Concerned Wenger has only one year left?
Welcome to the Fantasy Debate.
This is where an interesting question/topic is posed for your responses. The comment with the most number of thumbs up will obviously be the best response made in the debate.
Today’s topic is:
Are you concerned Wenger has just one year left on his contract?
The Arsenal boss is yet to renew his current deal at the club which expires in the summer of 2011.
Therefore, are you worried about the Frenchman’s future and hope he extends his reign at Arsenal or do you feel his time is up anyway?
Couldnt be less worried, im hoping the board have decided not to offer him a deal.
Time for this club to move into the 21st century.
Arsène was actually one of the people bringing Arsenal into the 21st century, you clueless fuck. He and David Dein have revolutionized the Club and not to mention the English game.
Over to the subject:
Unless we have a completely catastrophic campaign, I’d like Wenger to stay. Even though he has his flaws as a manager, I don’t see anyone else (realistically) take over the club. Therefore Wenger should be allowed more time at the helm. He may not have won trophies for a couple of years, but he’s ensured great stability at Arsenal. People forget how difficult it is being a club at the top of the Premier League. Just look at Liverpools failed campaign last term. We could easily get a Rafa Benitez type as a manager who fucks up the squad completely.
Time you found a new club, Numbskull!
i hope you fuck off and surport your real team sp*rs
I’m more concerned about him picking some decent players that can win us trophies than his contract.
Yeah I am concerned he might sign it!!!!
Time to move on.
I hope these is the end for him cause he should move upstairs or elsewhere. I think he can offer Arsenal FC nothing football wise and instead of further deterioration we should shake hands and move on.
I know also Wenger is human being and we should think about his welfare. Watching him on Chamack signing on ceremony he looked really stressed, I simply don’t our most successful manager to go on bad note. The problem he want to do everything at Arsenal and these is a problem in long run. Alex Ferguson hardly ever get involve in training field and he can last many years cause he delegate while Wenger never delegate why?
In fact nothing moves until he is in office, While he was away in World cup Arsenal could not move or do anything until he got back, These is why when Arsenal fail it really bad for him health wise and for that reason we should let him go, Cheers.
THATS RUBBISH…. Gazidis signs the players, Wenger was away when KOSCIELNY Wwas signed. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT
You bet it rubbish Gazidis only sign players Wenger tell him to. Plus Wenger also want to be involved in negotiations hence the delay.
Please learn English before you start laying into my club’s manager.
Yeah and that why you write one line haha. Okay dude stop worshipping Wenger or getting erections every time someone mention his name.
Holy shit some people are retarded. Amazing.
I’m not concerned, if everyone invloved wants the contract extended, then it will be. If not, then he’s gone and a new era for Arsenal will begin. Not necessarily a better period like some people assume it will be, but that will be that and we’ll still be Arsenal, so whatever.
If Arsene thinks that this style of management, putting all your trust and faith in unknown players who have only played in a mid level French team (which is a mid-level league) and sacrificing trophies to nurture and unearth gems. If he thinks another Big club will let him do that, then I say go ahead. I love Wenger, but I love the Champion Wenger, the one that won trophies for fun, not the one that says qualifying for the CL is like winning a trophy. I understand that their were financial constraints, but they are not there anymore. It’s time to spend some money and show the world how big Arsenal FC is.
I am hoping his contract is not renewed.
As Arsene doesn’t know best said, its time to move the club into the 21st century and Wenger is not the man to take us forward.
We need a manger to shake the team up has the vision to realise that 4th is not a trophy.
What a stupid question to ask on the eve of a new season!!!
It has never been more academic than it is today.
If the season goes well there will be a clamour for him to ‘please please stay’ … probably with you leading the chorus!
if not he may well call time himself, he’s that kind of man.
If ur a gooner, this is a good time to start SUPPORTING the team, if not, pls pls ^^^^ OFF!!
THANK YOU, very well said. get off your lazy asses gooners and support your team instead of scrutinizing the shit out of it!
