We could be stuck with Wenger Part 2 for another 10 to 20 years.... Leadership has to come from the top. The owner has to set the tone. I'll always believe that.NickF wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2017 11:15 amI would hope, somewhat naively, that the new manager would have it within himself to push for the best regardless of the owner.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2017 10:49 am
I suppose tbh I'd point a lot of this back at the owner of the club and my previous posts that the Wenger-Hate "almost excuses" the owner of his responsibilities to set the tone, lead the club, demand performance and success from the manager and other club employees. We will always drift along without strong motivated ownership first and foremost. I think no one can deny that a real football man coming in as our new owner would probably sack or force "retirement" on Wenger as a priority. The bewigged cúnt won't. It's a bit of a catch 22 really... until Wenger goes we are in this mode of drifting aimlessly, and even then we might still be fucked because the current owner will not demand from the new manager anything other than what Wenger currently delivers...
Just think that the likes of Mourinho, Pep etc. wouldn't be content to drift as Wenger seems to have for years despite the resources available to him.
We all know that Kroenke isn't going to put his hand pocket yet last year we made around £400m which invested wisely we have us at least challenging.
The thing is, that as things stand, an awful lot of fans will tolerate/accept what wenker is delivering every season, but I don't think that those same people will give the same unconditional support for a different manager - we have all heard the bullsh*t "he has earned the right" spewed out by some c.unts, but the next manager wont have earned the right to decide and that is where things could get interesting
Anyway, to answer the original question, finishing in top 4 is the ONLY aim - the club wont publicly admit that, but we all know from past experience that nothing else matters and especially so this season having been cast into the spursday night wilderness
