguson was as much of a curmudgeon but he had the good sense to know when to delegate.