No I’m not worried in fact it never really crossed my mind that his contract is up. I don’t want him to leave I would prefer if he moved to the board room and hand picked his successor personally. Or get rid of Pat Rice and get an assistant who will tell him when he’s going wrong
wandarah, its called having an opinion, have you ever thought that maybe people have had enough of the lies, the lack of trophies, the team having the same problems being unsolved season after season despite the problems being obvious
Have to agree with the others, at this very moment in time Wenger doesn’t deserve a new contract. Underwhelmed with his summer signings but lets see if he buys before the end of the month and more importantly wait and see how his team performs this season. There really won’t be any excuse for even more failure.
FAIR ENOUGH…but how relevant is a new contract TODAY???
Yes, I’m very concerned. I’m concerned that he might renew it! He has given a huge amount to both Arsenal and the Premier League and now the time has come for both of us to go our separate ways. Of course, that view is based on my belief that we will win nothing next season with the current squad and 6 years without a trophy is way too much for club of Arsenal’s stature. Arsene would not be afforded that time at any other top club in europe.
Hang on, remember Liverpool have NEVER won the premier league and last won the league 20 years ago now. I can understand why some people want wengers head, but personally I hope he stays. Bring in keown and Dixon as defensive coaches and we’ll be fine!
jc – I’m not questioning your right to have an opinion.
Mourinho once said Wenger is the only manager in the world under no pressure to succeed. This is a disgrace and should never ever have come to that.
He will be fine, whether Arsenal stays fine is another thing as there is no incentive to succeed.
Oh so Mourinho as well as being the special one is the knowledgable one when it comes to the internals of Arsenal. Of course Wenger’s under pressure but his record stands up to any objective scrutiny. Try working out the average league position over his tenure for a start.
Momono – if you think that Wenger isn’t a winner, or that he isn’t frustrated, or that there isn’t pressure on him to win – then you probably believe something Mourinho said.
Oh…wait.
What has Wenger done to deserve a new contract? He is lucky to have such a dumb board backing him.If he was at any other top club in Europe with his record over the last 5 years he would have been sacked.
Too true, perhaps we should get Benetiz in. AMIRITE?!
Just how ungratefull can you grt?? Wenger has brought more to this club than any other manager. We have one of the best teams in the Premier League, and play the most attractive football. We have the best economy of the teams competing at this level. If we win the League this year, or maybe the Champions League, the other guys on this forum will beg for Wenger to sign on. Don’t get me wrong, for I’m also bothered by the fact that Wenger havent bought a new goalie, and at least one more central defender. Somebody like Akinfeev who would relish the chanse to play for The Gunners. No matter what happens, he is the best manager for us, no one out there would be better. So get behind the proffessor, and let’s get the Premier League back where it belongs. Come on you gunners. ps. In Wenger we trust.
Some of you should hang your heads in shame.If you truly cant see that we have been blessed with a true genius and by the way he has transformed the whole culture and standing of the club (3rd largest club in the world…and yes even when we havnt won anything for the past 5 years!30+ million fans worldwid,largest fan memebership in world football!great stadium,champs leauge football every year,top stadium in Europe)then I pity the lot of you.
The day he leaves The Arsenal it will be an extremly sad day for the club,and they will certainly be celebrating alot harder down the other end of the seven sisters road,than they would do over any of our star players leaving past and present.I wont post again and respond if you feel the need to defend yourselves as I shouldnt have to waste my time with muppets like you…trust me,you will show your ignorance with your denials as much as you already have done with your comments,its that blatant…The man is a legend,and we all are truly honoured to have him lead our club.Wake up!
In Arsene we trust!!! Bravo, couldn’t have said it better…
What has he done? He has kept the club among the elite of Europe whilst building a new stadium… have you been there?
He has built new squad of potential champions, with a rush of classy “english” talent about to break through.
Yes he has some obvious weaknesses, sure he does but you guys really need to get some perspective.
