i read thru all these “feeling” to say from truly arsenal fans who have the club ay heart.. its a pity for sure from my home back in uganda around the 2005 every football fan(manutd n liverpool n arsenal)loved to watch the team play. they payed for the entertainement in so doing they began to love the club 2nd to their utd and pool. looking at what is happening at the club right now seems like a curse… if it was africa the spiritual leaders would be summoned to find the problem… back to arsenal, this is a business making profit, what more would you want if u were the owner who gives no shit abt football. my advice… i respect van persie for the hard decision he made… at his age. lets all emulate him and choose wisely if it hurts seeing arsenal run this way. otherwise keep ur cool and stay healthy n dont create history(heart attacks).

Money is the key here. As long as the club is making sufficient revenue to pay off the loans, pay the bills, pay the salaries with enough money left over to satisfy the shareholders, things will not change much. The club will only spend more money for more return and if the stadium sells out every week as is, then why spend more? Silverware does not increase revenue directly!

In reply to micro.

Micro , i can understand English, but i guess you didnt get my point.
My point is that, Its better to disagree and come up with a counter arguement than to just slate others saying they are talking crap and know nothing.
Yes we dont sit in Arsenal board, but dont we all watch matches, dont we see whats wrong with the side and have an opinion. If all a football follower/fan has to do is shut up and watch his side play than the game will be hell boring.

He may be unproven as yet ( as was Arsene when he first came to Arsenal ) but my man for the job has to be Dennis Bergkamp. Has the same outlook as Wenger on how football should be played, but when playing new how to dig in and fight! I’m sure his reputation would also attract the big players. He has Arsenal in his blood and seems to be doing a good job with de Boer at Ajax just now.

Who will sack Arsene? Arsene is making good money for the board and the club. I don’t think they will sack him.
He will stay until the end of his contract.
We have heard of such “Sack” Arsene talks many times in the past 7 years. This is neither the first not the last time we are hearing this.

Arsene Wenger has simply lost it. He needs to the go. This level of mediocrity in terms of performance from the team should no longer be tolorated. The board members simply lack ambition and are only interested in sharing profits at the expense of the club. Moreover, Ivan Gazidis or whatever is simply clueless.
Arsenal are no longer a force to reckon with in England and Europe. Its high time we started boycotting matches. The managment of the club need to feel a drastic decline in sales/revenue otherwise they won’t act. They are simply a bunch of jokers.

The only language the board understands is when numbers in the stadium reduce…reduced sales….
And personally i believe thats the only way Wenger will leave Arsenal. Now i dont buy tickets, i therefore urge those that buy to stop going there for only 3 consecutive matches…….I DONT HATE WENGER, BUT SOMETIMES ITS BEST TO LEAVE WHEN THINGS ARE NOT HAPPENING…..ON A GUD NOTE…

In reply to Conund. what dont you understand in that statement? It just means ,no club or company in the world is run from blog postings and bloggers cannot claim to know what the board should do, hence it is posting for the sake of posting. Are we communicating now?

I have been saying for ages that Wenger only seems to have a plan A. I love him to bits and he has been a great manager but I cannot agree about buying. The board have the final decision. I believe we lost out on Lloris because the board would not pay the transfer fee. Not good enough. I do feel that the tactical play does need changing and they need more freedom. I think Pep Guardiola would be good for Arsenal. We do not sit in at boardroom meetings so we cannot comment on what Arsene says but I am sure he has plenty to say. He is very passionate and loves the club. I believe he does want the best for the club.

To me the only mistake Wenger made was to loan out Bentiner. He is an average goal scorer and on agood day can be very goog. The likes of Park,squallace, Danellison, and the send goal keeper(Famb) can all the sold off and the money being wasted on them can be used to pay for one quality striker. As for me to feel happy we need to have Falcao and one quality mid fielder to help Arteta. In fact we can sell off Ramsy and buy another quality mid fielder.
