Sacking Wenger is the worst thing that has ever happened to our club.
The Be CaReFuL wHaT yOu WiSh FoR mob were right all along. Not because Wenger was doing a fantastic job or anything, he was doing an awful job. He was a dictator who ran this club from top to bottom. But now that he’s gone, the men making the decisions at the top are completely lost.
Our idiotic facking board are more clueless than I ever gave them credit for. Failing to sack Emery after the Europa final was one thing, failing to sack Artitler multiple times this season is another, but the fact that they have now given him power to systematically destroy this club from the inside is frightening.
So far he has exiled Guendozi, AMN, Saliba and Martinelli. The first three on that list WILL be sold this Summer. Martinelli most likely will also be sold, if not this summer then certainly next Summer. Willock, Nelson, Eddie - all big hopes for Arsenal’s future have been ruined and probably will be sold. Aston Villa are repeatedly knocking on the door for ESR. Never in a million years would I expect ESR to be sold but I thought the same thing last season about Emi, one of the best keepers in the world, before we eventually sold him to Villa 🤦♂️
For all Wenger’s faults, he gave our young players a fair chance to develop. His philosophy was built on purchasing and promoting youth players, even when it was clear they weren’t good enough. Artitler has some of the most talented youngsters we’ve ever had to work with and he has not given a PL debut to a single player under the age of 22, and that number would be a lot higher if he didn’t sign Odegaard on loan. The guy is a coward and would rather spend £250m on players who may or may not improve us slightly when there is plenty of talent already at the club that just need the right coaching.
I celebrated the day I heard Wenger was leaving the club but I’d take him back in a heartbeat and never question the man again, if it means Artitler would feck off. I never hated Wenger but I HATE Artitler. He’s a nobody. I don’t care if Pep rates him. I don’t care if he captained Arsenal, he captained a banter squad in a banter era where Arsenal consistently failed and underachieved. And he’s now turned us from underachievers to a flat out joke.
I’d rather give Wenger £250m to spend then give a penny to Artitler. And Wenger is the man who brought us the likes of Xhaka and Mustafi. I just can’t for the life of me understand why KSE are allowing him to tear their investment apart. Come home Arsene 🥺 all is forgiven
The AKB were right. I was wrong.

The mistake was keeping the hapless Wenger so long, he should have gone when we finally won the FA Cup the first time after such a drought, but he clung on like a limpet and the incremental decline continued - by the time he left our ability to win away was so bad it was relegation form…😐

Lets remember Wenger brought players like Mustafi for 35 mill, a player that Valencia couldn’t give away for free and a player that even relegated schalke didn’t want in the end. I think this article is a bit premature , shall we see what actually transpires in the coming weeks. Who comes in, who leaves. It’s just hear say and optimistic journalists spouting rumours.

How many times have we said “wait and see” with the transfer market? When will Arsenal fans learn.
Also yes, at any other club, Wenger had to go at least 5 years before he finally did. But no other club has owners as inept as ours who somehow manage to find even worse replacements. When Artitler eventually does get sacked we all know his predecessor is gonna be another clown

Couple of things.
Firstly, I agree this is on KSE. Whether we like Arteta or not, the guy is obviously not trying to put his job in jeopardy by takings risks - you only have to watch the way we play to understand that. And this is where he, and the supporters, are being let down again by the owners and Edu.
Someone needs to remind Arteta of:
i) our current financial situation - giving him north of £100m for transfers would be irresponsible at the moment. £250m is mind blowingly dumb.
ii) the true ‘Arsenal way’ - sadly, there is no longer anyone at the club that remembers this. Which is ironic, seeing as one of the positive angles of Arteta and Edu coming in, even untested as they were, was the hope they would bring a continuity of this.
iii) the reason he got the job in the first place wasn’t because of his managerial record (he had none) but because of his, supposed, coaching ability. So coach then!
Also needs pointing out, to my mind at least, Wenger’s youth development record at Arsenal is a bit overstated. Yes, he mightn’t have had the same quality youth coming through from Hale End as we currently do, but he also made plenty of mistakes with young players he had - Cole was on the brink of leaving, until Sylvinho had his ‘passport issues’. Wilshere was totally overplayed way too young. Gnabry not enough. Those are just the obvious examples.
Should also be considered, of the clubs we’re trying to compete with - both on the field and in the way they do business - Liverpool’s current U23s are streets ahead of ours, and I’m not sure many of them have had too many first team chances so far - though that’s a point I’m happy to defer to someone else on.

This is a bit dramatic I love Wenger but he was gonna go soon either way at his age. Saka, ESR are the only top talents from our academy, the rest of our youth gets hyped because we all want them to make it with us but the reality is they're mid/lower level PL players. Willock deserves a chance, the rest are squad players if that. Guendouzi is trash. Saliba seems to be hyped by Arsenal twitter for his ball skills and dribbling past a few players. We have by far the worst squad we've had in decades and fans are actually moaning that we could be spending big, this team desperately needs investment. And Arteta's signings have been alright tbf even if he hasn't got the best out of them.

Nah Saliba really is an incredible talent and it's not because of his dribbling skills.

You're spot on, I feel your pain. Arteta is a complete disaster. My fear is he will end up driving our Hale End youngsters away from the club
