How are we going to get them out though? Some Liverpool style sh*t?

Half our fans want Wenger out and the other half make excuses for Wenger (some valid) but hardly any of them going at the board. You would think the people backing Wenger would be anti- board but they aint or at least not showing it.

EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal set to smash wage cap to keep RVP - and attract new star signings

By Steve Stammers

Arsenal will scrap their wage cap in a bid to keep their best players and attract stellar signings.

The current limit is about £100,000 a week.

But amid the fall-out from their ­disastrous 4-0 Champions League defeat at AC Milan there is an acceptance among the Gunners hierarchy that there must be a major change of direction.

The board believe there are ­extensive funds available for ­manager Arsene Wenger’s transfer ­targets.

But Arsenal have found to their cost in recent times that the lure of sky-high wages offered by the likes of Manchester City can tempt ­talented young players to leave. Last summer, they lost France ­midfielder Samir Nasri to City where he is earning a ­reported £200,000 a week.

Old school Arsenal had no chance of matching that and so Nasri left.

Now Wenger is to be given the green light to spend big – and pay big. The first ­beneficiary of any new policy is set to be in-form striker Robin van Persie.

The Dutch star has one year left on his current deal and Wenger should now be able to offer him the chance to almost double his wages as well as push for transfer targets like Edin ­Hazard of Lille and Mario Goetze of Borussia Dortmund in the summer. The club’s finances have never been healthier and there is a sizeable war chest at Wenger’s disposal.

But wages have always been a stumbling block and that barrier is now set to be dismantled.

The ‘cash is king’ approach has been evident in recent years – first at Chelsea, then at Manchester City and more ­recently at Paris St Germain who have been spending ­fortunes on transfer fees and salaries under former Chelsea ­manager Carlo ­Ancelotti.

And at PSG, the myth has been blown apart about ­participation in Champions League football being ­essential to attract the best.

Now, at last, Arsenal are set to join to the big league. Their current wage bill is among the highest in the country but that is because Wenger insists that all squad players earn comparable sums.

But because of the wage limits, he has not been able to pay the £150,000 a-week plus deals on offer at other clubs.

He competed with Manchester United for Phil Jones, Ashley Young and Chris Smalling.

But the pay on offer at Old Trafford was a major factor in the trio going to join Sir Alex Ferguson’s young squad.

Without the wage restrictions, Wenger will at least be able to ­compete on a level playing field with the other big hitters after seasons of bargain hunting during the transfer windows.

Surely that line been used

negged for even posting that

[TF S4DK]

I wouldnt have but it was Steve Stammers...

[MF Cunt]

i dont know who that is

tf drop some more info if this is truly, verified

[TF S4DK]

Steve Stammers is an Arsenal supporter, now that he just works on the Sunday paper, his stories tend to be based on some more fact unlike John Cross, who does the daily's and can often "sell papers".

Stammers old so he was probably briefed by the board who know it might be an Arsene or them ting, so they firing their PR early.

[MF Cunt]

hmm espn now reporting

i swear that old fart Hill-wood, uses the daily star as his media outlet

i dont know what to believe,

media were saying we were gonna break our wage structure to keep Samir Cuntri

[TF S4DK]

Arsene Wenger has been assured his job is safe for another TWO YEARS.

Under-pressure Wenger still has the full support of the Arsenal hierarchy even though the club’s exit from the FA Cup means this season will be seven without a trophy.

But Wenger, whose contract expires in 2014, is still hopeful of finishing in the Champions League places and the board will back him even if he does not.

An Arsenal source said: “We are committed to Arsene and we expect him to see out his contract.”

The only danger to Wenger remaining in charge is whether he walks away at the end of the season as he has already warned he would consider his future if he felt he could not take the club any further.

But Arsenal’s US majority shareholder Stan Kroenke and the rest of the board believe he will stay and the club will give him major funds this summer to rebuild.

Arsenal are legally obliged to release their financial figures by the end of February and they are expected to reveal profits of £50m-plus later this week.

The £50m will be available to Wenger to rebuild this summer with transfer targets like Lukas Podolski, Junior Hoilett and Matias Suarez on the radar while they will also hold contract talks with Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott in the next few weeks.

And Wenger has insisted he won’t walk away from Arsenal despite the toughest week of his managerial career.