Its best not to think about it.. He will renew it if he wants to. no need to dwell on it for a year…
PLEASE Arsene Please please please do NOT let Wenger renew! Jesus I can not handle another 2 years of trophyless failure, another 2 years of Diaby, Denilson and some random French 2nd division footballer. I cannot handle repeats of 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
We win nothing. Players like Ozil are openly claiming they would never join us because they care about winning! ‘3rd place is a domestic trophy’?!
He can go win domestic trophies in France or wherever then. AW is old news, finished. Because he once went unbeaten in 2004 apparently he’s allowed to spend six, seven, eight years winning nothing whatsoever. Don’t even want him moved to the board-room as he would no doubt force more crap French-Africans like Silvestre to be signed. No way, bomb him out LAST ORDERS.
Shocking team we now have we’ve no chance of winning PL or CL this season everyone knows it, you all do.
Ozil who?
We have Cesc Fabregas…
We have Jack Wilshere
We have Samir Nasri
We have Tomas Rosicky
We have Aaron Ramsey
Where exactly would the german play?
I tell you whats shocking… the nigerian team at the world cup. You go sort that out first.
F off you sp*rs fan
Our team isn’t ‘shocking’ you absolute muppet.
I think its fitting that this is his last year. Its make or break time for project youth. It could be Cesc’s last year as well so why not bolster the squad and go for it this season?! But alas that doesn’t seem to be the plan so far this summer. What’s goin on?!!
Stop being so angry. He was left with no money from 2005 to 2008 and did well in the circumstances. From last sumner on its his responsibility, and the evidence of last year suggests he may be losing the plot. Nevertheless, it must be this year that we judge him on and if at the end there are no trophies principally down to crosses into our box not being dealt with and lack of cover in central defense and defensivve midfield, that would be unforgivable
Wenger is a brilliant accountant but a manager with absolutely zero tactical nous and no ambition whatsoever besides finishing inside top four.Five years promising us heaven and earth and delivering nothing is for me a strecth to far,you simply dont award failure in this game on the other hand the board have made a bundle and they are not spurred on by winning trophies i dont think they give a tosh as long as it is profitable.If wenger should be awarded with a new contract it should be a one year contract to give him a kick up the backside.The constant surrender at hte hands of Manure and CHavski over the last season also suggests to me that he have given up on competing.
If Wenger doesn’t deliver silver-ware or at least show that we’ve significantly closed the gap between us & Chelsea, Man Utd & the Barcelona’s of this world, I’d like to see David Moyes. Ferguson has spoken of him as a possible successor at OT, but Mourinho wants that job. With what he’s done at Everton, he’d be an inspired appointment.
David Moyes? With due respect I can’t see the Cesc’s or Van Persie’s of this world saying that they play for Arsenal because of him, as they have done with Wenger. I suppose you think that Moyes’ chanpions league experience would be of benefit. Now how did Everton do a few years ago?
Seeing some of the short sighted mockery and bile on here and other Arsenal forums is shocking. Hope he stays here for the next 10 years at the least. We’re on our way to becoming an elite club and we have largely one man to thank for that.
The man puts his heart and soul into the club. hes been here for nearly 15 years. 15! The fact is that good managers are hard to find and keep. Look at all the so call “big” clubs (except Man U) many with loads of cash to spend (i.e Chelsea, Man City, Real Madrid & Barca etc) but can’t find or keep a good manager. Just look how many managers these clubs have gone through in the past 10 years.
Look at the idiot (Babutunde) above me: “I can’t last another 2 years without trophies”
GO AND SUPPORT THE CHAVS YOU UTTER BELL END
What guarantee do you have that whoever replaces Wenger will win a trophy within 1 year, 2 years, 10 years….if at all?!! TWAT
‘We have Cesc Fabregas’
Errrr…he is desperate to leave! Ha ha ha.
He also kinda realises how average we are. Unlike most of you blinkered AKB jokers.
We also have Almunia.
And Fabianski!
We managed to fit not one but 2 for the price of 1 clowns!
‘We have Rosicky’? Lol oh is this the same injury-prone muppet that never plays, is crap when he does play and might also leave and join the Turks!
