Wenger To Return?

[Tosker]

I suspect the story was always about Arsène returning to the Emirates as a bronze statue, and someone somewhere misunderstood

Global ambassador or head scout or another role that doesnt involve decision him being actively involved in decision making. He cannot have a financial role in the club. He is too financially conservative

Wowee. How insightful of you.
You must have read my mind, NOT.
I only mentioned his transfer dealings.

There are quite a few signs why a post or poster generally isn't worth alot of effort.

Extremely narrow focus during a broader discussion and more tellingly, those you think ending a statement in 'NOT' is some kind of cutting comeback.

 

[Nom de Plume]

Next time a club spending 5th in the league comes top, let me know and I'll change my view.

Unless you want to wait a 140 years like Leicester did.

And there you have it.
I was brought up on footy that was a working man's release on a Saturday afternoon.
Spending and blah, blah ain't my thing.
Blame it on the current owner

Man, you don't need to blame anybody, just take a moment to understand how football works today. It's not rocket science.You can do it.

No thanks.

 

[El Duderino]

Can't have him as CEO, as much as I'd like it to happen. Puts too much pressure on the manager and Wenger would never sack someone he has trust in.

It will be an ambassadorial role or board role at best, which are pretty much the same thing now the club is private.

 

[PressResistance]

I'd love him in a consultant/Chief of Vision type of non-existent role.

His take on attacking play is probably one of the most sublime ever.

 

[Macho]

Whilst it’s probably right he was moved on (his successor has been botched imo) it’s a shame he’s not involved with the club like Fergie is.

Embarrassing actually. Where’s his statue?
In any case I’d take him on board in any capacity he’d be comfortable with, but I think he’s fulfilled with his FIFA role atm.

I also think he’d get back into full time management if the right project came.

@GDeep™ mentioned it in reference to Maradona, but I hope we don't wait until after he's passed to name the stadium after him. We all know it'll eventually happen, it's something that seems pretty inevitable.

 

[Rex Stone]

Bring our Cruyff home.

 

[squallman]

Make him the DoF. That way at least we'll have someone at the executive level who gives a damn about the club

 

[Pop Tart]

Only In statue form. Let's move on from him.

 

[SA Gunner]

I'd have him back provided he helps us set up a proper footballing structure at the top, with proper football appointments, and then retires in peace in a year or two.

Wenger knows how to build a club, knows what it needs and knows that he needs to properly equip the club to deal with the space he has left behind.

Again, that is the dream, but do you think he would sack Arteta if it got real bad? He's loyal to a fault, Wenger is, goes so far as to admit it.

I think he would hang on to a lot of people like the Gerry Paytons of the world, who needed to be moved and upgraded on.

Fair point, his loyalty and romanticism may hinder our actual need to move on and put together a proper footballing structure.

Do you really think we'll do that? These days with naming rights etc?

Perhaps a stand?

It's one of those where I think it'll have to happen eventually. What he's done for this club and the fact he played such an important role in the building of the stadium. If Maradona and Cruyff have stadiums named after them for Napoli and Ajax, then I'd say Wenger would have to have it here. I'm sure something can be worked out, I think the demand for it would dictate it'd have to happen. Tho it's more likely after he's passed.
