Wenger Leaving?

[ToxtethTerror]

Rumours going round on 5 Live that Wenger might be leaving this summer after disagreements with board member Danny Fitzman. Fitzman is apparently pissed off that experienced players don't get replaced properly and there are players at the club (Van Persie, Fabregas) who want to leave if they don't win anything thise season.

 

So long without a trophy and a soft center in his team was always going to come home to roost.

 

I wonder where he will end up... Man City?

I caught the report of the game before just as it finished.The whistling and not sure if it was booing at the end of the match was loud very loud from the fans.

 

I dont think his job there is as safe as it once was.

[RedKnight]

Sign him up, Raf... er never mind.

I think Wenger has got the look of someone who has taken Arsenal as far as he can.

[ToxtethTerror]

The fans booed the team off and you have to say they have a point - Pires, Viera, Henry etc have not been replaced. Even Gilberto, Flamini and Lehman haven't been replaced properly. Wenger should take the flak for that.

 

Would love to see a Van Persie/Torres partnership but we have Gerrard for that role.

Danny Fiszman only ever bought into Arsenal as an investment for his kids, and had little interest in football beforehand.

 

His family's background is/was in diamond dealing

 

Might have something to do with his shareholding multiplying in value beyond his wildest dreams and he is trying to engineer a way out by selling out to Usmanov or AN.Other and having a ready made excuse to hand.

 

As opposed to having to admit that he wants to take the money and run, as the price he would get now is potentially alot less than what he may get in the future.

 

I doubt very much that this will result in Wenger leaving, if there is any movement at all, it is far more likely it will result in Fiszman selling his stake.

 

He wouldn't be the first major shareholder at Arsenal to reduce or totally sell their shareholding in the last 12 months.

can't see this rumour lasting 24 hours even

 

Wenger loves that club, after all, they named it after him

 

Arsenal seem pretty good at keeping things in-house to me so wouldn't wipe my arse on a 5Live rumour

 

I can see them losing a few players this summer though, that I can believe

 

I reckon they'll let Fabregas go. Difficult to see how all these attacking players fit in and they'd get big money for Fabregas, although I don't think he's as good as other people seem to think. That lad Ramsey looks like a good prospect and they've got all sorts of others (Vela, Wilshere...) coming through

 

don't reckon there'd be too many tears shed down there if either Adebayor or vanPersie went either, so could be a few of Arsenal's bigger players off

 

I don't reckon they'd miss the egotistical twats that much and they'd do nicely out of it financially. They might well come back stronger next season, especially if he buys some decent defensive players

Arsenal are a bunch of fannies. Winger has been talking about his young prospects for ages - yeah bollocks. Deliver fuck-all at teh end of the season. Sure nice and pretty to watch.

 

FFS Arsehairshaver? Yes, brilliant, pretty, lovely, but they need a couple of hard cunts in thier squad (not thick cunts such as Ebouseless(

[Anubis]

The support on the forums has waned considerably this season. It wouldn't surprise me if he moves on.

I wish one summer we got the players Arsenal sign and Arsenal fans will wish they get the players we sign!

[ScottyT]

Can't see it, but if he did and there was a mass exodus, we should bid for Van Persie - fucking class that lad.

Mentalist.

[SpeedyG]

There's a lot of kids in that line-up that aren't yet ready for a title challenge. They haven't got a CM who can dominate a game and they haven't got a CH who can win the ball in the air. No wonder the fans are pissed.

[StevieH]

If we had 2 quality attacking full backs, then Van Persie and Walcott would fit perfectly into our system playing on the left and right hand side of the 3 behind Torres.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

Is he leaving because he wants more control over the youth team?

Will someone please rep him please as I need to spread the love about before it will let me.

 

I thought it was the youth team he managed anyway.

No wonder you're skint.

[philyhamann]

I don't know if thats a good thing or not. There have been conflicting reports about the amount of dough he has to spend, and whether or not he was just sticking with youngsters. It was obvious to everyone he needed 2/3 players, and while he had a talented bunch of players he had bought on the cheap, some of them just were not up to it. Didn't help that they never replaced Flamini either.

 

I've never considered Arsenal in the top tier of clubs, so I could see them falling away quickly if they sacked Wenger and didn't make a good choice with his replacement.

[Original202]

Sooner or later he's going to have to change his policy of building for the future. You can't keep building for tomorrow if tomorrow never comes.

 

This team of promising kids has had potential for 3 seasons and they haven't gone anywhere. By the time they all mature the team will have broken up and they'll be too far behind the rest anyway.

 

Him spending big on Arshavin has come too late. And he went in big on the wrong position too.

[ScottyT]

Villa are starting to look jaded now so Arsenal could still easily qualify for the CL. If they do his recent underachievment will again be overlooked and the youth policy will be justified by all and sundry.

[George Costanza]

Not sure where I read it but I think Wenger said when he leaves Arsenal it'll be most likely to take up the French National Coach. With the talent coming through there he'd be brilliant for them.

When you think how long and how much it took Ferguson to replace Keane, there has got to be question marks about a manager who lets Gilberto, Flamini and Diarra go all around the same time. Not only do they need someone to do that role, but they will waste Fabregas' talent by not having a proper partner for him.

[RobbieOR]

I'd love to see Walcott become a Liverpool player. He's a fan aswell. Would loved that me.

Everton have an easier run in, they could yet pip them. Do you think this Arsenal team has the balls for a tough run-in? I don't.
