Yet Wenger clings on to his job at a much bigger club 13 years since a Premier League title and having gone out of the Champions' League at the last 16 stage in each of the last 6 years (it will be 7 next week).
Football isn't worth a candle now.
Dele Ali gone now :redcard: Spurs are doing a Spurs tonightQuote:

to be fair...they were pretty lucky with that group they got in the CL.
and they haven't scored a league goal this year.
Can't wait for young Kasper as our new No1
-
They cannot sack an entire squad of first team players yet have to try and do something to arrest what looks like a steady decline into division 2.
As ridiculous as it appears, and it is wrong, it is what the club perhaps had to do.
makes you think how important Kante was as their heartbeat and midfield enforcer...they just seemed to have flat lined and have no fight with him gone.
but the lad has put up some astonishing performances for Chelsea.
They are not comparable.
A league title then relegation is rank failure.
Top 4 and a couple of cups, while not success, is far from rank failure.
Had wenger won the league in the last ten years and then took us to the brink of relegation the following season, he'd have lost his job too.
It is wenger'a consisteny in keeping us ok the top 4 and winning a couple of cups that has kept him in his job.
Leicester just stayed up 2 yrs ago... if they had done the smae last season and been where they are now there is every chance he would have kept his jobQuote:

Or to state it another way - it is the board's and the owner's focus on the club's finances while completely disregarding the importance of trophies to the club's fan base which has allowed Wenger to keep his job.Quote:

So to extend that do you think he will go if we fail to win the cup this year?Quote:

In almost 20 years of Premier League management, the majority of his clubs have been comfortably mid-table and not under imminent threat of going down.

His reputation as the Red Adair of the Premier League is based on a few rescues rather than a long history. "
Yeah, the point is that, if Big Sam is your manager and yet, despite this, your club is in relegation trouble, there's no point sacking him because he himself would be exactly the man you would be looking for to get you back on track.Quote:
