This is the man who reportedly unearthed young gems like Auba and Dembele at reasonable prices. If he is known for unearthing young world class talent that isn’t expensive, then why are we letting him go? Does he not fit into the club’s “Self Sustaining” model? Why are we not giving this man what he wants? It makes no sense to me B.

We’re not buying any players at the moment. 
All joking aside, I do worry that we’re caught in two minds here. If the whole point was to get back into the UCL at any cost, we should have spend a lot more money this summer. Instead we bought two stopgaps, a teenager, a keeper who started the year as a backup and Torreira (good).

Even when we try to be a little bit clever about our structure, it backfires and we’re still a shower of shit. Fucking bullshit.
Hey look, the post the magical wizard Gladiator got 21 likes for laughing at, telling you all how the Emery appointment marked the saddest day for the club in a long time because it was firm evidence of us being incompetently run from the top down, was er, right.
Hope you guys learn to be less collectively cunts with the few posters here not talking shite/not self-proclaimed magical wizards/etc.
Arsenal is going to be in an ugly state for a time now, it will help if you’re not at least oblivious cunts about it and can have intelligent discussion instead of the shite that has reigned around here since the Emery signing.

It doesn’t pose well for Sven’s side given that he’s leaving another club because of a disagreement. Whilst I’d want him here, if he can’t take things on the chin so to speak, then it’s not going to work in that environment.
So what, Columbo wants to flex a bit, let him. If after a few years Sven’s recommendations aren’t being heard then think of an exit plan. It just seems so abrupt is all.
Regardless of who the manager is at this point, if this sort of shit is happening behind the scenes, we’ll get nothing done and won’t be competitive for some time.

I really hope you’re not right about this but it appears, seemingly, like we’re on that slippery slope. A manager with Wenger-like lazy performances, personnel leaving at board level and an owner who seems to be disinterested in all things Arsenal.
Even if we had a player who took games by the scruff of the neck and galvanised the others into playing better, I can only imagine this being a temporary fix. I call it the ‘Gallas effect’. Great when he started but ended up not bothering when it dawned on him that he didn’t have players of the right mentality around him. (With the exception, of course, of 07/08 but it doesn’t look like we’ll have a season like that again any time soon)

Great when someone takes on the roll of Nostradamus by telling you we are in for a tough period. People were predicting this for a number of years by holding onto Wenger.
Same Johnny Come fucking lately was openly supporting that problem as a way forward at the time.
I get other posters like reading opinions as such, but liking posts were others get called collective cunts is a bit poor.
Of course its obvious that he goes with that rhetoric as part of his agenda to marginilise on here. Still each to his own as im sure people can see through that.

This made me dribble coffee 
All the people rationalising this and saying they don’t care - fair play to you.
I genuinely feel this is a damning development. It’s indicative of a club in steep decline and a nail in the coffin as far as the future of the football club is concerned. This, more than most previous developments at the club seals it for me.
I struggle to see a single reason to be positive about Arsenal now or in the next 5-10 years. We’re witnessing our team going nowhere but south. On the pitch and off it, everything has unravelled very quickly.

This seems like a gross over exaggeration. It’s certainly not ideal for us, especially not in the middle of the season (and during a rough period) but the guy has been here for a year he’s hardly had time to make any reasonable impact and will be replaced. We literally have no idea what would have happened had he stayed and we have no idea what will happen when he goes.
People leave football clubs all the time it’s the nature of the industry. But the departure of Sven is certainly not the death knell for a wealthy North London club with a substantial global fanbase. That’s quite frankly a bit of a ridiculous suggestion.

Just rehire Wenger as director of football

He’s the one who got us into the mess.
I haven’t seen many top clubs clamouring for his signature yet.

He’s highly regarded and I think that’s for a very good reason. We aren’t privvy to what goes on behind the scenes but I think with time he’d have made some astute signings. I’m not a fan of the Leno and Sokratis signing but a year is simply not long enough to have any reasonable impact.
