Genuine question.
Do you think The Board has it in them to sack our most successful manager who is hitting all of their targets year in year out, or do you believe Wenger will be the one who decides when he wants to walk? [poll type=multiple min=1 max=2 public=true]
Itās not even a question. He will never be sacked and unfortunately, itās right not to sack him.
The board would never sack him unless something dramatic happened like us being mid table or we start getting a half full stadium, and neither of those things are going to happen.
Wenger will resign, when he decides heās had enough.
Theyāve offered him a contract so they clearly donāt intend sacking him.
Does that make The Board the ultimate issue or Wenger?
Arsene takes most of the flack, but thereās no reason for him to turn down a healthy contract.
Itās not really about āhitting targetsā is it.The board arenāt blind to the fact that major titles bring more commercial revenue etc. Theyāre arenāt blind to the fact that we havenāt made a major impression in either the league or CL over last 3 seasons. They know Wenger is the common denominator, they know heās responsible.
Theyāre giving Wenger the benifit of the doubt. Which is more than fair enough considering the consistency, CL money and participation he achieved during a difficult financial period for the club.
I donāt the board will ever sack Wenger nor should they imo, itās a very unique situation in football. If we have a poor showing in the CL I think Wenger definitely walks at the end of season regardless of top 4 or FA cup. I think heāll examine the last 3 seasons where heās finally been backed with resources and self assess if he has the ability to take this club forward.
Imagine thinking Wenger will ever be sacked. Not sure a poll was entirely necessary. The question should really be when will Wenger hang up his zip-struggling coat. Iām going for next century!
So are we in consensus that the board are the issue and not Wenger then?
Wenger gets torn a new one all the time but why on Earth would he quit, literally has no reason to. Only the top level have the power to decide whether he gets a new contract or not. Shouldnt all of our concerns be aimed at them and not the manager?
Granted its quite a unique situation but if the board are truly not happy then they have the power to change things. Wenger wont be changing any time soon.
I think Wenger is very much smart enough to realize when his time is over. If this season goes up in flames (it almost has) and we finish barely in the top4 (or worse) heās definitely going to re-think his future and eventually quit. Even if it doesnāt seem so I think heās driven by the desire to succeed more than money at this point but will have to realize that itās not going to happen anymore.
Surely the latter.
Would cost too much money to sack himā¦And we know our lot dont like wasting money when they dont have toā¦
How the fuck is this a genuine question.
No chance of him ever being sacked. The board dont have the balls to do it
Wengerās vanity project and the boardās lack of on-field ambition go nicely hand in glove. Perfect recipe for stability and stagnation.
Nothing changes if nothing changes!
Yup and as Wengerās finally belatedly adapted his transfer policy as footballās new era dawns, itās only served to heighten the spotlight on his other failings, ultimately hastening his demise, whether that be this summer or after another two years of not challenging in the league/Europe. Sadly wiggy is still safe enough in his ivory tower though
Donāt give a toss as long as he goes.
As for keeping him because he is our most successful manager. That is past history.
What you were should not influence the objectives of the club and the fans.
Wenger is a clueless clown living on his past glories.
Get rid and letās move on.
.ps.
If the useless French tw at stays it wonāt take Einstein to for cast what next season will bring. Just look at the last dozen.
Up to Wenger.
For the people who say he should never be sacked. No one is unsackable. Just call it a mutual agreement if you donāt want it to be called āsackedā in public
Sacking Wenger is a value/risk ratio situation. For as long as this ratio is smaller than 1, Wenger will never get sacked.
The prospect of firing Wenger and bringing in a new manager could potentially increase value, but it also bears a much greater risk given that sticking with Wenger is basically a risk-free option. It is almost impossible to determine whether value will be > than risk upon sacking Wenger, which is why our risk-averse management will never do it.
Sorry should have made it clear. Not really sack, but not offer a contract.
