Why do you keep attributing the defensive issues to Bould?

I agree we shouldn’t really blame Bould, other than putting cones out (Pat Rice’s old job) and taking a gargantuan salary he really had no role at the club.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well he was a top defender in his day, so I presumed he would be the defensive coach. What other role did he have at the club ? Someone has suggested that he put out the cones at the training grounds and dished out the bottles of water. Whoever had the defensive responsibilities , didn't make a good job of it on many occasions.

Wenger didn't allow coaching of the defence by anybody - Wenger's idiotic view was that the best form of defence was attack - Alan Smith has talked about this and how Wenger blocked Bould from doing that job.

Bring back the guys that coached our record breaking makeshift CL defence! Didn’t wenger bring back keown for that, then sacked him after he did such a great job?

I think it was Lee Dixon who confirmed Bould has little influence on the coaching side for Arsenal.

If anything Bould is guilty of being too much of a yes man and not pushing his influence enough.

But i agree, a new manager with a new backroom staff should mean Bould is replaced with someone new. Hopefully Buvac.

Is it true??? Is he rrrreally gone??? Oh man, forget Wenger going, the sacking of this man has been needed above all others for 15 years now. IMO he is a big part of Wenger's failures and the single largest factor in several young stars never quite fulfilling their potential.

If this is accurate news then bust open the bubbly and toast to the new and improved HEALTHY football squad we the Arsenal are about to posses.

There IS a God. Praise and thanks unto him.
