“I care about this club. Even if I leave one day, I will love this club until the last day of my life"
Show me another manager who's dedicated his life for 20 years to one club like Wenger has to Arsenal.
He lives and breathes Arsenal 24/7.
Are the criticisms valid - yes, of course. The last few years have been disappointing to say the least.
Is he past it? Perhaps.
But he'll sign a 2 year extension. So we as fans cant do anything but support a man who wants nothing more than to see this club succeed.

The reason it's been so long is mainly down to Wenger, the taxi just took him to the wrong part of North London when he arrived :wink:

Re: Arsene Wenger - For God's Sake.....
People give Arsenal fans cabernet for treating CL qualification as a trophy.
I never did. And I doubt most other Arsenal fans did either.
But its an achievement. And to do it for 20+ seasons in a row (especially during those years where we didn't have funds to buy big name players) was something else.
Liverpool are a huge club. How many times have they reached top 4 in recent years.
Look at Tottenham. Same thing.
Its hard to maintain that sort of consistency over that period of time.
Lets see how LFC and Spurs go now that the blowtorch is on them

Re: Arsene Wenger - For God's Sake.....
Reality is, top 4 is fool’s gold for squads like ours that are light years away from winning the Campions League, only winners are the shysters who own the shares. All things considered will settle for 5th being in the FA cup final and meeting the spuds & poo in the Europa cup next Feb. Time for a new direction is well overdue.

Re: Arsene Wenger - For God's Sake.....
Some word coming out of London re Wenger's contract
Seems the board are split about Wenger and the direction of the club. If one side of the board wins, Wenger stays. If the other side get their way (which apparently includes CEO I Gazidis), he goes.
Wenger wants to stay, but because of what’s going on at board level, he doesn’t know if they’ll renew his contract.
So it’s not Wenger holding out and not telling of his decision as initially thought – it’s the board who can’t make a decision.
And yet Wenger fronts up each week having to answer questions about his future and withholding information as to what’s really going on behind the scenes.
The delaying of this announcement has been handled so badly. We need to sack most of the board and get some fresh blood and football people involved.

Re: Arsene Wenger - For God's Sake.....
And hypothetically, if they choose not to renew Wenger, do they have a replacement lined up?
Absolute shambles how this season has turned out

Maybe that's why Big Sam just resigned, he's going to try to keep the Goons in the Premier League next season? :wink:maxin in the shade wrote:And hypothetically, if they choose not to renew Wenger, do they have a replacement lined up?

Re: Arsene Wenger - For God's Sake.....
It all started going wrong when David Dein left and unfortunately Gazidis is one of the biggest culprits in our current situation. Be interesting if kroenke did sell out to Usmanov, reckon he'd definitely be in it for the trophies.maxin in the shade wrote:Some word coming out of London re Wenger's contract

Why would he?
Arsenal provide a good return on his investment - and that's all the club is for him.
Arsenal must be one of the few sides where the two majority shareholders (Kroenke and Usmanov) are multi billionaires, yet don't put a single cent into the club
