Actually I'm pretty certain Wenger would have gone had he not won the cup final vs Hull.

So to extend that do you think he will go if we fail to win the cup this year?Originally Posted by Monty92
He will go if we fail to get in the top four. That is our relegation.
I shall light a candle.

Probably would improve our chance of winning in the league, ironically.
I doubt it. It would be terribly harsh, for failing to finish in the top four once in twenty-thousand years or whatever it is.
And anyway, I very much doubt He sees the thing that way. If we needed to return to the Champions League places, a "Wenger" working for another club would be high up on the list of candidates for the job, wouldn't he? Rather like the Sam Allardyce/relegation dilemma, innit.

*cough*
"Allardyce arrived with that well-worn label of “never being relegated from the Premier League” but in truth he has only rescued a few teams from impending relegation: Sunderland last year, Blackburn in 2008-09 and Bolton in their first couple of years in the division. 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.
Just like Wenger and finishing in the top four; if you're Liverpool, Everton or Spurs, you'd want a manager like Wenger.

I agree, but of his own free will.
The board were never going to push him. They still won't.
I don't think so. Nobody much cares about the FA Cup anyway, do they.
