I know that a bigger percentage
of Arsenal fans than ever before would like to see the end

year then I am sure that percentage would be much smaller.

there is no doubting that Arsene has helped to provide us with some incredible footballing moments in the formative
years of his managerial career at Arsenal, but that certainly doesn't and shouldn't mean that he has earned the right to decide when and how he should leave this club... there have been numerous managers at each
of the biggest clubs in Europe throughout the last decade who have waged far more successful campaigns than ours yet somehow and someway each were given their walking papers because they failed to meet the standards laid out by the hierarchy
of their respective clubs...
of course that doesn't mean that clubs should simply follow the lead
of others, especially if clubs
of note have become too reactionary when it comes to issues
of termination, for whatever reasons, but there should be some logical discourse when it comes to the setting
of parameters for a changing
of the guard... in the case
of Arsenal, this sort
of discourse was largely stifled when the higher - ups devised their sinister plan on the eve
of our move to the Emirates... by giving Wenger a free pass due to supposed financial constraints he, unwittingly or not, set the bar too low... it reminds me
of a landlord who says he will only rent to «professional people» to maintain a certain standard then does a complete about face when the market is lean and vacancies are up... for those who rented under the original mandate they
of course feel cheated but there is little they can do, except move on, especially if the landlord clearly cares more about profitability than keeping their word... unfortunately for the lifelong fans
of a
football club it's not so easy to switch allegiances and frankly why should they, in most cases we have been around far longer than them... so how does one deal with such an untenable situation... do you simply shut - up and hope for the best, do you place the best interests
of those with only self - serving agendas above the collective and pray that karma eventually catches up with them, do you run away with your tail
between your legs and only return when things have ultimately changed, do you keep trying to find silver linings to justify your very existence, do you lower your expectations by convincing yourself it could be worse or do you stand up for what you believe in by holding people accountable for their actions, especially when every fiber
of your being tells you that something is rotten in the state
of Denmark
no one in thier right mind would believe this the club is quibbling over the valuation

which is certainly not a slight on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class performances for club and country in recent
years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid
of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential
of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future
of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another in the litany
of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical in the boardroom as on the pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs counter to the thoughts in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even when they are spread out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (kind
of a cross
between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few
years ago... did no one in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring
of the
football universe... think
of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure
of monumental proportions... only if you cared,
of course
