Arsène Wenger

[PPB]

Tbf it would be wrong if he said anything else. The club lacks confidence just as much as proper training right now, so him giving a clear answer isn’t much of a surprise.

I don’t think he’d have a super long shelf life, but 3 years or so might be enough to win a lot of shit with that squad over there.

And ultimately he’d still only be measured by how many Champions League trophies he wins. I wouldn’t be confident he could provide those.

home a trophy to a club who had no business doing so.

Fuck off.

[Aussiegooner]

Yeah wouldn’t happen, look at his CL record at us from 98-2004.

Lol! Just saying! Relax mate

[GeorgieGraham89]

I can’t see Wenger leaving this summer or sooner .
I’m afraid we are stuck with him . He is so far up his own arse he cannot see the decline we are in .
It wouldn’t surprise me if he signed a years extension. No surprise what so ever .

[Calum]

There’s still a top manager in there

Lol

Wenger will turn Neymar into Walcott and Cavani into Sanogo.

That’s a bit too harsh now. Up until not long ago Wenger used to get the most out of players. Remember Hleb? Went to Barca and became shit. Same story with Alex Song, same with many other players. Up until not long ago he had the best eye for young talented players (and best scouts) in the business. Times have changed, partly due to the huge influx of money into the game.

I for one quite dislike this whole “Wenger out” charade. The man deserves way more respect than he’s being shown right now. The reality is that his authority has been undermined (from inside? who knows) and the players are affected by the whole uncertainty surrounding the situation. And the streak of loses doesn’t do their confidence any good. But it could have happened to any manager.

That doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t like to see some new blood, a more energetic type driving a new Arsenal (he’s gotten a bit old, hasn’t he), but the reality is that you can’t easily find that today. If Arsenal replace Wenger, we’ll most likely be replacing mercenary-managers every season, and get the wage structure out of control. Wenger cared a lot about the long-term stability of the club, and no new manager that cares about his personal glory (i.e. quick success) will care about that.

Wenger Out!!!

Imagine the moronic Arsenal fans saying “see see that could have been us!” And all of the other false equivalency bullshit.

[InvincibleDB10]

According to The Times; Wenger believes he’s the right man for the job and has told his coaching staff he will not be leaving this summer.
Wenger’s arrogance and stubbornness wrapped up in one sentence.

Wenger is the only manager in Europe who actually thinks it’s up to him when he will leave a club, even when it’s obvious to everyone else he should go.

Winning the EL is probably easier than winning last seasons FA Cup. Obviously our form, morale and attitude are all piss poor but if they could put it all together

@arsenescoatmaker

We played two non league clubs is last seasons FA cup.

[arsenescoatmaker]

Yea the depth is harder but City and Chelsea are harder games than any in the EL

[Aussiegooner]

Nah Atletico are superior to last seasons city, Don’t confuse them to this year’s City.

[BigWeng_4LYFE]

Why?

[Luca_from_Italy]

He thinks like a dictator. “I am bigger than the club”.

[shamrockgooner]

That wasn’t a literal instruction. I was just strongly disagreeing with you.

[morrisc311]

The correct response was “Will do!”

You are an expert in failure!

[BigWeng_4LYFE]

I know my question was why are you diaagreeing so strongly? We weren’t favored and everyone to a man on this forum said we were going to get destroyed in the semi and then final.

[SDGooner]

Wenger might get a (very) high profile job if he gets sacked and if he does all the best. But at Arsenal it’s going nowhere. Which is evident for several years now. There is no reason whatsoever to continue with Wenger for the remainder of his contract let alone this year.

[SDGooner]

I would rather say it’s the other way around. The FA Cup (domestic cups in general) might have been a bit of a sweetener, but in no way (should it be) an important/deciding factor.