We have Nasri? Who IS he! Oh yeah that overrated tosser who could not even make the WC despite all his talking!
How about Barca raped us last season
How Man United demolished us
How Chelsea hammered us 5-0 aggregate
Arsenal? We are winning stuff all this season I repeat it is a seriously garbage squad with an average tactically clueless joke who will NEVER win the CL.
If any of you clowns think we stand a chance of winning the league tell me where you buy your drugs! LOL
FACTS
2006: Fail
2007: FAIL
2008: HOT AIR
2009: Jack all
2010: Wenger looks like a mug again (Yawn)
FICTION
‘Bla bla perspective bla bla he had no money bla bla project youth’.
The Spuds finished closer to us than they ever have in the PL and even beat us that’s how shocking and average we have become.
In fact what am i on about.
3rd place IS a domestic trophy!
Give AW a new 10 year-rolling contract! Silly me.
I assume you super-optimists think we have a GREAT chance in the league this year eh?
Go on. Someone tell me we stand even a chance of winning the league or CL. I need a good laugh and to be honest AFC happens to be the best circus these days! Much cheaper than the comedy club!
Danish, how far is your head up your ass? Wenger an accountant, not concerned with winning? Before we built the Emirates (an achievement made possible only by Wenger’s presence) we were there or thereabouts every year of his reign.
Your pathetic whining makes me sick. It is only when he’s gone you fools will realise what we have right now.
Arsha
I have no guarantee that whoever comes in after AW will win trophies
One thing is for sure that I can GUARANTEE that you won’t see utter dicks like Almunia and Fabianski in goal. You’ll see defenders who can do the basics, full backs who can track crosses and midfielders who can make runs and bust a gut. You might even see midfielders who can cross and keepers who make saves! Woooah there we might EVEN (whisper it quietly) not chuck the Fa cup and might even coach defending and tactics in training!
So long as we get that I’d be happy.
So bring on Moyes, Hiddink whoever.
Just not Wenger please. He is a finished past-it loser managing a team that has NO CHANCE of winning the league or CL! It ain’t that we don’t win….it’s that every sane footie fan knows Arsenal are also-rans who stand NO CHANCE!
Tunde you go to great lengths to build a case for why Wenger is not the right man, highlighting his and the team’s deficiencies as you see them, but your solution is to bring ‘Moyes, Hiddink, whoever’. Your reasoning seems to have gone out the window when you actually get round to making your point mate, seems to me that you can’t actually think of a suitable replacement. Which pretty much negates your argument, doncha think?
Wenger gave up trying to win trophies years ago its all about his project.Dont believe me 2007 CC final played the kids v Chelsea’s first team when a trophy was at stake. 2009 FA cup semi v the Chav’s left out our player who was on fire Arshavin
As i said its all about beautiful football and being loved for Wenger and sod the trophies and sod the fans
The Law
I agree with you actually
It’s only when Wenger is gone that we will truly realise what we have.
Only when he is gone will I realise what a magnificent lot we have in Almunia, Diaby, Denilson and Fabianski we have!
I really WANT to appreciate what we have at Arsenal.
So Wenger better make haste and bugger off double-quick then lol…
Babatunde, it is clear that you have drunk from the poisoned pool of Myles Palmer’s brain for far too long, and any sane Gooner knows to avoid that idiot. Wasn’t he the one who claimed Henry would never be a striker? Look what happened next. Wenger doesn’t coach defence? Who broke the record for most clean sheets in the Champions League? Oh wait, it was Martin Keown, right?
You are a cretin, sir, and the sooner your ilk fuck off to Chelsea or whatever other team will give you the trophies you’re so desperate for, the better Arsenal will be.
The Law – don’t waste your time on dickheads like him. I doubt if he’s a gooner anyway.
The Law. Great argument!
I especially LOVED the cowardly way you dodged a simple question. Myles Palmer? He happens to write sense actually it is only poison to a wanker like you because YOUR ilk happen to drink from the enchanted dinkle of papa Wenger! Lol.
