    He doesn't seem to be under any great pressure to be fair, he's constantly getting praised by all of them and there's always talk of a new contract.

    As mentioned though, their definition of success is monetary.

    Mine isn't silverware. Not just silverware anyway, that's far too simplistic.
    And, like it or not, the balance sheet cannot be ignored unless you're a Chelsea or a City who can do what they like and just keep spending till they blunder their way to success. Any other club doing that would have long since gone bankrupt.

    Noone said it should be ignored, people are probably annoyed that this seems to be the only real goal for the club. Qualification for the Cl gets sold as a trophy because it basically is a money pot, it's not a trophy and all it's done is undermine the real trophies. CL is about money nothing else and the club must be thrilled that they can keep the fans happy by picking up 4th every season and swelling the bank balance at the same time, I don't see the appeal of playing Europe's biggest clubs if there's never any unpredictability in the end result for us (as a big club).

    As for the silverware, after spending almost 9 years building a team at a top club, it's not really unreasonable to have something to show for it other than a healthy balance sheet.

    Good to see Wenger's fed up of Giroud
