Badman Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 My fear is he will get us 4th, then have a decent season (next season) and will refuse to extend his contract beyond 2014 and basically stick it to all the people that gave him grief these last few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF S4DK Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Of course thats what he will do. Altho he's got a lot of fucking work to do to turn this season round. Which is my real fear atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF S4DK Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 No consequences: The truth is Wenger is not under pressure at Arsenal.. and that's precisely the problem Matt Law explains why the lack of any recriminations at the Emirates has harmed the club's quest for success Arsene Wenger is not under any pressure. Those seven words sum up exactly what is wrong at Arsenal. The manager is not under pressure, the players are not under pressure, the chief executive is not under pressure and the owner most certainly isn’t under pressure. In fact, nobody at Arsenal is under any pressure. They might tell you they are, but they can’t be really because there are never any consequences. Wenger is one of the highest-paid managers, Ivan Gazidis is the highest-paid chief executive and Andrey Arshavin must be one of the top-earning reserves in the country. Stan Kroenke charges some of the highest prices and doesn’t even feel the need to go to games. He can stay away and watch the money roll in. Sure they might get booed or people might say nasty things about them on radio phone-ins, but nothing really happens when a star player is sold or the team crash out of another cup. The in-house response to losing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League would be much the same as it would be to beating them – same old, same old. Wenger we are told is safe regardless. It doesn’t matter that it has been eight years since Arsenal’s last trophy or that Bradford and Blackburn have knocked the club out of this season’s domestic cup competitions. Should they get eliminated by Bayern, will anybody at the club ask Wenger why he fielded a weakened team in the final group game against Olympiakos that cost Arsenal top place and a far easier draw against Galatasaray? Probably not. Will he have to justify the fact two transfer windows have now passed without him addressing the need to sign a holding midfielder to replace Alex Song? Unlikely. There are more questions than answers regarding Wenger’s decisions over the past 12 months and yet he does not have to provide any answers. He even admitted to creating what he described as Arsenal’s ‘socialist’ wage structure that ensures all the players are well rewarded. It also ensures there is no pressure on the players. Why should Arshavin feel any pressure when he earns £70,000-a-week to do precisely nothing? Sebastien Squillaci must feel pretty relaxed on his £50,000-a-week deal. When Manuel Almunia joined Watford on a free transfer, he admitted he had rejected earlier opportunities to leave Arsenal before his contract expired because he was so comfortable. That’s what Wenger has created. Shouldn’t Gazidis and Kroenke have something to say about the number of players Arsenal have out on loan because the club cannot sell them? Wenger decided to give Marouane Chamakh, Ju-Young Park, Nicklas Bendtner, Johan Djourou, Denilson and Andre Santos healthy Arsenal contracts and yet no other club will take them permanently. Even the players who get a game for Arsenal do not need to fear the consequences of a bad performance or repeated mistakes. How many more chances will Gervinho be given and how long will it take Wenger to admit the captaincy has been bad for Thomas Vermaelen? Bacary Sagna has been given a free pass this season. No wonder so many Arsenal players think Wenger is the perfect manager. Not many people would dislike a boss who pays out big and turns a blind eye to so many errors. The coaches don’t have to worry, either. Despite having all the tools to become one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, Wojciech Szczesny is struggling badly. And yet coach Gerry Peyton is seemingly just allowed to get on with things, despite the fact a goalkeeper has yet to improve at Arsenal since Jens Lehmann left five years ago. Gazidis cannot be feeling too much pressure, given the fact he has survived Arsenal losing Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri, Song and Robin van Persie under his watch. How anybody involved in the decision to allow Van Persie to join rivals Manchester United for £24m in the summer is still in a job is a mystery. Arsenal will say their hands were tied, but that is not the case. The club could have said no to United – they chose to say yes. And yet Gazidis is still in place with his Financial Fair Play jam tomorrow Arsenal promises, providing the perfect shield for the absent Kroenke. The tough decisions pressure brings are for other clubs. So is winning. Like I say change the top, you change Wenger, who then changes the team.

Wenger changes, the club changes. The Gunners boss has indicated he wants to open discussions on an extension but is keen for the club's former director to work with him on signing new players this summer Arsene Wenger wants to bring David Dein back to Arsenal as he prepares to open preliminary contract talks with the club, Goal.com can reveal. Arsenal still retain complete faith in Wenger and are willing to offer him an extension to his current deal that could extend his reign to the 20-year mark. The Frenchman has indicated that he is keen to stay at Emirates Stadium but has told the club of his desire to be re-united with close friend and former ally Dein so they can work together on signing new players this summer. The former Arsenal vice-chairman was ousted from the board in April 2007 for acting unilaterally in trying to attract new investment to the club but he retains a deep affinity for the club, watches home matches from his own box at Emirates Stadium and is still very close to Wenger. A series of boardroom obstacles would need to be overcome for Dein to return but the 69-year-old has never criticised the club publically since his acrimonious departure and is still held in high esteem by supporters for his role in the 1998-2005 trophy-laden years. Goal.com understands that Wenger is prepared to push strongly for Dein to take charge of negotiating player transfers this summer as Arsenal prepare to make use of what is expected to be the biggest kitty in the club’s history. The Arsenal board remain committed to Wenger despite a sizeable portion of fans calling for him to resign after they were dumped out of the FA Cup by Blackburn Rovers at the weekend as his 16-and-a-half year tenure plumbed new depths. As revealed by Goal.com in December, Wenger had rebuffed an informal approach from the club to arrange a time to open discussions over a new deal, insisting that he would assess his future at the end of the season. The 63-year-old’s contract expires in June 2014 and there had been a growing sense within the club that he would not sign another deal, and could even leave this summer if Arsenal fail to attain a Champions League place. However, the Arsenal board, led by majority owner Stan Kroenke and chief executive Ivan Gazidis, do not want to lose Wenger and the club have approached him once again in recent weeks about extending his reign. In turn, the Frenchman has indicated that he is ready to sit down and hold formal talks with the club about a new deal. Wenger’s public stance is that he always honours his contracts and that no firm decision has been taken over his future beyond 2014. Nevertheless, there is a growing possibility that he could put pen to paper on a new contract before the start of next season to end speculation about the direction in which the club are heading. The boardroom impetus comes at a time when Wenger's stock among a large section of the Arsenal support is perhaps at the lowest ebb of his long reign. The club have been knocked out of the two domestic competitions by lower-league opposition this season and lie fifth in the Premier League table, four points behind fourth-placed Tottenham. However, senior Arsenal officials want Wenger to stay and develop a team around a British core of Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain supplemented by proven foreign stars in the mould of last summer’s key signings Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski. The new financial fair play rules have already squeezed the spending of Manchester City and Chelsea, and Arsenal believe the Frenchman can take advantage of this to build a squad genuinely capable of challenging for trophies. Although Arsenal’s sole remaining hope of ending a trophy-less run that dates back to 2005 lies in winning the Champions League, the board remain convinced in the abilities of Wenger and put far greater store in his record of top-four finishes and success in navigating the group stages of the Europe’s flagship competition year after year. The club’s longest-serving manager is also appreciated by the board for maintaining the club's elite status either side of the move from Highbury while having a transfer budget that was dwarfed by the club's rivals. The north Londoners' high command are also convinced that new commercial deals, such as the recently-announced £150million Emirates contract that comes into effect from 2014, leave Arsenal even better positioned in the medium and long term than they are now.
