I've seen this question come up in the aftermath of our latest defeat and I think 9 points out of the last 24 available.
But I would like to remind everyone that when Wenger came in he was relatively unknown in this country. It turned out to be a great choice for the first decade at least. We won a couple of doubles, then had the Invincibles and finally moved to the new stadium. All of them were great feats.
Arsenal have a huge international scouting network which could just as easily be utilised to try to spot another Wenger type unknown who could come in and lead the club forward. Its one thing for fans to say they would like particular managers but the club is huge organisation of massive value that has the resources to find someone who fits the bill. Its a bit like the striker situation, they could of got someone if they really wanted to. I don't think it would be right to rush things to bring someone new in now and the end of the season will do.
Who could replace Wenger?

Dotty, you have to consider if Simeone will be as successful outside of Atletico.
You get the feeling he's in his comfort zone, he loves the club so much and he played for them for many years. I don't think he will replicate that passion with another club.

I would love for us to take a risk on someone like Simeone - We're such a frigid prude priiick club,

Yeah he is definitely worth the risk, but there's always that feeling if he can be as successful outside of Atletico. Like I said, it's that passion and love for them that has made him so successful. He is very attached to them, and you wonder if he can be like that with another club.

Dot do you see Gazidis bringing in a director of football and undermining his own authority?
No chance! That sort of thing will require a new CEO. I don't mind if Kroenke does a clean sweep and brings in David Gill. But thats wishful thinking.
Realistically if Gazidis can persuade Wenger to come onto the board is the only we get a new manager. The Man Utd experience is going to make Kroenke think twice of doing anything else in my opinion.

Sanchez said: “With the players we have, I think we can win the Premier League. However, we are lacking a bit of hunger, entering the field with the mentality of winning 1-0. We aren’t believing in ourselves, thinking we can be champions.
“I remember a game against Manchester United last season, before we entered the pitch, I saw my teammates with the hunger to win, and we dominated the first 20 minutes, going 2-0 up. Then, we entered with red eyes, with the hunger to win.”
this is a quote from Sanchez last night, not something you want to hear tbh.

Arsenal hiring Diego Simeone would be like the new labour project Blair, hiring.....Jeremy Corbyn, I'd be gob smacked if that ever happened! Of course if the fans were given a vote.......

He's one of the senior players in the squad, he has a responsibility to get them going as much as any other member of the team. Team being the operative word.
