Oh man, someone re-upped this little beauty from my Twitter feed earlier.
That Tweet DID age well. I feel exactly the same way as I did 2 years ago. Very sad that the club are still bumbling their way around a decisive decision, but there you go.
There’s really not much rumbling in the news feeds, so you have to pick up little snippets where you can. Jezza Wilson is always a good place to look. Though he is Lord of the Yearly Warchest, he’s also a trusted sidekick of the establishment. He said this in an article yesterday.
No decision has yet been made on whether Wenger will continue as manager for what is the final year of his contract next season, but the pressure for change will become intense if they do not now win the Europa League.
The club’s board have not yet made a decision and, while performances and the failure again to mount a Premier League title challenge will be of greatest concern, the general apathy of supporters will also be considered.
Recent home Premier League games have been notable for the large numbers of empty seats and, while that is partly explained by how relatively little there is to play for in the league, directors will be anxious to see those fans return.
Interesting that fan apathy is coming into the equation. I mean, really, that should be last on the shopping list of Wenger-inflicted-horrors. The fact that we’re heading into season two of Europa League on a technicality tells you all you need to know about how poor we’ve been. Outside of that, poor squad management, lack of identity, weak grasp of tactics, failure to develop young kids, crimes against zippers, failure to make our senior players better and a wage bill that greatly outstrips talent are just a few I could mention.
It’s nice the board care about the fans, but we know that’s a big fat lie. They barely care about the club. The only person they seem to worry about is Arsene Wenger, likely because he fattened all of their wallets over the years. Grown men, in positions of power, more worried about the feelings of another grown man versus the health of a club loved by millions. Incredible. If one of them were my granddad, I’d be the one busting out the slipper.
You can say that’s harsh to tar servants of Arsenal that way, but look, all the facts point in that direction. We’re utterly rudderless and there’s apparently still a decision to make on his future. There should be no decision. There has been no decision to make for years. This whole charade is being dragged out by people who don’t seem to grasp the basics of running a modern football club, or worse, people who don’t care beyond their titles.
Interesting that Martial wanted to have a chat with Arsenal last transfer window before Mikki joined us.
‘It is understood that Martial was disappointed at not having the chance to discuss a move to Arsenal in January, when the London club raised the possibility of including the forward in the swap deal that led to Henrikh Mkhitaryan leaving Old Trafford instead,’
Again, you always have to tally the excitement of a young prospect wanting in, with the reality of what Wenger would do to that talent. But great to read we’re still a draw. I know I keep banging on about it, but if we moved Wenger on, and brought in someone of Allegri’s stature, imagine what that would do to our reputation among players? We’d be an instant threat.
I really hope we’ve lined someone up already. We had done last summer and it didn’t leak, so it’s possible to keep big stories under wraps. I’m just not sure you can do that with a name as important as Allegri. Still, no one knows where Tuchel is going yet, so we can but dream.
What is apparent is there’s a big, fat, juicy excuse to keep Wenger…
‘We felt with the World Cup, shortened preseason, earlier transfer window and Europa Qualifiers, it was a bad time to introduce a new manager’
Oh man, when I wrote that it felt so real… like a Gazidis haunted ouija board just took over my soul and punched out those words.
Again, a large chunk of fans will fall for the logic, but the reality of that incoming statement is it’s a farce. It’d be the perfect time to chuck Wenger out. Bring in a new coach, give them a fluff season to experiment with the squad, build out the backroom team, work with Sven and Raul on a transfer plan, and implement ideas and a philosophy.
Next season, however it happens, is a write-off. If we win the Europa, we’ll fail because this squad finished 6th/7th with one game a week. If we finish in the Europa League positions, we’ll not be able to cope with zero prep time for the season ahead. If Wenger brings in new faces, they’ll be given the same old crappy ideas. Not just that, but remember, no one plays hard for a manager who is retiring at the end of the season.
Many joys await… the best solution? Rip that plaster/band-aid/prosthetic-leg/gangrenous-leg off and get on with making Arsenal great again (Actually #MAGA < should we not be taking over that hashtag?)
Right, see you in the comments.
CC,
So we agree then !
And seeing as that’s the case, do you not feel either a responsibility or at least being supportive towards the fans trying to influence and/or expedite the decision to change ? We may not be shareholders but we are very very important stakeholders.
Gutless Champagne charlie turns my stomach and like Wenger has overstayed his welcome at the club.
UTarse Of course I agree with that principal, but I’m not convinced there’s a unified and proven course of action that fans can partake in to expedite/highlight the process. I don’t think for a second fans avoiding games is of much concern to the board. Majority are pre-bought tickets, plus it can be easily spun this season with nothing to play for. I personally believe targeting Wenger is/was the wrong way to go about it. Not because his position doesn’t need addressed, it absolutely does. But it applies no pressure onto Stan or the board. I do wonder exactly how… Read more »
CC, Ok let me pose another angle, I think I’m right in saying that you have respect and gratitude for wenger hence don’t want to see an acrimonious or distasteful end ? So , at £10m a year and approx £120m he’s earned since we last won or challenged for the title, do you not think he’s abusing your goodwill by not walking away from the club in an organised and mutually beneficial manner ? I’m pretty sure he knows that most of the profession, the media and a large section of the fans feel the time has come for… Read more »
CC, “I personally believe targeting Wenger is/was the wrong way to go about it. Not because his position doesn’t need addressed, it absolutely does. But it applies no pressure onto Stan or the board.

