Otherwise, we'll continue to see the same issues, and end up with Eddie Howe as manager. That will be Wenger's last 'gotcha' moment.
You cant hire on as wenger would never allow it.
Was just about to sat that.
You'd need to get passed Wenger first and Wenger answers to no one and makes sure of it.
How he can have such an ego when he's not won a major trophy for practically a decade is beyond me, at any other top 4 club he'd of been fired.
Wenger won a huge battle in the summer when negotiating for a new deal. Part of the board wanted changes and even wanted to force him to do certain things. He flat out refused and got his way
As long as Wonga makes money for the board he can do no wrong, we are a business not a football club as far as they are concerned and the fans are an after thought.
This is exactly the point, our objectives as fans are of no concern to them as long as the cash keeps rolling in.
Wenger is there to keep things going but he is under no obligation to win anything so he can keep making the same excuses over and over again.
After years of the same I am convinced Wenger doesn't have what it takes to manage a football club, I even question he had it even before when we had people like David Dein handling some of his current responsibilities.
Wenger doesn't really care about football, he doesn't really love the sport, no one that really loves football would have stayed for so long without making an effort to bring the club he claims to love back to greatness.
Wenger is an accountant, plain and simple and this will not change until we have an owner that cares about what fans care about, it could take years or a miracle for this to change.
