Arsène Wenger: Same Old Class

[sexpanther]

Hope he stays until he retires, he's the last of his kind, let's savour it.

Voted yes, eventhough I have no faith on him to win us trophies anymore. You dont want new managers for the sake of new managers. Any wrong managerial decision made will take us 3-4 years step back. We are not rich club like ManUtd, we are also not oil clubs like City and Chelsea. I dont think we can afford setbacks like ManU post-Fergie.

I'd give Wenger 2 more years because I think at that time there will be tactically astute managers available. And we should aim for that type of manager.
At the end of the day, I think managing Arsenal will be an attractive job for any top coaches, but it has to be at the right time. I have hope for Gazidis to make the right call.

Voted yes, I think it prudent because there are not too many proven managers free at this moment and maybe A successor could be a number two to Arsène for a period before He moves upstairs. I thought Wenger being Wenger(methodical) that would be an obvious turn of event.

Steve Bould anyone?

Would take your opinion more seriously with a different username.

Seems to be a lot of new members joining.

Hope @Gooner Zig, @Jury, @carlito'sway and I will get our cut of the website revenue for livening things up.

If we want to drive up the clicks we should tap up an ITK from Twitter.

This place would explode with new members if we had insider info.

I'd say ArsenalHorse is open to a move.

Get it done Gavidis.

@THunter has got that down already.

Do you take the opinion of @bowiecokemirror any more or less serious? No offence, bcm. I like Bowie and coke mirrors.

You spelt enlightening wrong.

Your whole post was very fair and I agree with it (apart from the two more years bit!), but this part is interesting. By '3-4 years back', what do do mean? What do you think we might stop achieving that we are currently not achieving right now, if we got a new manager? I ask this because many of those who want Wenger here until 2089 if possible, think he's already done all the work to make the handover as smooth as possible, as the club is in such good shape...

That's £2.50 each.

Good taste in movies and even better taste in managers

 

[say yes]

My yes is conditional upon Sanchez/Özil/Bellerin signing new contracts.

If the players aren't convinced on him I don't see why we should be.

Innovative, “invincible”, imperfect

I still think he should go.

I just have this view that his method is too reliant on the intelligence on the field to shift a game.
We see flashes of brilliance in games, or a full game when everything is coming off, but we see the play looking a bit clueless too many times.
We need more structure.

 

[goonerwarsh]

The two best managers that would have been superb choices for us have gone to other clubs in Liverpool and City. The guy at the club the other side of North London is a ****ing astute manager too. Given that none of those guys are available I'm not sure who else I'd really trust at the moment to take over the reigns.

I do however think Wenger is long past his best.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

think he's already done all the work

Yeah maybe that is the problem. He worked very hard. Being in the promised land is still very young. What 3 seasons we have now been able to spend in transfer window. The academy is very strong.

This is probably the the state of the club Wenger worked for and now he feels like he want to see how farther he can go as manager.

I really don't mind Wenger that much, he will go when he is done. Don't mind new manager either, but we need to be very very lucky. We are behind other top clubs in Europe, and our time of domination doesn't seem anywhere close, what ever we do.

You should take my opinions seriously 60% of the time.....every time.

ESPN just posted how bad Arsenal injuries have been over the last five years. Worst 'early season' record in the Prem.

Wonder who'll post 'that's no excuse' first. Wenger's done incredibly well to keep us top 4 with those stats

"Football is the most difficult game in the world because it is open and every situation is completely different and you have to make decisions minute by minute."

Uncanny that both Pep and Arsène have said this almost word for word in the last two weeks . Which is why I guess Arsène wants the players to learn how to think for themselves as much as possible .
