You've made one good point in two very long rubbish ranty posts. I too would hate to see Mourinho at our club... But Wenger needs to go and needs to go very very soon before he drags us down any further. Appreciate what he's done...But it's time to blah blah blah.

I just hope against hope that team begins to play close to its potential. Such a disappointing season but without that hope not much point watching.

It's called being realistic. If you want people to show more for their club then demand more from the millionaires inside it instead of the ordinary supporters outside it who have been broken up from enduring the annual calamity

I see some reports today about a potential director of football. Sounds like a bs PR stunt. Can't for the life of me see how a dof would address the on pitch issues. Would only be another Wenger yes man too. No thanks.

My biggest reason to want rid of Wenger is his reluctance to set the team up right and lack of motivation for the players. No DOF is going to fix that.

Wenger out

Arsenal looking for a sporting director it seems.

Interesting enough

This is always the first arguement of someone who has no arguement...To call them out as a non-fan. I'm being realistic. This team has shown nothing to suggest we have the beating of top 6 sides... Nothing. I hope I'm proved wrong.

He gave years preaching the gospel about how he would never work under a director of football. What has suddenly changed? :rolleyes:

To placate the fans when the board announce 2 more years for Wenger?

I really hope they don't. Unfair on the club, the players, the fans and Wenger himself allowing him to sink further and further from the great manager he was.

jonneymendoza · 14-03-2017 10:45am

hi all .
would u lot be happy if wenger says he will sign a new 2 year deal but it will be his last deal?

That would give the board time to find a proper replacement and gvie us some closures on wenger in wenger out arguments and we can all just get behind the team for the next 2 years?

Reality here is that if Wenger goes, its the board that will appoint a new manager. Much as we've been touted with signing world class players & ended up with the likes of Perez, Mustafi, Xhaka etc, we're being touted with Max Alegri and could well end up with the likes of Eddie Howe.

1 year max and I still wouldn't be happy. 2 years is far more than is needed to get a new replacement. I personally think a replacement could be found in the Summer if the board started looking now, Klopp and Conte were got in that sort of time frame.

They can't start looking now because Wenger the egomaniac is stringing them along.

Word is a decision will be made in two weeks. Hoping against all the odds it's the right one.

callaway92 · 14-03-2017 12:19pm

Hmmm. Juventus share price taking a hit today and I can see a lot of people selling their holdings (shares) in the club here in work.

Maybe inside they know Allegri is on the way out.

Finance - It's just a curiosity more than anything else really that it could be the case. It could be any reason really why share price is going down to be honest. It's always interesting though seeing shrewd investors sell their holdings in companys I know. There must be something going on anyway if they're down a couple of percent already today.

Nope I'd have him gone now if I could, to be honest I wanted him gone for years. We're a big club, we can get a top manager seen as we paid Wenger's failure's for years with a 8 million a year contract. Pay that money to a ambitious manager wanting to win everything.

I just can't go through more years of been looked down as failures and watching us fall behind the likes of Chelsea, just breaks the heart.

MonsterCookie · 14-03-2017 4:19pm

Can't help think the sporting director role could be for arsene to move upstairs while a manager comes in to run the team.

Would be difficult for someone to come in and fill his shoes whether he stays or not.

Have mixed feelings about the prospect.

wawaman · 14-03-2017 5:01pm

Reports that Boro Primorac is leaving in the summer to take a job in Turkey. Could be interpreted 2 ways if true.

He's been around Wenger forever. Not sure what he actually contributes mind you. Funny, never heard much about him or from him over the years either.

Leicester beating Sevilla 2-0 I see. Even as bad as their season has gone they showed up and took the game to Sevilla. Our bunch of weak cowardly sh1thead players couldnt even be bothered to make an effort.

This would be a ludicrous situation but it wouldnt surprise me if this did happen. It would be ironic if the man who refused to work under a director would suddenly be a director for a new manager

Yup. First thing I thought when I saw Leicester were beating Sevilla was to come on here and have a go at Arsenal. Gutted you beat me to it.

No connection true, but I appreciate the fact the Leicester board recognised that the man who lead them to an unprecedented league Premier League Championship last year was the same man who had lost his way this season with them verging on relegation and made the appropriate change.

Whats happened since is very impressive. The difference being that the Leicester players knew changes had to be make and went over the managers head and made the board aware of how drastically things had gone bad. That took courage.

And that's what Arsene's Arsenal lack. Courage.

omega man · 14-03-2017 10:47pm

Couldn't make it up, Leicester win the league then sack their manager the following season and still reach a CL QF. Sorry but I can't help but feel this makes us even more of a cluster fcuk of a club.

They are in the same league and in the same european competition. They went down fighting but Arsenal took the chicken route. Fúck the fans

wawaman · 14-03-2017 11:08pm

So i assume you are using the same criteria to criticise Liverpool and Utd?

Tbh I think the Leicester players have behaved disgracefully and their sudden surge puts them in a further bad light.

It's unfortunate that Raneiri fell on the sword for it but that's the nature of the beast except for one certain club where it's always groundhog day

Looks like Leicester's owners want to win things...Ours want a nice big fat bank balance. Not entirely true...But that's how I feel about Arsenal at the moment. Profits before trophy's.

You're right, it's not entirely true. It's 100% untrue. Leicester's owners didn't want to get relegated from the Premier League, and that's 100% about their big fat bank balance.

That's why I said it with tongue in cheek...

Maybe we should try and get relegated.

That's also tongue in cheek.

Let me know if you're keeping up.

You are spot in regards to the sudden surge but we all know they lost faith in the manager, as for the reasons why I don't know but lets assume there were times when the players and management got together and tried to solve whatever issues there were.

I'm only assuming this, but the reason the players gave up on him was because he wasn't willing to resolve whatever the issue was so they went to the Board. Got the issue sorted and now they are improving.

As we talk about them they are just 3 points ahead of 18th. Far from safe. I'd rather be 5th tbh :pac:

omega man · 15-03-2017 11:04pm

Leicester only English team in CL last 8, crazy. Is the Premier league way overrated?

FA cup last chance for City. Sounds familiar......

domrush · 15-03-2017 11:10pm

Could do worse than Leonardo Jardim lads... 8 goals over two legs against City, most goals scored in Europes top leagues.

northknife · 15-03-2017 11:21pm

Seems like there are at least three guys on the Man City forum calling for the head of Guardiola after tonights shambolic display...

I think they are the Gemini Man, tipp_Cityfan and the Honey Monster.

domrush · 15-03-2017 11:39pm

From Twitter: "Wenger is allegedly seen as an outdated coach. Guardiola the revolutionary is using Wenger's **** fullbacks from 10 years ago" :P :pac:
