That looks like a "been talking to a bloke from the garage who knows someone who works in the yewf" type of thing.
I'm wondering who the board wars are between. In recent AGM's the board (Friar, Gazidis, Keswick, Harris, Kroenke's) always seem unanimous in how the club is being run as their shares are worth a fortune now compared to then. The only fly in the ointment is Usmanov but he has no power and doesn't even attend AGM's and meetings. 7 wins out of 8 is unsettled? The issues was the Bayern games, they completely broke us for a time. Looks like nonsense.
Wenger vs Board maybe.
The Bayern games broke us, after the first 5-1 loss we had Sutton who we beat. We then lost to Liverpool being completely outplayed and then lost to BGayern again. Directly following the second Bayern loss we beat Lincoln 5-0, lost to WEst Brom, Drew with Man City and beat West ham before losing to Place, beating Boro and beating City in extra time in the cup.
Which run of losses broke us after the Bayern games... was it the two wins, albeit against dire opposition, or drawing with City, beating a massively in form Leicester?
There was nothing at all different about how we played post Bayern losses or the Bayern games themselves, we played the same game. We were inconsistent all season. The loss to Southampton in the cup where we were laughably poor, the bayern games, the Spurs game, the Palace game, the West brom game.
Look up tables of us vs the top third, middle third, bottom third.
I posted a few times late Jan pointing out that we both had a shockingly poor record against the top 8 and we played the top 8 less than anyone else. We had more home and lower table games than almost any other team, we were dire in those games. I said there is a good 90% chance that we'll now fall further behind as that run of games evens out and we play more top teams while others play more lower teams and shock, horror, that is what happened.
The only difference between up to end of Jan was we had less tough games played, we played the same football, the same guys went missing in the same games, Sanchez struggled horribly as a central striker for much of the season. A large portion of his goals in the first three months came late in games when GIroud was brought on and Sanchez was moved back out wide and in many of those games we looked dire for 70 mins till that change happened.
As for the supposed words from Brady, if true who cares, the main issue wasn't spoken about, what can Wenger do different if he does stay? The past 12 years suggest nothing, nothing at all. HE said nothing interesting at all, players need to improve, Xhaka massively so but it won't happen under Wenger because the players just don't get better under Wenger. The attitude of so many players is absolutely awful and Wenger clearly encourages this kind of attitude because it's both been a problem for years and he's also shown repeatedly that any players who show that anger and determination to do better, to call out the team when it's playing like **** and to try to push them to do better gets shown the door asap, while the yes men who think way way too highly of themselves get new contracts over and over again. Wenger staying will be a disaster, whatever money he gets he'll spend most of it poorly, whoever he gets in won't hit the same form or be as good as at previous clubs for the most part and the existing squad won't improve. As with all our best players, after a few years the actually good ones with the right attitude will get frustrated and leave. Wenger staying will lead to the wrong guys getting new contracts, more of the wrong players than right players being bought and more of the right players leaving and wrong players getting new contracts. Every year he stays makes it harder for the next guy to do a good job when he takes over.
