It's quite an eye opener as to just how detached the board/owner actually are. Is there no point where they will actually step in and end this? We've always suspected this was the case with them. But, to see it actually play out like this is quite sad. What a state for a football club to get itself into.
It is difficult for us to do much worse than we are now. I mean, even Spurs managed to finish in the top six with a mess of a squad and Tim Sherwood in charge.
Even at this point, I dont see Wenger leaving before next summer. They wont sack him and he wont leave. If they let him sign another one then I think that is pretty much the end of us as any kind of force until we get a new owner.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Not really. A bad result at the start of a season in which we went on to finish in the top 4. They’ve kept him because he always got top 4. Last year he missed out on it by one point and won a cup. That coupled with the fact that if they got rid of him the new bloke would’ve had to come in and work with Wenger’s mates meant they kept him on. We now have Mislintat, Fahmy and whatever the Barca fella is called instead of Dick Law and Steve Rowley. We will also finish 15-20 points off top 4 and not win anything.
He’s gone.
