Life After Emery Begins

[Tumblin'Dice]

We are run like those banks during the financial crisis who thought they were too big to fail.

We are not too big to fail.

 

[GDeep™]

We were still a well regarded football team, even during the banter years.

Now we're drifting into irrelevancy, Milan without the Champions league memories.

We’re just going back to our average 6-8 league position before Wenger.

Why doesn’t nobody talk about that? Our average league position before Wenger was 6-8. During his years here it became 2-4.

Are you h1dIng some kInd if messag3 wIth your strange choIce of LLetters here?

People talking about wanting their Arsenal back as if even in Wenger's worst period it was still better than the majority of our entire history.

 

[say yes]

No we weren’t. We were an absolute laughing stock under Wenger towards the end. Humiliated year on year by the big teams / in the CL and somehow lost the easiest title in history to Leicester.

Our first managerial appointment didn’t work out, but that doesn’t change the past. Wenger wasn’t good enough. Emery wasn’t good enough. There’s a very good chance the next manager won’t be good enough. The reality is that finding the right manager is hard at this level. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try however.

It was time for Wenger to go, but it's been a **** show since he has and a lot of poor decisions seem to have been made.

[say yes]

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Wenger has a bad 6 months and people act like the current state is his fault. No shame at all.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Was time for Wenger to leave but also he would have had us in a better place than we are now if he had stayed. That's how badly the club has done here.

A "laughing stock" in the sense that we had glaring weaknesses, came close but could never get over the line.

Now we're a laughing stock in the sense of being seen as a fringe top team in our own league, if that.

We are in free fall.

No leadership, no direction, no identity.

There’s literally no evidence for that but ok.

Tbf I think everyone knows what's happening right now with the team is on Emery. Most of these are his players now, and he couldn't get the best out of them.

How much responsibility Wenger has for letting the club drift, and not taking advantage of the strong position they were in the summer of 2015 is a separate issue.

Nothing other than his entire Arsenal career.

And would really like to one day know how much of that was down to Wenger and how much down to the people above.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Saw say yes was commenting here and guessed he was attacking Wenger somehow like he does all the time these days. Opened the thread and of course he was.

His book is dropping in the autumn of 2020.

 

[say yes]

Wenger is like the captain who crashed the titanic into an iceberg.

People now want him back because the new captain hasn’t managed to stop us sinking, and, if you ignore the cataclysmic negligence that led to the crash, the start of the journey was actually quite pleasant.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Don't think anyone has said Wenger should come back

 

[Garrincha]

Doubt Wenger would want to come back for this lot of wasters on the pitch, rats in the boardoom & the fans that turned.
