Kroenke/Gazidis/Wenger out!

Wilshere said: "The boss has been here for 16 years and he's been doing a great job so you can't question him.

Vermaelen added: "They don't look at the long term and he's done a lot for this club. He is the right man for this club and we are all behind him."

Winger Theo Walcott said: "We've got the best man in the job to get our heads back to where they should be. I've played a lot of games in the Champions League and I know how things go.

In his news conference, Wenger was asked if he had "felt like throwing in the towel".
He replied: "Never, not one second.
"I have a contract until the end of 2014 and at the moment we are on a short-term plan. I have been here for a long time and have to consider what I want to do. That will be decided in 2014, not before

From the BBC

More talk. Heard plenty of that these past seven years we've been regressing

What next?

Wenger's the man to get us back into the top four.

Without wenger we'd be relegated?

Not from the BBC

we're going nowhere under kroenke. i'm actually starting to become open to the idea of usmanov (despite his odious past), because i can't imagine it'd be any worse than the status quo. even if it is, at least it would be interesting, instead of the neverending groundhog seasons we've been going thru since 2005. he's got henry and dein on board, and seemingly pires as well. dein is well-connected - maybe it would kickstart things a bit.

Well Uzi might not have it all his own way if Wenger goes and Kroenke starts losing money and has to sell, there may be other bidders.

Rex

I don't mind Kroenke. His ownership hasn't made a difference at all to what we were before. He needs to replace the board. A board that values winning more, a board that isn't as cautious about spending money as the current board is, and a board that puts pressure on the manager to win things is what we need. More so than a new manager in fact.

We've got decidedly worse since Kroenke arrived so I can't stand him (I know that may not be fair).
Appears to me that player trading is his true love, building a title challenging squad is not his thing.
Plus he looks like a right reject.

Rex

How have we got worse since Kroenke became the majority owner?

y va marquer

Performances, results, the age and profile of the players we've sold

Biggus

The filthy toad thinks he can control the club and watch his shares grow nicely without caring nothing for the sport or putting anything back.
He says "I don't what you expect me to say, I don't fucking know if we should play Walcott or Giroud up front I don't understand soccerball I just want money".

Couldn't find the players in January.

how's about we just buy the ones making the headlines or who beat us with ease

Doc

Stop.lying wengie, you would never spend the amount it would take to bring in Falcao.. Him & the board might really want to bring in a wc player but they never will because there still using some 1990s valuation. Football had moved on...

Only because the failures that existed before he took over have persisted. We were shit before he arrived, and we've been shit since.

I'm with Rex - Kroenke's biggest crime is letting the horrible status quo continue & doing nothing about it. Not that it's a minor crime, of course...

Q: If the club had been a bit more open about not competing in the transfer market after moving to the Emirates then would the fans have swallowed the trophy drought more easily?

AW: "Well, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You cannot come out and say, 'Look, we cannot win the championship'. We were close during this period, you know, we were very close. Because I feel we had the quality. But, I think what angered more our fans is that we lost the players we educated, and that was much more difficult to swallow then all the rest, I believe, and that's what we have to change."

Q: You'll be able to change that now because of the money?

AW: "Yes, of course, There were many major issues we were fighting to keep our best players. You can only keep your best players, let's be realistic, by paying the wages of the market. To pay the wages of the market we have to put the ticket prices up. And then the fans turn against you and say 'but you lose the best players and we pay high prices for tickets' and they are right. But that was the consequence of the unfair competition that we faced. Having said that the fans are ready to pay the ticket price if you win the championship, but we didn't.":.

CitizenNo9

No you moron, to keep your top players you get rid of the dross, not increase ticket prices! Just shows he doesn't get it.

Edit: Not you Gazza

asajoseph

"Yes, of course", he says, 6 months after selling our best player to Manchester Utd.

Q: So, Falcao costs £40m, on 5-year-contract, would you sign him?

AW: "We can do it. If we can afford it, we will not say no. But, today, we have to focus on tomorrow [Aston Villa].

All of this we're in the money and in the market for big players talk all of a sudden.
I suppose these vast reserves of cash will continue to be the stuff of myth and legend if we somehow scrape fourth

asajoseph

It's the usual shit to get people ready to renew their STs. Cynical cunts.

y va marquer

And the hike in ticket prices is as a result of the unfair competition we faced, despite having all this unspent money stashed away.
Right.
