If Arsenal were to lose 2nd leg Champions League and go out, but are allowed back in due to the Fenerbahce ban being upheld, do you think Gazidis and Wenger's job's should be safe?

{Ed022's Note - I said this before on here but if Arsenal win over two legs they will go through. Fenerbahce will be banned from entering the CL next year and will obviously be out of this years competition. This is the easy way out for Uefa. If Fenerbahce win over two legs then I fully expect CAS to expel them from the Champions League and we will sneak in through the back door...}

If Fenerbahce win over two legs then another team from Turkey will get a chance to play in CL . logic . we will not sneak in through back door

{Ed022's Note - The word "logic" and Uefa are never used in the same sentence...}

No if we lose to Fener then no Wenger should not stay. Gazidis imo actually does his job, it's not his fault he either doesn't have a clue or isn't allowed to deal with transfers with total freedom. Wenger has the final say so how can we punish Gazidis. Reality is he's made this club massive off the back of sod all success in the last 8 years and he's landed and improved all our commercial deals when our football has declined, as has our reputation. Gazidis can stay, let's bring in some ambassadors and give Dick Law or someone else the freedom in the market that Wenger won't allow.

One paper reported that the team Fenerbahce knocked out in previous round, Salzburg, would be reinstated, and Arsenal would have to play the tie again, another £3 million in the bank!

So ed, are you saying that essentially we are in a "win, win" situation? We might very well need it. We would get some stick for getting through the 'wrong way' though.

{Ed022's Note - I am being very facetious but I have a sneaky feeling it could be a possibility if we were to go out over two legs...}

Dread to think what is going to happen in the stadium, or outside if we lose. And what's every home game, the rest of the season going to be like? I'm a miserable git!

OK fair enough, thanks ed.

Hopefully, it will be academic and we will get through on merit anyway. Fingers crossed.

Only thing Ed is Platini and English clubs don't seem to mix either.

{Ed022's Note - This is very true. In that case, we can expect to see a "lucky dip" draw where several teams (lucky losers if you will) go into a draw to be picked out to see who goes through in Fenerbahce's place. The draw is very official and made is Monaco in front of the tv cameras and surprise, surprise a French team is pulled out...}

Because are team is full of pretty boys who can't hack it

{Ed022's Note - Is that why Vito Mannone was sold? He wasn't blessed in the looks department...}