Champagne
“Who’s going to be responsible for scouting/selecting the new manager? Ivan ‘No better candidate than Wenger’ Gazidis?”
One, Sanllehi, obviously; he hired managers as DoF at Barcelona.
Two, Gazidis was clearly just singing the company line when he made that ridiculous statement.
Three, who are you to mock someone for saying laudatory things about Arsene Wenger? You’ve literally been defending Wenger’s reputation from the moment you arrived here 18-24 months ago. You are a “respect Wenger” type; who are you to mock someone for saying fawning things about him? No one.
There are rumours of our kit sponsorship deal reaching as much as 60m PA. I’m pretty sure that puts us among the big boys at least.
surely I’m not the only one that finds Micheal24 utterly and painfully boring,LITERALLY says the same fvckin thing everyday,reminds me of a certain J.oe
“Big boys” to battle it out for 6th with Burnley…… sponsors must be licking their lips
Champagne advocates going at Kroenke rather than Wenger not for the bogus strategic reasons he just offered but because he is a former AKB who still has a soft spot for Wenger; he doesn’t like vitriol and criticism being aimed at Wenger. Champagne is a “respect Wenger” type who came to Le Grove in part to combat the criticism and abuse of Wenger that goes on here; he’d prefer vitriol and criticism be aimed at Kroenke rather than a man he once idolized (and still deeply admires).
UTarse,
Atleast, someone in the club competes with the big boys. Whoever negotiates these deals are the only people in the club that genuinely earn their stripes. You’ve gotta be special to basically rob that kind of money for a club that plays in a half filled stadium.
Also from Twitter,
Our sleeves sponsorship could get us something around 15m PA, the highest in the league. I’m officially switching my loyalty from the Arsenal FC to Arsenal negotiating team. Because that deal is a fucking miracle.
Mathew Sayed basically highlighting that Wenger is not only a crap manager but also a shit human being.
What a surprise!
@ Victorious
This is a blog about AFC. You’ve sat through “utterly painfull and boring” stuff for a decade, why concern yourself with me?
I’m not going to change my tack.
Champagne to Red:
“Pretty sure the puking is a reaction to your meds, you dribbly twat.”
Champagne to Michael:
“Christ, you’re fucking dim.”
I love that this guy tells other posters that THEY are arrogant and that THEY are jerks.
Right. Pot meet kettle. If the words above are not the words of an arrogant jerk, I’m the Easter Bunny.

