current contract, unless it meant missing out on a favoured replacement this summer. There is not one single credible argument for why he should go now, rather than next summer.
If our fans wanted to be taken seriously, they’d let him do that. But they are pig ignorant vermin.
PS: I'm a Knobmoomin, and Headgear has his powers back.
So what happens if we finish 5th... you have said he should leave then, so isn't that one good reason anymore?Quote:

I'm very much a AKB, in Twitter parlance, but even I can see we may as well bite the bullet and move on.
That would be a reason, but if we win tonight we're third and yet finishing third will change the minds of no-one who wants him out this summer.Quote:

The only reason other than finishing outside the top 4 might be that he feels that it is in the best interests of the club or himself, his health etc to go now rather than next year :shrug:
Of course, he has already stated that he is staying so that would be purely hypothetical.
So apart from all the reasons listed there isn't 1 good reason to not let him see out his contractQuote:

Yeah, and the yoofs/reserves/returning injured players all getting a run out in the UEFA too.

If he's only got 1 season left is he going to change anything in the summer? probably not.
Well,the other way to look at it is that he deserves another year.For 10 years he kept us up there when he didn't have a spare talent for an old ex-leper.Give him another dig at it when he has a few quids to spendQuote:

Hard to find any excuses for the performance during the second half of the season though. It all makes me very sad, especially the venom with which people are objecting. No sense of proportion.
Oh Monty, the day AW leaves the club he'll be dragging you along the pavement by his leg. I don't know who repeats themselves more, you or Arsene?Quote:

after hull is when he should have gone , on a high , people would have largely forgotten the **** years before that and remembered him for the good times
and then he had another chance after villa, but no, greed/stubborness have proved his achilles heel sadly
it really didnt have to end this way and despite my views on him now, tonight will be a real shame for him :(
Would it not be better to look to appoint someone next year? I mean, we could get everything in place for a managed transition, perhaps not spend so much this year to build up a war chest, and concentrate on getting the right man.
Even Jeremy Corbyn is now bantering us off about our injury record. :-(Quote:

Can you imagine; Wenger 2-0 down to Swindon Town in the Cup and the crowd demanding the new man (Tim Sherwood) take over right now
:-(
Do you honestly think it's greed? And not because he thought he could win the title? I really hope not...Quote:

I just dont get the idea it's greed, is it that people dont understand anybody having beliefs any more?
This. As they say on the internets.Quote:

I do think he's increasingly a Hai Karate man in a Lynx Africa world.
Wenger out!
Next summer.
