Has been plenty in the media of late over the "short-sighted" Frenchman,s future and maybe after the 5-1 C/Lge defeat "our Vera" may well be about to be heard again ?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Wenger,wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Hope they stagnate after he leaves outside the CL places for many years to come, just for additional comedy value.

On his last warning
They'll be the first club on earth to sack a manager who they built a statue of.

He won't be sacked the club will leave any decision to stay or go to Wenger.
The club are happy with a top 4 finish and CL qualification.
The question probably is does Wenger have the desire to completely rebuild the squad and to a degree go against his current blueprint of technically good players but no effective ball winners or leaders.

well he hasnt done so for the past decade, so unlikely to start now. have alot of sympathy for him, he done as the board asked and kept spending down for so many years, but when they released the purse strings he failed to buy in key areas, and never improved physical stength and depth in the squad. too many great, skillfull players, without much sign of solidity.
predict he'll not renew the contract, make it easy on the club.

No, Ron Atkinson. At least he knows where the Arsenal dug out is. *
* Think about that one.
I don't think there could have been a greater fall from grace after many years of coaching a (American) football team (1966 to 2011) than that of Pennsylvania State Uni football coach, Joe Paterno. Paterno is the most victorious coach in NCAA history.His fall came after 55 years of being in charge when it was learned that he knew one of his assistant coaches, Jerry Sandusky, was a pedophile and was molesting children in the changing room at the Uni. Paterno covered up this fact along with the president of the Uni. Paterno's statue was removed during the next season.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Paterno
Paterno's abbreviated 2011 season was his 62nd on the Penn State coaching staff, which gave him the record for most seasons for any football coach at a single university.
"My name, I have spent my whole life trying to make that name mean something. And now it's gone."
—Joe Paterno, following his termination
Also in 2010, the Big Ten Conference established the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy as the annual trophy to be awarded to the winner of the conference football championship. However, on November 14, 2011, the trophy name was changed to the Stagg Championship Trophy in light of the Sandusky child abuse scandal.
Paterno was also nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. However, in light of the Sandusky child abuse scandal, United States Senators Pat Toomey and Bob Casey, Jr., as well as Representative Glenn Thompson withdrew their support of Paterno receiving the honor.

Wenger looked a broken man during the post-match interview last night. Thought he was going to cry. He'll go at the end of the season on his own terms, but he'll tell the board sometime soon so they can start lining up his replacement I reckon.

Arsenal's performance this season is likely to be similar to the last 10 seasons, nothing has changed much
Their failure has been mostly due to trying to run their club in a sustainable manner, you just aren't allowed to do this in English football

People say Wenger doesn't spend money but that is wrong. He's spunked £132million on the following dross: Ospina, Debuchy, Gabriel, Lucas Perez, Mustafi, Callum Chambers, Xhaka, Elneny.
The problem is that too many of his recent signings have been sub-standard. In prior years Arsenal have had enough quality to at least have a chance of winning the Prem and the Champions League but I think this might be the year they miss out on a Top 4 place altogether.
I think this is the tipping point for Wenger. The players don't seem to be responding to him like they used to, a lot of half-hearted performances over recent weeks.
