Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[AFC Leveller]

Koeman would be a decent replacement. I just love the way his teams play fearless football and are able to get wins away to big clubs. He has lost about 6/7 keys players over the last 2 years yet he still managed to produce good football and god performances, this season they are on a record points tally I think and that is mainly down to him.

Our board rely on Wenger too much though and will continue to back him until the day he dies. They don't care about titles and winning, that's obvious by now. Soon as he gets them their 4th place trophy they offer him a new deal. If wenger really cared about the club like he says then he should announce right now that he will leave in the summer of 2017 and give the club time to find a decent replacement. Apart from those managers already at big(ger) clubs, I cannot see anybody turning down the job.

This is not a new story, the deal taking Wenger up until 2019 has been doing the rounds for over six months

I am inclined to think it's probably true as it will take him up to his 70th year (he'd be 69 and seven months). We know that the club will never sack him and it's quite probably only Wenger himself who is stalling on the deal as he'd usually sign contract extensions with eighteen months still on the clock. And it was only 2014 that he let his contract run down.

In some ways it also indicates the board are getting fed up with Wenger and dangling a deal in front of him but saying well take it or leave it, sign by October or we will look for other options and banking on him to be reluctant to sign a contract extension.

Don't get me wrong Wenger has his flaws and is infuriating but it's also clear that the board have been happy to use him as a lightning rod, this is a bit of a craven act. If Wenger signs a contract the anger is with him for being out of touch with fans and if he doesn't sign they can look for a replacement without creating any conflict or bad feeling with Wenger.

Wenger on 2 year extension story - “That’s completely wrong, don’t know where it comes from. It’s an invention. Completely false”.

Remember when he went absolutely crazy with journalists three years ago over a similar thing, said the only reason the report was there was to do harm (or shit stir to paraphrase).

Actually felt Wenger was well within his rights to kick off that day, wanky journalists who play act that they are on the side of fans to sell their Columns in newspapers.

When you think of the school girl crush attitude they have with Mourinho, hanging on his every word, would love him even if he told them he'd been fellated by their wives.

Tim Payton seems convinced that next season is Wengers last, he's claiming that speaking to people The Board is not going to offer him a new contract no matter what.

I don't believe anything that comes out of the club. Not that I believe the media either. But one thing's for sure, if something is happening the fans will be the last to know.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Assuming that next season is his last, it's a tricky situation balancing making Wenger more of a lame duck than he already is against uniting the fans.

There is no doubt that an announcement that it was Wengers last season would change the atmosphere in the stadium but in a season where champions league qualification will be far more difficult than this season and I think it would be more important for us to finish in the top four next season than any other time if it is his last season.
