I think they will actually end up seeming less spineless than usual, the lack of match-fitness and the weird crowd situation will disrupt both sides to start with and city's focus will be on the CL anyway as they know they aren't catching us.

It's quite evident that Wenger, though a legend he may be, left a completely fucked Arsenal much in the way Fergie did when he left as well. It'll take them years to recover on top of the two he's already been gone.

Arsenal were done long before Wenger left; and unlike Fergie, Wenger didn't have the personality to drag them over the line through sheer force of will.  Those FA Cups only papered over the cracks.  They went 10 years without a trophy.  This is early-mid 1980s level stuff from Arsenal.

Just making this point in the games thread. They wasted unbelievable amounts of money towards the end of his time there to try and prop him up for another couple of seasons. Now they've got to rebuild the entire team with no money.

Think Gazidas needs to shoulder some of the blame as well. The last year or 2 transfers really set us back. Buying the likes of Xhaka & Mustafi in 1 summer, not cashing in on Sanchez & Ozil, swapping Sanchez for Mkhitaryan, having Aubameyang & Lacazette as major signings within just over a year of each other, giving Ozil a ridiculous contract.

It's obvious the squad is in serious transition. We've got some good youngsters, the seniors that are meant to be the leaders like Mustafi, Luiz & Xhaka are the ones letting them down.

If Arteta had any sense he's bomb them & get some less error prone guys for the youngsters to play with.

How can you just point the fingers at the manager, yes Wenger made mistakes especially with Ozil, but the whole set-up at Arsenal seems lop-sided at the moment. We know through experience ourselves what that can lead to.

Both sides had one man with a huge amount of power and responsibility for decades, that klopps responsibility is predominantly the first team so we should be far less likely to suffer when he goes like those two did

Where do you stand on the Dein situation? I have heard some Arsenal fans saying it is what they need now and others saying he was part of the problem. You just seem to have a set-up that doesn't work in the way it needs to. It reminds me of us in the latter years of the cancers.

It's a badly run club from top to bottom, and has been for some considerable time.  Part of the problem probably lies with not kicking Wenger upstairs sooner.  They basically waited until after they fell out of the CL slots to start trying to fix things, by which point it was too late. No forward thinking at all.

Fair enough, you can't blame him completely but he probably overstayed by a good two or three years with some papering over the cracks in which, as Gerry Attrick said, they tried to prop him up for another few seasons with some ridiculous signings, contracts and just overall bizarre transfer activity when it was quite clear that he was finished. Now, those Arsenal fans with their signs of "Wenger Out" were classless pricks and went about it completely the wrong way but the club and Wenger should have parted in a mutually agreeable and respectable fashion about four years ago when things weren't as fucked for Arsenal and a new man would have had come in and probably had a bit of an easier time with it. They're not even part of the "big six" anymore. They're mid-table.

Fair enough, you can't blame him completely but he probably overstayed by a good two or three years in which, as Gerry Attrick said, they tried to prop him up for another few seasons with some ridiculous signings, contracts and just overall bizarre transfer activity when it was quite clear that he was finished. Now, those Arsenal fans with their signs of "Wenger Out" were classless pricks and went about it completely the wrong way but the club and Wenger should have parted in a mutually agreeable and respectable fashion about four years ago when things weren't as fucked for Arsenal and a new man in would have had come in and probably had a bit of an easier time with it. They're not even part of the "big six" anymore. They're mid-table.

Yes, he should have left earlier. But then the club should have had a plan to replace him with both a system and a manager who could work within that system. It's not as if they didn't have time for it, they knew when he was going. It's the lack of long-term planning which is apparent in a number of clubs. Its something I hope we are working on as well, as you need to be ready for when the next guy comes in, or at least have a system set up which means the next appointment has at least a chance of running smoothly.

We’re now way past the point of still including them as a ‘Top 6’ club. A lot of promising young payers but the failure to sort out their defence over the last 10 years is ridiculous.