Wenger no longer deserves respect. That fizzled away long ago.
Why should I respect someone who continually disrespects the club and it’s fans.
If @CC met Wenger, he would shake his hand and kiss his feet.
I would not.
Because it’s not how you operate in a public position like he has. It’s undignified and achieves absolutely nothing. So dignified is keeping him for another season? Also who gives a shit if it’s undignified? Undignified is what you see week in week out from him and the players he’s accumulated. With that in mind the options are: sack him immediately, part amicably in the summer, let him see out his contract. The summer is the most appropriate outcome. Right but all the noise you’re hearing is that he isn’t going to walk away. I believe you said something recently… Read more »
Let’s end on “arrogant jerk”
Although I’m sure his analytical brain will counter it.
UT/Dissenter I’ve never been a fan of the onous being on the manager to call time so to speak, I think it’s a very rare circumstance that it applies. Majority of the time, Wenger also being the case, the manager is convinced they’re capable of doing right by the club. In Wengers case I think you’d be hard pushed to find someone so entrenched in this falsehood. Arsenal have created their own problem through their standoffish leadership. Wenger operates in a bubble where he’s accountable to nobody, otherwise he wouldn’t be in a job. Asking for Wenger to suddenly hold… Read more »
Solid post, Pedro!
Charlie I get that you’re saying he deserves better he doesn’t deserve being sacked or the indignation that comes with it but I’m saying he absolutely does deserve the indignation. He’s been sleep walking through the job for years now being various degrees of nonchalant, negligent and out right sloppy and it’s finally caught up to him. For this does he deserve to be fired? Once the final chance of positivity from this season is gone he should be gone too. It makes no sense keeping him around a minute longer
COMPLETE REGIME CHANGE, NOTHING LESS.
Marko “So dignified is keeping him for another season?” Why do you do this? No, I didn’t say that. I actually stated twice hats not what I said. So again, third time, no. Dignified is handling it in the summer, and if he needs ‘encouraged’ to leave then so be it. But it’s futile doing it now, it should be done in the summer.

So again, third time, no. Dignified is handling it in the summer, and if he needs ‘encouraged’ to leave then so be it. But it’s futile doing it now, it should be done in the summer.
You have said that again so again I’ll say. It’s like you said the idea that he’d walk by himself isn’t likely so our options are sack him or let him see out his contract. And honestly who cares about how dignified it looks when half of Europe laughs at us being afraid to get rid of a clearly useless manager.
Sure, Charlie.
so many hypocritical asswipes on Legrove,how many of you hafwits would honestly ‘walkaway’ from a 10M paying job?…but yet want Wenger to do same because a certain ‘clueless yank cvnt’ is negligent on his duty,truly pathetic
I’d have sacked him in November. You could see the rot coming from a mile off and you knew he’d struggle for top 4. I’d have sacked him in Nov and replaced him with Carlo in Dec let him target some players in January and have a go in the second half of the season. Had we done that I think we’d have made top 4. With Wenger it was clearly not going to happen for a long time but a new manager in December/January had enough time
Marko
I’m not against sacking him if he’s not going to walk assisted in the summer, but there’s no need for it now.
He’s an Arsenal legend no matter the current emotional climate. You don’t operate that way to someone who’s given 20 years service. Personal feelings aside his faults are the fact he’s no longer good enough at his job. It’d be incredibly poor taste to dismiss him with 5 games of the season left.

CC,
I was trying to explain that with a lot of wenger out fans its personal, he’s made out like a bandit, continually lied to us and hugely underperformed for the club and disrespected the fans hence the zero respect and gratitude I have towards him. You on the other hand just won’t go there and insist it’s Stan.
I tried.
If Arsenal has to treat Wenger with some special type of rarefied deference then surely Wenger has responsibility to return the same favor to Arsenal …by resigning and leaving with honor. Kroenke is clueless, lets stick to his stereotype; a billionaire American stuck on is godforsaken ranch hunting down near- extinct animals. He doesn’t care about the sport of the club. Surely the greater burden has to be on the manager who’s claimed all along that he loves” the club. There’s no punitive damage or restriction on Wenger’s contract that precludes him from bowing out.

