A win against a league 2 side after being 0-1 down and AW thinks this entitles him to stay for another 14 years. Wise up prof, you need to get back to winning ways in the PL & CL starting this weekend before you cosy your a**e back in to the comfy seat. If we don't get a top 4 spot this season, AW will be toast. What say you?
"I have had 14 years at this club and kept them 14 years in the Champions League. I hope it lasts another 14." What an uppity, jumped up bastard. How dare he have hopes???
Well I don't think he would want to stay another 14 years. 4 perhaps but a further decade beyond that would make him a 75 yr old and very rich man. I would imagine he would rather be wanting to spend his riches earlier than later. If he doesn't turn this EPL season around he may not even have to wait 4 years for his retirement. I hope neither he nor we, will be toast.
Frankly, I think you should all be extremely happy and proud that a great manager like Wenger should want to stay at your club, despite the fact that all his careful planning has been greatly compromised by events beyond his control. How many other teams have witnessed such great displays of loyalty and passion from their managers?
Are you suggesting it shouldn't be renewed? Perhaps football management should be limited to two terms of office, just like the US presidential elections. That way, no one, no club and nothing runs the risk of becoming stale.
another 14 yrs from 'le prof that will do me, the man is our greatest manager and loves the club through and through else he would of left ages ago when Real came calling, even italian teams/psg/spanish teams would still have him. im greatfull hes still here
Dear Lee Very honourable of you and our manager I'm sure. However, if by his refusal to make changes, we slide out of CL contention and into mid table and Heaven forbid lower, would you still be pleased if he carries on?
I nearly choked on my tea after he came out with that gem, and that coming after the MAGNIFICANT win over the mighty Shrews. Good grief, i think he needs to focus on fixing our dodgy defence than coming out with innane comments like this. Only one manager has a job for life, Fergy. Man U could do a futurama and have Fergies brain in a jar and still have him as manager. Funny thing is, they'll probably still win the league....
The fact that he hasn't won anything in 6 years and we've had the worst start in over 50 years. Nothing at all.
I was under the impression he wasn't renewing... I may be mistaken though. That's why I thought he might want to bow out on a high and really push for silverware in these last years.
I too doubt if he will renew too if he does get that far. In respect of going out on a high I think the coming of the FFP rules must have been in the gameplan. No doubt the two leading departures of the summer have been a major setback to the final hurrah as well which may lend credence to the tales that the club had made 2 club record bids over the summer. If we do not make the CL for next year I think Arsene's plans for a swansong may well be scuppered with only the two domestic up competitions left to go for.
These articles are getting boring now. About time some of you had a reality check. Sack Wenger and this club really would be in a crisis.
"I have had 14 years at this club and kept them 14 years in the Champions League. I hope it lasts another 14." Now just read the bold bit, that's more than likely what he meant.... i very much doubt he will, or indeed will want to be here when hes that old!
I'm sorry Piskie but I think Arsene is the one who should have a reality check. One can understand a blip of two or three games, perhaps a bad month but this form has lasted six. You're not going to tell me this is the best a manager of this club can do. Not all of us are asking for him to go but if he does nothing to reverse the trend, would you still want him to stay? There are problems which we have which Arsene wants to tackle his own way but as the results and our performance show, that way is far from achieving anything of great promise. We may have won last evening but you have to admit that we did struggle against a League 2 side in the first half. That's nothing to be proud of and the equaliser when it came was more a relief than an expectation. If Arsene fails to deliver then he should consider where he is taking this club and for that matter the board as well. If all were to end in failure, the management simply walk away and probably have fairly sizeable cheques to deposit by way of severance. We on the other hand will be left to pick up the pieces. Sack Arsene and we'll be in crisis, will we? Well, that rather depends on who we get to replace him I would have thought. If we are not at crisis point now, where do you think we are at? And since this is still a forum last I looked, I imagine we can express views which are offered politely and with no intent to cause offence.