What I love MOST about you foolish delude sheep is the way your first port of call is ‘fuck off and go support Chavs’ zzzzzzzzz
I wish I could support a serious team that at least tried to win trophies and had a manager that at least tried to win things BELIEVE ME! It’s embarrassing enough supporting this dross when there are so many blinkered muppets like youse lot! No wonder the Chelsi and Man United fans laugh at us!
Mugs like you give it the large ones until United come to town and give us a can of whoop-ass! Or if not then it’s Chelsi destroying us 0-3 on our own turf. More of that to come next season, plenty more.
It’s be nice to be called a glory-hunting Arsenal fan…errrr…except if you want GLORY then Arsenal is certainly the last place you’ll find it under this current shower!
ha ha ha
answer my question instead of being boring and abusive:
do.
you.
think.
arsenal.
can.
win.
the.
league.
title.
this.
season?
(or the CL)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEAE say yes.
i really need a god laugh tonight!
David fucking Moyes!?
In your quest for trophies, you would bring in a manager entirely untested at the level you require – you muppet, Everton let in more goals than Arsenal last season, and yet you imagine the magic Moyes to come in and achieve a miracle with the defenders you’ve just slagged off.
The man may have many qualities, but expecting him to come into Arsenal and deliver you the Trophies you are so desperate for is ludicrous.
This sort of twisted logic needs little explanation.
I mean honestly, if the manager is shit, the squad is shit, the board is shit – what exactly is it that makes you an Arsenal Supporter when you like nothing about the club itself.
Funny how you also pick out ONE Myles palmer preciction. How about you pick these ones.
In 2007 he said we’d win stuff all. We won…?
In 2008 he said we would not even finish in the top 2. We finished….?
In 2009 he said we would win nothing again…we won…?
In 2010 he said it was one of the worst Arsenal squads he had ever seen.
Yep that would be the same one that got raped AT WIGAN!
IN ARSENE WE TRUST!
ha ha ha ha ha choice.
I think the fact that all my Spuds and Chelsi supporting mates WANT wenger to extend his deal at Arsenal says EVERYTHING!
Listen to your Spud and Chelsi mates pal. They obviously know more about the game than you.
You take Myles Palmer seriously.
’nuff said.
Wandarah
I especially like the way you ignored my Hiddink suggestion! Tool.
Hiddink has won trophies AW could not win on the Xbox! ha ha.
Also you Wenger apologists like to excuse his lack of money for failure….then on the other hand you are coating Moyes for letting in more goals than us? Moron. You really are quite effing dense that’s the thing with you ‘i heart Arsene’ clowns, you follow a cult so you just follow the herd!
Moyes conceded more goals? errrr…has that got ANYTHING maybe to do that he does not have anywhere NEAR the amount of funds and wage bill Wenger has! Yet despite that he still qualified Everton for the CL once, and still has a keeper that shits on ours all over, still spooted Jagielka who foolish Wenger is desperately now trying to pay £14 mil for and still has players like Arteta and a goalkeeper that shits on Fabianski and Almunia in his sleep!
and he has done it on virtually no money
Oh and did I mention players like Fellaini who shit all over Denilson and overrated Nasri?
so you see muggins….it isn’t all about TROPHIES AT ALL! it is about getting in a competent manager with discipline who teaches tactics and defence. it’s about something new. I am fed up of seeing the same old mug come up with the same tired excuses after failing.
Sooner see someone else’s bonce on my screen and rather see someone NOT throwing the fa cup
SPUDS have won more than we have over the past 5 years
says it all.
ooooh i forgot
3RD IS A DOMESTIC TROPHY!
IN ARSENE WE CRUST!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Jesus, are you high? Seriously?
Seems like FANS are dishearten with the current board and this coach.
Wengers time was up years ago, and we the FANS need to tell the board that.
This French coward , did not attend the shareholders meeting, because he was going to get nailed. Just wait until this coming year
He is living from his past glories and the coward is taking his bonus and run.