Wenger said: “We have what it takes at the club and we will add what it takes. But at the moment I believe we are not making plans for next season, we are making plans for the next game.

“I think we have what it takes at the club when everybody is available, because we had many missing and big, big players, too.

“Our main target now is to focus on the championship. We played away at Bolton and drew 0-0, we beat Blackburn at home and won away at Sunderland, so let’s win our next home game and we will be fine.

“We have played 15 years at the top level and in the top four. It is remarkable consistency and one day when you manage a club, you will see it’s not easy.”

Wenger will not spend “crazy money” on transfers but the club insist there is no wage cap and van Persie is likely to be offered around £90,000-a-week to stay.

But Wenger and the board now see fourth place as the main target as the Arsenal manager called Champions League qualification his “first trophy” after crashing out of the FA Cup at Sunderland.

Wenger was “calm and controlled” after the Sunderland defeat which was in contrast to him to him shouting and swearing at the players in a dressing down at the training ground following the Milan defeat last week.

The Arsenal Supporters’ Trust fans’ group meet tonight (MON) for what could be a stormy get together as the club face a seventh year without silverware. They are likely to ask questions of the club which has a transfer proceeds account with a deed of covenance put in place by late director Danny Fiszman. That is designed to legally ensure 70 per cent of any profit goes on strengthening the squad.

[Seydou]

PMSL. Mocking him tbh.

With the current squad, and the quality bought in the summer. Then publically announcing amount available does not help anyone at all. Sure does not help Wenger

[O Fenomeno]

I've said a few times before that Arsenal need a clean break from Wenger whenever he does leave. He is too closely involved in every aspect of the club to allow a new manager the opportunity to impose his own blueprint on the club and build a team in his image. Plus, what role could Wenger have other than an ambassadorial one? Any sort of director of football role would be problematic because wages and signings have been a major failing of Wenger in recent years - from continually signing cut price and inferior players which has been a false economy, to insisting on a wage structure where the likes of Almunia and Denilson get paid £3m a year and offer absolutely nothing to your club.

The problem is that your executive team have offered substandard leadership as well. They've offered no real direction other than to suggest that they're happy to get by with the bare minimum on the pitch as long as it brings them revenue. You really need a year or so where they start to take control off the pitch, and start laying the foundations for Wenger to move on and for another manager to come in and have a fair chance of doing something from the start rather than having to extricate the club from the shambles that it's currently in. I don't think anyone has any faith in them being able to do so though, or the expertise to offer any real contribution to the footballing side of the club.

The problem at the moment from a financial point as well is that Arsenal are slowly reaching the stage where you can negotiate more favourable deals, and you will approach them from such a weak negotiating position. Your failure to invest over recent years will have a knock on effect here as we well. Yet again it's a false economy, where the club's penurious approach will cost you revenue in the long run.

Problem is I don't think AW will go quietly if he is removed before the end his contract - knowing him he'll insist on being involved in rebuilding of the team to make sure his legacy survives, and the club, being under his sway, will concur with this. If you want him completely out of the way, the best outcome would be if France have a bad Euro tournament, and he replaces Blanc.

Whether AW goes this summer or not I think will hinge on 4th place. Your current shirt and stadium name sponsorship are due to expire in 2014 and 2021. Putting aside the latter which is a long time away, I can't see Arsenal getting a good deal without CL or big name players (when Emirates sponsorship started, you still had the bulk of the Invincibles Team) which will be the case if/when RVP leaves.

[TF S4DK]

It helps the board...

[TF S4DK]

I dont think Wenger intends to take a job upstairs anywhere, I also dont think he'll take a national job, numerous times he has said as much, so I think these are roles people think would be good for him, rather than vice versa.

TBH the commercial deals can't be as bad as the current ones, as while you say then the team on the pitch was performing, they still managed to sign awful commercial deals even for THEN.

[MF Cunt]

90 k

RVP DESERVES 190 BAGS

[TF S4DK]

Ivan will say okay Darren last offer 110k...

Darren will say you know there are several team interested in Robin offering more right?

Ivan will say look we need to be realistic here Darren, we are a self-sustaining club, Robin is the captain and hE must lead the club the way we want it to be run, so 115k, thats the best value.

Darren will say okay Ivan, let me go and discuss with Robin, I'd like to say I'll see you soon but I'll probably see you next summer to discuss Alexandre...
