Speaking to Croatia daily newspaper, «Jutarnji List» Arsenal’s assistant coach, Boro Primorac:
Is Arsene Wenger nearing the end at Arsenal?
«Wenger isn’t considering leaving Arsenal. Of course it is bad to lose 5-1 in the Champions League, first in Munich and then at Emirates, even though it came against Bayern. After all, at the group stage we witnessed also such a heavy defeat. We understand fans are not happy, neither are we.»
But fans want him out!
«There are no less grateful people in football than fans and ex-players. Arsenal’s strength in the past 20 and more years has been Wenger, it's not all about results, but also business part of the club.»
Last question: So, there is no change at Arsenal?
«To my knowledge, no. However, football brings every day something new. I have no intention to move at this age, only London and Split» (second-largest city of Croatia, located on the Adriatic coast).

My favourite part of his interview. Just proves that, 20 years down the line, neither of them understand why the fans are so p/ssed off.
But if the club offer Wenger a new 2 year contract, it will be the final proof we need to show that, as a club, we are on the brink of terrible, terrible trouble. So, should such an event occur, I will back the manager to the hilt, as he will be all that is standing between where we are now, and total meltdown.

Only chance he's going is if we don't make top 4. Get top 4, and he'll definitely sign 2 years.

Sorry must've missed the 20 year period when Leyton Orient were in the Champions League.
Or maybe you were trying to be smart?
Yeah... bet that was it.
Best stick to what you're best at, fella.

Orient were a League 1 side chasing promotion and unlucky to lose out in the playoffs. Then they got a new owner who neglected the business side of the club.
3 years later, they are now looking certain for relegation to the conference and likely to go into administration.
If you want another example, how about Portsmouth? A decent premiership side, now fighting for promotion from League 2

So a League One club overspending is comparable to a CL club underinvesting?
Not quite sure how that fits in with either Danny Fiszman's or Ivan Gazidis' comments regards squad investment, but there we go...

Not sure how spending spare cash the club has will lead to us going the way of Leyton Orient tbh.
