Wenger Referendum IV

[AFC Leveller]

Wenger is shameful for not walking away, he has a massive opportunity to walk now with his head held high and a trophy to boot. Instead, he cant help himself, he craves the total control and power he has and he is staying despite the majority of the fans wanting him gone. He said himself that he cant understand why fans have been disrespectful to him and that the players were playing in a difficult environment seemingly forgetting that its him that caused all the negative vibes and in fighting.

Going to the owner directly speaks volumes about him, he is a selfish old goat who doesnt care about anyone else except himself.

Just say he's a selfish old cunt. Take the gloves off.

There's a civil war because only extremes of opinions are allowed. It has become so polarizing. And you can blame Wenger for that if you want but he's not telling us to fight amongst ourselves.
I wish he'd gone on a relative high. As we all suspected, he hasn't. The only options now really are to get behind the team (if not Wenger) next season or just tune out from it all.

There's the other option you haven't mentioned. Making Wenger's life a living hell at every match until even he decides to fuck off. Like normal fans would do at any other club, for example.

Only reason I'll probably tune out is because the football, and particularly Wenger's horrendous tippy tap ball, bores me to tears. If the football was still okay that would at least be something. The vast majority of fans have always stood behind the team. The idea they haven't is another myth used by Wenger to deflect from the reality.

He totally is responsible for it, the guy has shown the fan base utter contempt in the way he went about getting a contract extension for himself.

The longer he goes on, what then becomes extreme about wanting him to be sacked? Not just hoping he goes but wanting him to be sacked.

I personally think staying away would be more effective than making Wenger Our banners and paying a lot of money to wave them in the ground.
For one thing it's a bit more dignified and it hurts board in the only area they have any feeling, the pocket. While Wenger continues to be a cash cow then have no reason to want to unseat him.

This decison was about what's best for Arsene Wenger and Stan Kroenke, not Arsenal football club. It really is shameful stuff.

The worst bit for me is that when next season turns really ugly, which inevitably it will, our club will become a laughing stock to other fans. He thinks what's happened in the ground this season has been a disgrace, but that's just the beginning.

I'll be one of the ones switching off though.

Staying away plays right into their hands. They have plenty of tourist fans lined up, I'm sure. The type of fan they'd prefer anyway. Fans with zero expectation beyond having a nice day out at a major London venue. Selfies and Snapchat all the way. Look at me ma! The 4th Place Crew.

If fans really want to hurt Kroenke and his little empire then target the sponsors. Under no circumstances whatsoever buy anything from any organisation associated with Arsenal. Until Wenger leaves. And turn up to the ground, fuck the banners and start vocally expressing dissent in terms that will make Sky TV turn down the microphones and apologise profusely. Make it so they don't dare televise a game.

Difficult to achieve, given the number of plastics that have infected the fan base. One thing you don't want to do though is invite more plastics in the door.

As I said, if the football was in any way watchable it might be worth it. But it seems these bastards have thought of everything.

Tbh both solutions require more coordinated effort than is realistic.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes, I think it is probably best not to try at all and just accept things as they have been handed down. The masters know what's best and they have our best interests at heart. If you don't try, you can't fail.

For me though, Cambridge Town is down the road. I might give it a season with those pubbers to try to reconnect to football at a less corrupt level. Arsenal I'm not interested in as of today. It was getting that way for a long time anyway. Wenger's personal fiefdom is not something that appeals and the thought of two more years of this (at least, and I bet it will be longer) holds zero appeal. If I was still going to the games though, I wouldn't be sitting on my hands. People will have t make their own decisions, but for those who intend to stay on it serves them in no way whatsoever to be passive about this.
