edd 01, I see you saw that a member of staff is leaving, I've heard that its going to be steve bould. Is that what you have also heard {Ed001's Note - it was Bould who I was referring to, yes.}

I am sure that Steve Bould would have sorted our defence out had he been allowed. The is the worst back four that we have had in years and it is down to the defence that we are potless again. Poor marking at Bradford (yes, the team who got hammered by Swansea) cost us the game and mistake after mistake lost us the match against Blackburn. I feel sorry for the offensive players because they must be furious by the incompetence at the back. I say Wenger should be the one to go as he is too powerful at the club.

What a wasted opportunity - that says it all. AW just looking for a yes man then.

Should be Wenger. What a shambles, took years to replace Rice and just months for Bould, Disgrace.

I wish Wenger would go.

ed001 iv read in places that you believe we are getting a new manager next year. you don't have to give names but is their anyone being considered as a top target or maybe even agreed? and if this is the case do you think it will be a good appointment? {Ed001's Note - I don't know, all I know is from a member of the coaching staff at Arsenal, he told a very good friend of his that he expected it to be all change in the summer. That he doesn't expect to still be there next season and that he expects this to be Wenger's final season in charge. I am not sure whether he is expecting a takeover, with the new owner/s wanting their own man in charge, or if he knows that Wenger has plans to move on in the summer of his own accord. My gut feeling is that Wenger has decided to move on, knowing that Madrid will be looking for a new manager, and that one of the main rivals for the job, Rafa, has done himself no favours at Chelsea, this could be the time for him to finally take up their offer. Though City might still be a possibility, they have approached him a number of times, Mancini is hanging on by a thread, it wouldn't be a surprise if he went there either.}

City fans won't be happy to see Mancini replaced by Wenger!

Hi ed001

your reply to this post is very interesting.

if the powers to be know he's going in the summer and with the take over talk who is looking at the club to employ the next manager?

i suppose we can forget about any of the rumours on players coming in until we know who owns the club and who is the manager.

regards {Ed001's Note - no new owner would want a manager with so much power, well not when they are failing to win trophies. Any potential owner will no doubt have sounded out possible replacements, but that's saying they can convince Kroenke to sell. If no takeover is happening, then Wenger is choosing his successor, which I find extremely strange. Though that would explain why the coaching staff would expect to be moving on, if they know Wenger is preparing ground for his replacement. I just don't see how any manager gets himself into a position where he is responsible for everything, even in what happens after he leaves!}

I can't see there being a new manager until wenger wins a final trophy

the goon

Well ed001 I was all ways right about the power wenger had at the club.

it amazes me how blind some supporters have been since dein left.

this was going on well b4 kroenke and gazidas took over at the club.

i hate there is a chance kroenke could walk away with a £400 mill profit for 3-4 years of doing nothing at the club and supported by that c*** wenger.

i am so F****** annoyed and so should every arsenal supporter.

as I said yesterday we the arsenal fan let it get this far

I don't mind who comes in, as long as they can see the obvious deficiencies in our tactics. Having see Bale and Lennon rip through our ponderous back four, we had better get our calculators out for the trip to Bayern as this could be very embarrassing.

The goon

we will have to wait another 8 years for a trophy.

Wenger has next season left on his contract and I cannot see him leaving until his contract has expired. I also know coaches at AFC and Wenger never talks openly about this type of subject but one thing is for sure if we have a take-over I would suspect Wenger will be asked to step down as he looks knackered and lost and has not won anything for 8yrs

That is not giong to happen

If Wenger steps down, it will be to move into an advisory position upstairs. But finding someone as good or better will be tough.
Ferguson won't leave Man U
Pep just went to Munich
Mourinho won't go to team where he can't spend big. Neither will Mancini or
Klinsmann? Bob Bradley might be an interesting choice, but I doubt he's on the radar.
Raneri? Ancelotti? Blanc? Dechampes?
Maybe Henry or Zidane would be interesting, but I think they would want to work under Wenger first.
