We're going to get gubbed.
Poor Arsene. I expect his successor is already lined up for the summer and he has agreed to hold the fort and take the flak until the end of the season. :-(

Gattusso Can smell blood. He’s waiting to finish Arsene off.Quote:

He's just like anybody else; it's just work. It's not about success or failure, just work.Quote:

Also, curiosly Arsene suggested that his positions would be reviewed at the end of this season. That tells me that the board have a plan to do it this summer, so long as the preferred candidate is available and Sanhelli / Minsilant / Fahmy are all settled in nicely.
This is your opinion. You are not paid by the club to have an opinion so it’s best you keep it to yourself*Quote:

Dropping into the prem after all those years away from club management, would certainly count as a challenge. I think he'd get eaten alive. Plus, I don't really like him. A little too similar to AW. If we're going to change, let's do it properly.Quote:

Being stubborn and arrogant doesn't necessarily prevent you from seeing that it is not in your own interests to stay.Quote:

Work doesn't have to be about the money. My dear old dad is still working at 80 because he has nothing else in his life of sufficient challenge to keep him going, and fears what will happen if he stops. Perhaps if another club was making Arsene an offer there might be an escape route but presumably there are none at this point.Quote:

Fine. Just go and work somewhere else.Quote:
