Jeremy Wilson in the Tele reporting that he will stay. He usually seems to get his Arsenal stuff right, I think.

Oh well, two more years of not really caring. Has its upside, I suppose. :shrug:

I still find it incredible that there are fans who actually want the bloke to stay. :shrug:

The Mirror, Guardian and Daily Mail were all running the same story as well so it's probably been handed down by someone in the club or on Wenger's side. I'm in the same boat as you, don't give a **** anymore. Won't bother watching a game until he ****s off. I might have to take an interest in Ice Hockey now :-(

I wonder whether this one year rumour thing has any legs in it?

It would show up the total ineptitude of this board that they have not put any succession plans in place and have gone begging cap in hand for Wenger to stay one more year so that they can start planning.

Of course, there are other way to interpret that scenario.

I think it's nonsense anyway. What planning needs to be done? The season is coming to an end and they've got between now and July to find a manager.

Not at all. There's no secrets in football. Not really. Nor anywhere else.

And Pulis is a fellow/brother manager; why shouldn't He be candid with him.

The contract is a McGuffin anyway. Clearly He could stay and work until, say, Christmas without one and it wouldn't make any difference to anything.

I suppose they just feel announcing it at the wrong moment would be asking for it.

I guess other clubs can find manager in a short space of time so why can't we? I get that but I doubt that it is that simple

You'd like to think he'd be allowed to see the season out, barring some kind of rabid fan meltdown. I'm sure none of us want to see him sacked.
It's a bit like that last season when GG lost the plot and we signed Kiwomya. We're in a much better position of course but those same seeds of stagnation are firmly bedded in.

I think Arsene probably feels as though he has a point to prove.

Let's just make the best of it, shall we? I know that funds, ex players and pundits are all calling for his resignation, but we should at least try to be pragmatic. Things will get better.

If he ****s Alexis, Ozil and Ox off then I think the speerit in the changing room will be much better.

The annoying thing is it feels like the goalposts are being moved. He always says judge me at the end of the season but you can bet your *******s that if we finish 6th and don't win the FA cup he'll still stay.

Great. We lose two of the only very good players we have and are left with ****s like Ramsey and Walcott.

Yeah but what is the point in keeping players with no interest in staying? Alexis is far too good for Arsenal anyway and I'm bored of his petulant arm waving (see also Ox). Iwobi may not be as good as Ozil yet, but at least he appears to care.

Les Habitants haven't really been that since Guy Lafleur retired, red. More Russkis than Quebecois nowadays, I think.

Used to be half the team had last names that began with 'Le' or 'La'. :-(

Yes, so I gather. It's only because my boys are big fans of Mordie Richler's stories.

Waiting for an upturn in form, perhaps? Dangerous game that.

Waiting for us to announce Dybala and Morata for 200 million quid the pair, imo.

No, there's no point doing any succession planning; it would be a waste of everybody's time. Today's football genius is tomorrow's dunce and a' that.

You just get whoever will agree to come to the club at the time.

Good point. It did seem to work for the Ozil signing. The Wenger Out brigade were all very happy for the 6 months after he signed.