What dam team would put a statue of him , before he left. Only this stupid board
Danny I’m sure you have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all football club’s boards, not to mention Wenger’s dastardly intentions, or you wouldn’t post such drivel. I’m off to find a serious conversation, this is BS.
Greg
you guys just do not want to hear the truth.
Just look at Fabregas statement. clearly he is going next year and what has this french coward done to acomadate his desires in buying quality player-NOTHING
I rest my case
I miss the old Wenger, But I’d like him to stay who else would take over??!!
David Moyes.
While this is a fantasy question,it is good that the fate of our esteemed manager will never have to be decided by some of the nitwitted retards on this site who pass themselves off as fans.The adage that a prophet is never honoured in his own land,has never been more true.Long live Arsene Wenger,a true and living legend.
I can’t believe anyone in their right minds would want someone who has won nothing for 5 years to get a new contract. A massive wage bill and yet our squad this season is the weakest it has been for 5 years! I thought we were dreadful last season but credit to Arsene, he’s managed to somehow deliver an even worse squad than last year!
I find it funny there are people who want this man to stay. Sounds like brainwashing to me. Been a Gooner for over 28 years and I want this man gone asap. Shoulda been booted out after Man U battered us in the CL one of the most incompetent tactical displays I ever saw. He HAS to go, it’s obvious to any sane football follower than Arsenal are quite simply nowhere near the elite. Not good enough.
Time to go please. Thanks for the memories but you’re living off 2004 no wonder Cesc wants out…
I think Arsenal’s wage bill runs at 49% of income compared to around 60% for the remainder of the Prem.
Wenger at the moment is irreplaceable.
Yes, we have an excellent chance of winning the Premiership or the Champions League this year and the future with the talent emerging looks very exciting.
I would like to see another goalkeeper, I think that has been a failing, and a CB, but I am not sure who I would choose, or if they would be available.
Overall I am well pleased.
Wenger has transformed our club, and given us a fantastic new stadium. What’s more, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, none of our rivals have ever gone through a whole season unbeaten. His over-all contribution to our club is huge, and his time here should be celebrated, not derided. What he hasn’t done is take us to the level that Busby & Shankly took their clubs to 40 years ago. He played 2 left-footed centre-backs against Barcelona in CL (Vermaelen & Silvestre), & Messi destroyed us. Liverpool, Chelsea & Man Utd have all knocked us out of CL, and whilst he has a vision to play beautiful football, he has no real tactical nous. Chelsea, Man Utd & Barcelona have reduced us to mediocraty, and it is horrible to watch. We conceded 41 goals last season with only Aston Villa & Fulham failing to score against us. We were 2-0 up against West Ham & Wigan and threw the points away. He has never bought us a genuinely world-class goalkeeper. So yes he deserves great respect for what he has given our club, but there has to be a cut-off point. Gazidis said “We have the money, now we want trophies”, so where’s the money going? I personally don’t think Wenger has the tactical ability to win the CL, and surely that should be a realistic target for a club of our stature.
The Law,if we are all supposed to fuck you will have no audience for your insane ramblings.
Not often im ashamed of beeing an Arsenal fan, but after reading this i really am!
When people say that Spurs have won more than us in the last 5 years then I really have to ask u so-called fan’s : What would u prefer ?
Us to be in the Champions League 13 years in a row ? Or us to end up in 7th and maybe win the Mickey Mouse cup once every 3 or 4 years ?
And by the logic u all seem to share, this year’s PL winner will be Man City, because they are the only team that have bought anyone worth mentioning this summer.
I think many of u anti arsenal fans’ are young people who have played too much Football Manager. Buying a 30m player isnt a guarantee for success. U never can guarantee success in football there is too many factors, like luck and injuries… And i am sure with just a little more luck WE WILL WIN the PL this year!
In Arsene We Trust!
