    All of us should have year end appraisals, you know.
    If only there could be an objective scoring system applied so we would know whether the manager was improving, maintaining or declining in performance . . .

    To walk away now, which I think he should, is to more or less admit he cannot see himself as capable of arresting whatever is wrong at the club and recent form does suggest there is issues, recent form and some would say repeated errors year on year.

    Then having come clean and admitted the above he really is a busted flush. What top club does he go to next, will there be a queue of suitors as there would have been in the past. I am unconvinced the really big teams in Europe will want him as he is seen to have failed in his job in N5 over a lengthy period of time.
    I would qualify that slightly, SW.

    A manager should ignore the fans' view when it comes to managing the football club. His decisions should be taken solely based on what he thinks is best for the club and the team.

    However, when it comes to whether he should stay or go, the fans' view is very important. The most important factor, I think you could argue.

    Well He has already said that the opinion of the fans will be important when it comes to making up his mind.

    Wd Arsene imo.

    Part of the problem is Ivan saying a while back that the fans would decide. That is very literally inviting protest against Arsene. How is the 'opinion of the fans' measured anyway? Twitter? AWIMB? Aeroplanes? "We want to go!" songs? Muggy banners?

    I imagine the only KPI Stan cares about is the share price.

    The bottom line? Perhaps our majority shareholder couldn't actually give a stuff about the FA Cup

    Mourinho had won a league title just 6 months or whatever before being sacked and let’s remember had also won 2 Champions Leagues, in essence one season of falling below standards was not enough to really damage his legacy.

    I am not convinced AW, a deeply respected man of course, is still on that very top shelf as he heads towards retirement.
    Foreigners though, no sentiment. They hire any old **** over there. But it doesn't much matter because they fire whoever it is just as easily.

    I wonder whether the PSG job will be open to him this summer?

    That still leaves room for a hundert million pound striker though, doesn't it #wengerIN

    I doubt they fancy playing Bayern or Barcelona every week any more than we do, to be honest.
