The Capital One Cup

[Leyton388]

He only comes out on special occasions like this.

[-V-]

Arsene Wenger is usually around 50/1 on the sack race markets every season

He's down to 7/1 now and dropping. I know he won't go next because he makes the shareholders too much money but I can see the fans pushing him out in the summer

[Leyton388]

Arsenal will never sack him as he is the ultimate yes man too the board and constantly buys low and sells high. He is the perfect manager if you are trying to suck every penny out of the club with no pressure for a "war chest" from him.

He will still be there this time next season.

Time to pull this one out again

How much longer does Wenger have really? Coming on for 8 years without winning a single thing. Arsenal (and by that I mean Wenger, not the majority of the fans) have become content to finish 4th without actually challenging for any of the competitions they're in.

Most of the Arsenal fans I know have lost faith with him and want a change.

I only know a few but I think they want him to stay.

Personally I think they have bigger issues in the boardroom with them too concerned with the balance sheet than investing in the team.

That includes Wenger though.

He has to take some share of the blame no doubt and none of us know the real story but considering the board have been saying that they have millions to spend I can't believe that Wenger is that stupid to not spend big and keep his best players.

Look at those who have left in the last few years
Toure
Clichy
Adebayor
Fabregas
Nasri
RVP
and probably Walcott to go

Replaced with nowhere near the quality but the balance sheet shows record profits.

It's my belief, based on no evidence whatsoever, that both Ferguson and Wenger both have bonuses written into their contract based on how little they can spend each year. I'm convinced of it

Well the board keep saying how much money they have to spend and Wenger isn't exactly denying that. For me - he's shown that he struggles to sign decent players.

He inherited that legendary back four and since then has only signed one quality defender in Vermaelen. It took, what, seven years for Van Persie to come good and as soon as he does he ****s off? I think Wenger deserves a lot of credit for transforming Arsenal the way he has but his signing policy is comical at times.

If this is the model FSG are trying to follow then the future is bleak

Fair point, of all the clubs to model ourselves on, i'd much rather he'd said we intend to follow the Barca model.

Pretty sure the only aspect of Arsenal that we're interested in is how they bring in so much money.
