Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Realistically, what odds Wenger staying at Arsenal after next Saturday? From what I've been reading in the press this last 48 hours the board are split down the middle as to whether Wenger should be given a new deal or not, with majority shareholder 'Silent' Stan Kroenke in favour of him staying. Apparently, Chips whatever his name is is ineffective in his role at the club, and Chief Exec Ivan Gazidis doesn't get on with Wenger at all.
Putting aside my feelings about Arsenal, personally if he HAS split the board like that, he has alienated a large section of the fan base and looks like some of the players have stopped playing for him; he needs to leave. He should have gone a few seasons ago, sticking to the maxim better to go out at the top. As far as I can see, him being given a 1 or 2 year contract will only appease fans if Arsenal deliver a league title. Without major investment in the playing squad, I cannot see that happening anytime soon.