Wenger has had his time. He peaked over 5 years ago and is slowly taking Arsenal down by not only playing really average players, he is giving them EXTENDED and IMPROVED contracts!! He’s a very clever man who builds an empire around him of loyal subjects, loyal because he gives them a lot of money for little return!! He’s done great things for Arsenal but he has lost it, completely and Arsenal have made no progress for the last few years. He has to go, if he doesn’t sign another decent CB and keeper before the end of the month, then we are stuffed this season again!
everyones got a say!we all support the mighty gunners!and want want is best.5 years and counting is a long long time tho.
Arsenal needs some fresh blood in the position of manager.So it will be wise to bid farewell to Mr Wenger as he now has run out of ideas in taking this once mighty club foward.If it were upon me I would have kindly encouraged him to give someone else a chance even this very coming season.Everyone sane was expecting to see him bring in quality players including a top class goal keeper, but Lo and behold the man is just indifferent.So we already know that we are about to enter another trophyless season. Remember, it is only those who are insane who keep on doing the same thing and expect to get different results!!!!!!!!
I hope Wenger stays on till he retires, he is Arsenal. Without him the whole English game let alone Arsenal would still be in the gloomy 80’s of long ball tactics and boring football. When Wenger arrived he raised the standard and it took the premiership a few years to catch up, lets not forget how much money it took everyone else to even match our style.
IF I had to choose anyone as his successor it would probably be Pep Guardiola, he seems to me the kind of bloke who understands the Arsenal style as he has been schooled at Barca who play a very similar way, my only reservation is Barca’s penchant for spending big bucks but if the money is there then by all means spend spend spend, I do however take great pride in achieving success the way Arsene has, i.e without breaking the bank.
To summarise, Arsene can stay as long as he damn well pleases, i think he has earned that much at least.
I hope he continues. I tend to ignore those stupid comments and those clamouring that he leaves. My question to them is…WHO TO REPLACE HIM????
Firstly, would any managers, Mour and Ferguson included, succeed given the financial contrains?? Even, during the Highbury years, we were a selling club. Every year then we had to sell to balance the books. Anelka’s fees was used to build a new training facilities. We were sharing training ground before that.
Secondly, who to replace himand continue the legacy???
Finally, those who wants him to leave and gets their wish…what if we after that, despite spending millions drop out of the top four. I bet that they will again clamour for his dismissal, and root for the return of Wenger. Strange bunch of idiots we got.
I sometimes wonder whether Chelsea,MC and Mu has the same number of So Called Fans/Good time fans. If we were to suffer the same number of losses in the preseason as those clubs, I wonder what some of our fans would be saying.
Anyway, can’t wait for the new season to start, additional signings or not.
Amazing to see all the clowns that ‘support’ arsenal.Glory hunting muppets.wenger is a genius, trophies were always going to suffer because of the emirates stadium,which is vital to any future we can have,Very good squad, i fully believe with a new keeper we will contest and possibly win the league . come on ivan, get the new contract out.
Wenger has lost it completely and he is goner make same mistake like last seasons.
Au revoir plus all AKB’s should go with him.
“What have you done for me lately?” Such is the short-sighted ethos that has reduced the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester city, Tottenham, ect. ect. to a collective managerial carousel over the past half decade. Like it or not the club we love so much is currently enduring a transitional period. If you look at the most successfull sides over the past ten years they all (for the most part) enjoyed one common luxury… Stability in management. To answer the question of worry at Msr. Wenger’s potential departure, no is my answer, no I am not worried. Arsene has always acted with the club’s long-term interests at heart, when he does go it will be because he has nothing left to give and there is a replacement at the ready. Which I doubt will be next year anyhow. Oh and stop telling people to fuck off to spurs, no one deserves that…. Buck Farcelona!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are people who want Wenger out attacked as Spurtz fans.There is a healthly minority of about 30-35% of fans who think his time is up.
He has done an enormous amount for the club but the other teams have caught up with his ideas.He is not going to get back to where he was with this squad ans doesn’t seem able to improve it.It will be sad when he goes but also a relief.
30-35% of Arsenal Fans are that clueless? Really? I’m curious to know who carried out the poll and what method was used because I cannot believe that as many as 35% of arsenal fans believe that Wenger leaving at this stage of Arsenal’s development would be a good thing for their club.
