"It is annoying but we had a spell during the season that was difficult and it was difficult for me in my personal situation. We were playing in a hostile environment. The players came back stronger in the last two months and I'm very proud of them for doing that."

I see he's celebrating a 'decent' points total of 75. He hasn't mananged to get above 80 pts in the league in 9 years. No title has been won with less than 80 pts since Man Utd on 79pts in 1999. Most of the time you need to be at least mid 80's or even early 90's to be champions. Leicester's total of 81 was the lowest winning total since 1999, and Wenger was 10 pts behind.
He's finished as a title winning manager. Move on Arsenal.
Not so sure. I think he should have moved upstairs but I am certain we will not win league or CL with Kronke. That's why it is time to start hitting the Arsenal pocket. That's the only thing that will make him sell.
It's taken years for the Arsenal fans to reach this point. Wenger often says he wishes Arsenal fans were more passionate like Liverpool.
Those passionate Liverpool fans would've hounded him out of the job several years ago. He would've never survived that 8-2 at Man Utd. In Italy or Spain he would've been chased down the road years ago.
Read an interesting post on reddit....
He's referring to Ivan.
Apparently Ivan had a chat with the all of the players earlier in the season to find out if they would be open to a new manager and this split the squad with Ozil and Alexis declaring publically that they would only stay if Wenger did so as well.
Other players were open to it.
Wenger and Ivan have been at war ever since...performances on the pitch deteriorate rapidly, Ivan withdraws his contract offer, Wenger fires back with telling the media that a director of football role is BS etc etc
When the board meet up a lot will be discussed...will they side with Ivan or Wenger? Will the two have to make an uncomfortable truce for the sake of the club?
Makes a bit of sense when you think about it.....personally wouldn't mind all 3 (ivan, wenger and kronke p issing off) but with Stan having the final say then Ivan might be the one to leave.
