Hope Wenger is spending every second looking for dirt on Kroenke.
New 2 year contract needed.

Ultimately that some people even think this was a resignation is a testament to the class that both sides have shown.
Nothing was leaked beforehand and no shots have been fired off by either party. The departure was never going to be easy (don't even have the heart to watch Wenger's interviews at the moment) but at least Wenger is being allowed to bow out on his own terms; hopefully with the magnificent send-off he deserves.
Easier said that done when you consider how almost every other managerial departure in this league has gone down.

I really couldn't care less whether he wanted to leave or was politely asked to leave in order to avoid his sacking - it doesn't make a difference.
If the Board acted, fine, if Wenger acted on his own, fair enough. By the sounds of it, it maybe was the former but then it could have gone much worse than it panned out. The club handled it well.

Was just taking the piss buddy. Been some special posting on these parts over the last couple of days.
Agree completely with you - was asked / told to leave. No two ways about it. Not that, as @redwhiteAustrian points out, it really matters.

Knew it was time for him to go, but the idea of him being ' asked to leave/sacked ' doesn't sit well with me.

I think everyone was prepared for him to walk next season. I think that's what hit both camps the most. Even the Wenger out lot were not ready for him to leave this soon.Knew it was time for him to go, but the idea of him being ' asked to leave/sacked ' doesn't sit well with me.

Gazidis loser of highest order. Only took him year to man up to sack Wenger. But maybe it was plan all along, Wenger takes the blame for this season, and new manager for next 2-3 seasons. By then Gazidis will have suck enough money out of the club that he doesn't care when the fans finally hunt him out of the club.
Btw I don't really believe Wenger was sacked. But I do believe Gazidis is a loser in every possible scenario. Can't wait until he will be let go so he can't hurt the team anymore.

Were making progress atleast, soon we will all realise in unison that the board is what's to blame.

Once again, he puts the club first.
I really want to see AFTV die off and DT and his lot dissapear into obscurity.
But we all know this routine will continue. They feel they have the power now.

What are you smoking? The board put the club first after the fans reacted to dogsh!t results. Normal stuff that happens at normal football clubs all around the world. The club needed the airing, because it ****ing STANK!!
If he really was putting the club first, which is absolutely is not, then he'd waver his £11m severance pay for very very politely being told to go down the road.

That statement released by the club when Wenger was given the two year extension rings true now. There were conditions and a target, and they were not met.
Credit where it's due. He was lucky to get that extension and this season was the nail in the coffin.

I also find it hilarious how so many AKB's used to argue 'why are fans still turning up then? If you want Wenger out, don't turn up'...
Well guess what? And now the anger

I won't go as far as saying he was sacked, but he was pushed pretty hard to walk. All the mechanics are there........
Ivan's "catalyst for change" which I assume was the pivot point from the hierarchy.
Poor planning in transfer window
Poor form
Fans unrest
Out of cups early
Falling to 7th
Player contact difficulties
Fans apathy
Empty stadiums
Dire play on the field
No signs of any improvement.
Affecting the clubs perceived greatness all around the globe.
I have been in the wob for I think the last 5 years, nothing nasty or personal.
I wanted us to slip and lose because it was the only way I felt the powers that be would make change, change, unfortunately for AW, that did not include him.
Now I can celebrate AW the way it should be, I just wish it had been done sooner.
For the first time in years I'm feeling more excitement for the future. Win, loss or draw.

Not ready? Nah, we were ready.
Shocked? Yes. But we'd have been shocked when he eventually left, period.

We've all heard a mate say his relationship ended mutually, however the **** that's meant to actually happen! The theory is wonderful, but the reality is far more brutal. Time usually reveals all
Genuinely dismayed by and uncomfortable with a lot of the Arsenal fan base right now. I'm uncomfortable identifying with fellow supporters who can't even bring themselves to acknowledge and respect the service and achievements of someone who is our greatest ever manager. I know every fanbase is a bit of a c*nt salad, but i'm really not fond of ours right now.
Brian Clough f*cking relegated Forest in his final season. He is rightly considered one of the best ever, was his legacy tarnished by that? Do Forest fans still hold a bitter grudge against him? No, he's revered. And yet there are Arsenal fans who can't bring themselves to simply take a step back and thank the man who has given 22 years of his life to our club. I firmly believe the vast majority of Arsenal fans worldwide are immensely grateful to Wenger, and yet we've come across looking like heartless, ungrateful arsewipes.
Long story short, Claude can f*ck right off and while we're at it, Robbie can f*ck right off too. Sick of his "we just give a voice to fans" line, it's utter bollocks. He needs to stop playing innocent, he's the editor of an influential media organisation and he overwhelming gives a voice to total c*ntbuckets purely for ratings. Just because he came from an amateur background doesn't absolve him of professional responsibility.

Claude is a *****. I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but the guy can barely string a sentence together. Robbie is a money-oriented ignoramus whose sole interest at this point is to generate those YouTube views for himself. I don't trust or care for AFTV. I think every Arsenal fan would be better off blocking it out and leave it for other clubs' supporters to watch.
