Arsene Wenger: The Final Stand

Sweeping changes are expected to take place in the season that is to come. ‘ The Special One’ is set to return to Stamford Bridge. Moyes will be taking charge of the Red Devils. Pellegrini could well be handling the reigns of Manchester City. Bale is set to ensure that Spurs will endure a torrid transfer season after managing a Europa League spot. It will be earmarked as one which will witness the exhaustion of the leash of tolerance and patience for Wenger.

The Final Stand of Arsene Wenger. A trophy will change the entire landscape as it will bring the light of vindication in Wenger’s philosophy. The light at the end of the tunnel. Fresh interest by global corporations will be sparked off and a long line of sponsors will be ready for a big pay out to associate themselves with a successful club with a storied history. Conversely, failure might spark a revolution. The Board will have to face the music as the ‘Wenger Out Brigade’ will call for his head with increased clamor. The stakes have never been higher.

The stage is set. The onus and spotlight will be squarely on one man – Arsene Wenger. The final year of contract for the ‘Professor’. Major portion of the stadium debt has been repaid. Revenue from sponsorship deals, Champions League, ticket sales, merchandise sales, and the sale of star players has ensured that Wenger has been given a reported £70 Million war chest for the summer transfer window. High profile players are being linked to the club. There is a special buzz and excitement in the circles of this historic club and the expectations have been heightened. The time has come to realize the much awaited dream and Arsenal fans cannot picture anyone else holding a trophy aloft for the club than Mr. Wenger.
