You and I both know that nobody would really buy the story but ultimately he would not break his contract which he always loves to remind us about. He won’t be technically sacked so that is the best the old man can salvage from the current mess. Forget this nonsense about winning the EL and getting back into the big one, that is not happening.
What’s the alternative, keep him through next season and watch as the media steam into him and the club on the back of every bad result. Gary Neville taunting the players, Thierry Henry putting his hand up to take his job and each day another ex-player queuing up to have a pop.
Just makes no sense for either party.
We are now simply reaping the result of a very poor management decision last summer. The Emirates could be an unpleasant place to be if City hand us our arse on Thursday night.
‘If’? Never took you for the hopeless optimist type, sw. We will get dicked by City on Thursday for the simple reason that we are dogshít and they are not.
In Wenger’s case, of course, decent chap would have done the decent thing and resigned by now. But what can one expect if one hires foreigners, I suppose?
2014 was the right time to leave. We won the cup, the trophy "drought" was over and in his heart of hearts, Wenger probably knew he was not going to win the league. His reputation was in tact and he could have gone to most clubs.
Fast forward almost 4 years. We are no longer in the CL and falling further behind in the league. We had a season where we finished behind Leicester. Wenger has spent money but we seem to look a lot worse than we have ever done under Wenger and the results are bearing that out. Was there any real footballing reason for us to keep him past last summer? The only reason for Wenger to want to stay was that he had no better options