Anyone who thinks Wenger is hanging around for 10 million needs to stop thinking out their arse.
This is not about money for Wenger. It is about the fear of the after-life of football management. It is about what to do when cut off from being the cynosure of all eyes.
That argument of walking away from 10 million is a bogus one. It’s not about the money.
Matt Law in The Telegraph claiming it’s all but a formality that Wenger is gone.
Suggests there is competition between each of Gazidis, Sanllehi and Mislintat as to who should be successor, that there is some sense of a power struggle as to which of the three will fill Big Weng’s power vacuum, and that the process of approaching candidates is being impacted by the perceived need to be respectful to Wenger.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/04/18/arsenal-split-want-succeed-arsene-wenger/
And yet he’ll still be here next season…
Matt Law of the Telegraph seems to have a bit of inside information. Hopefully. His piece below was published just a few hours ago and makes a number of important claims, including: Wenger will be replaced this summer; Mislintat, Sanllehi and Gazidis are leading the search for Wenger’s replacement; leading names at the moment are Luis Enrique, Julian Nagelsmann, Domenico Tedesco, Leonardo Jardim and Brendan Rodgers. Definitely worth reading.

Dissenter Actually it’s really about his pride and his ego. Wenger is an immensely arrogant person; despite everything, he still thinks he is right, and he still thinks he can prove his critics wrong. And even if there is a little voice in his head telling him that he can’t turn things around, that his critics might be right, he would rather deny this and continue to fail at Arsenal than give his critics the pleasure of seeing him step aside or admit that he has been wrong. That is one thing Wenger will never, ever do. He will insist… Read more »

However, all of the scouting will have been done by the others, and he’ll only be choosing from among the names they’ve provided him. So Sanllehi will be performing one of the key roles he was hired to perform, assisting in the selection of a new manager. Just as I said. You’re such a… Read more »
I would imagine that any new Managerial Appointment will be made ultimately by Kroenke and/or his son, but presumably they will take advice from Gazidis and Sanllehi.

There have been too many suggestions of more elderly/experienced managers based on historic success. Also I would like Arsenal to choose someone who is more of a coach than Wenger was and with a good football background. I made the… Read more »

What’s also important is the loss of branding world wide particularly the younger generation of new supporters from the age of around 7 onwards that are not going to be following Arsenal.

Lets get real chaps, wenger’s not getting fired this season whether he deserves it or not.
Kroenke and the Board will try and get him to resign. If he won’t go of his own accord, they’ll have to sack him.
TonyD
‘Not only should Wenger go now but also Gazidis and the old BoD cronies. Then if Kroenke proves to continue to be a problem, he should be hounded out as well.’
I agree, but that’s wishful thinking I’m afraid. We’re stuck with Stan and co unless the club starts losing money.
It’s difficult to ‘hound’ a man who doesn’t live here, doesn’t ever say anything and doesn’t have any input apart from repeatedly hiring the wrong people and insisting on self sustainability.
Also, there is the possibility that they might get it right post wenger.
Well I see he’s already up to his excuses about incomings with it being a World cup year and all.
Tony D There is no question that at the beginning of 21st Century Arsenal were in a very strong position to MATCH Manchester United as the major football club in UK. The club were producing results, recruiting some of the best players, had built a state of the art training ground and were in process of building a 60,000 + stadium. So one may ask what went wrong with the club’s plans to become a dominant force in EPL and European Football? I think that our demise is a combination of bad luck and poor decisions. 1.

The biggest problem is not being in a position to challenge for the title.” If the Wenger apologists don’t see this as arrogance or an insult to even the most limited IQ, then our beloved club will be suffering a further decline… Read more »

Good post. It is comments like that one that reveal Wenger’s utter contempt for the supporters, for the public, for the truth. In his mind, he can ignore all of that, spout utter nonsense and smile. After all, he is Arsene Wenger. This is precisely why he deserves no one’s respect or good will, regardless of what he achieved 14+ years ago. What is he today? An utter scoundrel.

Part of why I’ve not watched him do an interview (apart from the insanity that was next level is the next level is the next level with Jake Humphrey) for years. He really does like to bury his head in the sand. There could be one person in the stadium and he’d still refuse to accept why its empty, blaming it on the weather or some sort.
