My heart sank when I saw the pro Wenger plane, but have others have said, there's no such thing as bad publicity and it highlights the tension and divide at the Club. The Club always pushing the "one big happy family" bullshit and such a clear display of the divide at the Club, highlighted all ovethe media, damages the brand. Just imagine if you were potential sponsers currently in discussions with the Club....chances are you'd run a mile. Also, if the backers of the pro palne can be unearted and it is the Club, then that's a massive own goal.
I understand how SteveO feels, I myself oscillate between highs from the positive efforts ware making, to lows of thinking it's all a waste of time (I still expect him to sign a contract of whatever duration), but we HAVE to keep this up. There can be no doubt that our efforts are having an effect and even if he does sign, then it will be in the full knowledge that it is without the blessing on a vast number of the fanbase (all those with at least half a brain) and that we are not going away.
As someone that's wanted him out for 10 years, I can well appreciate how the likes of Leyton Gooner and others feel when they say that if he signs, then they are done....I get the same emotion and indeed, I don't feel about the Arsenal the way I used to (I've said before, that above everything else, it's the thing I'll never forgive the regime for),.....but hang in there fellas. there is at last, some hope. Just think how far we've come and what we've achieved in no more than a month of people deciding that action needed to be taken. Even though he may well sign, now is not the time to give up and walk away. Wenger is on the ropes more than ever before and the Club did not see this coming at all. The comatose "lumpen" fanbase have finally stirred.
Very good points, mate. I'm done if he stays. Done because I hate him as a person and done because it's clear evidence that the fans don't matter.
I think the next steps are to pick a game and boycott it. Season ticket holder don't turn up, silver members don't buy. Whenever we play Sunderland at home could be an option. On top of that, I'm starting to think that an on-pitch protest towards the end of a game or right on the final whistle is where to go next. It happens all the time at clubs up and down the country and it will send a shock wave through the board and the media if it happens at our place. On the pitch, with the banners on the tunnel side and chanting up at the director's box. As always, they can't nick anyone if loads are on the pitch and it will send a clear message.
If this *word censored* thinks he's staying, then things need to get dramatic.