Question: would Fabregas be more or less likely to remain an Arsenal player if Wenger leaves?
Another question: Do this 30_35% of fans actually believe that the Arsenal board would spend 40m on two players, say, if only Wenger wasn’t around?
Yet another Question: How much more debt should Arsenal incur in the pursuit of trophies and what guarantee does anyone have that spending huge amounts of money will win you trophies? Didn’t Benitez have a net spend of over £250m at Liverpool… where are they?
Some bloggers and fans are just so staggeringly clueless.

wenger and fabregas can fuck off to
quicker the better
Some of the comments have really made me laugh. For the past twenty years, as a Gooner under George Graham and Arsene Wenger, I have been able to go to Cup Finals European Games and even toast in the success that has been Arsenal football club. In the “Eighties”
when probably a lot of you weren’t even born, we had to endure Liverpool, Liverpool and Liverpool. Whether it was the team in red or Blue. They were the most successful teams in that period. Along comes Saint George and he changes that. First, with a League Cup win ( Some of you know it as the Worthless Cup or as it was then The Littlewoods Cup), then after 18 YEARS (not 5) we won the league at Anfield. A couple of more seasonns and we won the league in style, conceding only 18 goals in a season (fantastic or what)!
Jump a few years and Arsene (who)? Wenger takes over and after a year we win the DOUBLE again!!! United are the dominant force as they had the money. Arsene feels that we need to move from Highbury to bigger premises so more fans can watch the team and in the mean time prices are sky rocketing ( not entirely Arsenal’s fault, it is the climate of football,(although we are pretty dear)!
We have a fantastic stadium and a great to watch. OK we have no trophies yet but we are so close!
If Arsene does not renew so be it, because I support Arsenal but I will not say a bad thing about him because he has delivered over the years and for that I am very much grateful for that.
Football is about passion and supporting your team through thick and thin. If you can’t do that then you are fans of the wrong game.
In Arsene we trust!
The board need to sign him up for another 4 years. There are NO other managers available that are remotely close to Wengers stature.
Who would replace him, some useless cunt like Benitez or Eriksson that have no charms, or managing clue except to spend money like crazy?
Wenger is and will in any foreseeable future our best option. Sign him up!
Sadly I think the days are numbered for Arsene unless he lands a trophy this season and has a revival as did Ferguson.
I would love to see him stay at the club in an upstairs management capacity unless he still influences the ‘dont spend any money’ attitude that is holding us back.
The current squad could win the PL this season with the addition of a world class goalkeeper and a monster CB alongside Vermaelen. This is such a small amount of expenditure in the overall picture I cannot believe that the right steps are not being taken. However I dont think any of us really know if it is Wenger or the Board. If it is the Directors closing the purse strings, then it wouldn’t matter who was team manager – we are not moving on and up in spite of being so financially secure.
I have always hoped that Wenger would carry on until Dennis Bergkamp was a fully qualified coach to take over from him. I think Dennis would have the right attitude to build on the great footballing club we have now
Cesc staying is the first step towards future glory.
Guardiola will become Arsenal’s manager next summer. He has only signed a one-year extension to his contract at Barcelona.
He has said he wants to manage in the Premier League. Arsenal is the most like Barca of all English clubs.
guardiola is Cesc’s personal idol.
Arsene is whatever any moaners say one of the best managers of all time and has transformed Arsenal from a regular mid-table team into a very sucessful wealthy and internationally respected club. He may become Director of Football or maybe take on the poisoned chalice that is the France job.
I want him to stay first of all he needs to prove his progam of youth will work! Then notice he is not a flash Harry(No pun intended)He is a quiet shrewd operator as prove most(not all) of his signings. He has work thru the Fabregas thing very well and FAb is still here.He never came down to BArca gutter level always quietly remainded above the fray!! Give him some credit. he is steady underpressue which makes me think he will come thru “big time” soon THIS YEAR?
