Arsenal managing director Keith Edelman has revealed they want Arsene Wenger to stay long-term.

 

Edelman told BBC Radio Five Live Sportsweek: "We'd like Arsene to be with the club for a very long time, but he'll have to look at what he wants to do as well.

 

"We are generating more money out of Emirates Stadium than our debt repayment.

 

"Therefore we are more profitable at Emirates than we were at Highbury and therefore we can invest more money.

 

"We will have the largest gate revenue in the UK and when our results are produced (in September) and you see the amount of cash the business has got, some of the comments that have been made over the summer are very wide of the mark.

 

"We're in very, very good financial health and we're financially very strong as a club."

 

(Gleder meg til å se de økonomiske resultatene når de blir offentliggjort.) :)

I love Arsenal too much to quit

 

It was late afternoon when the press conference finished. Arsene Wenger walked into another room, pulled on Wellington boots, a fluorescent bib and a hard hat and went outside on to the building site.

 

For the next half an hour, some of the founders of TreeHouse led him beneath the girders of their dream and clambered with him up a muddy hill to show him a panorama of their school as it rises.

 

 

He heard how these parents had fought for years, tirelessly and against the odds, to find a site and gain the planning permission to build this national centre of education for children with autism.

 

He heard how they had once been told their autistic children were a lost cause and how they had refused to accept the limitations imposed upon them.

He heard how they had proved that education could transform the lives of little boys and girls who had withdrawn from all social interaction.

 

He heard how they had proved science wrong and how they had made new science. A pioneer had found other pioneers.

 

It became even more obvious then why Wenger had helped to single out TreeHouse as the charity Arsenal have chosen to support this season.

 

The club, which rightly has an unrivalled reputation for its community and charity work, is intending to raise £250,000 to build new sporting facilities at the centre.

 

And up there on that muddy bank in Muswell Hill, north London, Wenger stood with people who had struggled obsessively to achieve their goal and sensed he was among kindred spirits.

 

When he got back inside, Wenger sat down and began to talk. He talked about humility, competitiveness, Brian Clough, Herbert Chapman, Rain Man and the horror he felt a few days ago when he realised kids had to pay to hire a football pitch in a local park.

 

He talked about the nature of obsession and the sacrifices involved in building a thing of beauty. And the theme that ran through all of it was the love of his club.

 

"When you have passion," Wenger said, "you can become isolated from the world around you and that is the danger for everybody.

 

"The pressure on all of us is to be successful in what we do and that means that in some way you have to sacrifice something because you want to be successful.

 

"Of course it's a danger for me and it's a danger for the players, it's a danger for everybody who has a passion.

 

"I believe when you have a passionate person, people around them suffer somewhere.

 

"Why? Because this person is involved too much in something. You can find that here, too.

 

"Perhaps the people who are involved in TreeHouse work so much that their family doesn't see them. There is always a price to pay." As he sat there, Wenger admitted his own obsession readily.

 

He smiled when he was reminded that he had persuaded his wife to eat out locally on his 50th birthday so he could get home early to watch a Bundesliga match on television.

 

But what Wenger exuded more than anything was the deep love for Arsenal that is about to lead him to sign a new contract.

 

"I feel that social responsibility is a part of the football club," Wenger said. "When I was educated in French football, I felt I had a responsibility only towards your fans but in England I discovered another way to see a club.

 

"It's our responsibility towards the local community and that is present in English football more than anywhere else in the world.

 

"At the start, when I went to Arsenal board meetings, I was surprised by how much the directors sensed a responsibility to the local community. I never sensed that in France.

 

"I am too much involved in the game to do this kind of charity work well but I am happy that as a club we do it and I support it every time I can."

 

It was important to him, Wenger said, that Gilberto Silva and Gael Clichy had accompanied him to the TreeHouse launch.

 

It says a lot of what you need to know about Wenger, about his liberalism and his philosophy of football, that he bridled at a comparison between the players' attendance and Clough's occasional habit of taking his team down a coal mine to remind them how lucky they were to be footballers.

 

"I am very happy that the players came out," Wenger said. "When you are 20 or 25 and you are in a privileged position, you can forget it is not like that for everybody.

 

"But I don't like the idea that you have to work for the club because you could be in the coal mines.

 

"I prefer people who realise that they can give something to other people. If you go to the coal mines, you don't give anything to anybody.

 

"You just help yourself or the manager tries to help himself by making the players scared to work in the coal mines so they play better on Sunday.

 

"But when Gilberto and Clichy come today, they give their presence to help other people. I prefer that. It makes them better people. It makes them more rounded.

 

"I feel humility is a fantastic quality. It gives the first sign to people that life doesn't stop with you. I was always very lucky with the players at Arsenal that way."

 

Wenger has stood on building sites before. He wore a hard hat when they cut the first sod up at the new training ground. He slipped on his wellies when they began work on the Emirates Stadium.

 

Much of the modern Arsenal has been built on his achievements, on his magnificent obsession with the club.

 

"The love for the club was created before I arrived," he said. "It was done by Chapman or people even before that and we maintain it in the modern world.

 

"The community work is a strong link between the eras. When the club shows that it can care about people, then people love the club."

 

One last image remains of him at TreeHouse, clambering down the muddy bank in the pouring rain, his suit sodden underneath his bib.

 

Susan Beck, the charity's director of fundraising, watched him go.

 

"He's game, Arsene, isn't he?" she said.

 

'When you have passion you can become isolated from the world around you'

Følgende sitat som er et utdrag av et Intervju med Wenger, og som er publisert i Sportinglife.com, kan vel tyde på at Wenger ser en langsiktig fremtid for seg i klubben. Artikkelen har utgangspunkt i ryktene rundt diverse aksjekjøp og følgene av disse kjøpene.

 

SITAT:

"Wenger has dismissed fears any upheaval would cloud his future at the Emirates with the Frenchman expected to finalise a new contract next week.

"I'm an employee of Arsenal who tries to pay back the club for the faith they have in me by bringing good results and success," he said.

"What is happening (in the boardroom) is nothing to do with me.

"What I'm thinking when I'm negotiating the contract is whether I have the freedom to work like I want to work.

"I always had that with David Dein and, since David has gone, I still have that.

"That is, for me, the most important thing. There will be news on the contract next week."

Wenger has told Usmanov he does not need fresh investment to make Arsenal successful.

Chelsea and Manchester United have spent heavily but Wenger is convinced his policy of developing young talent rather than making big-money signings will yield silverware.

 

"If I want to buy a player today then I have money available," he said.

 

"Maybe I'll need money in four, five or six years but that will depend on how much money the other clubs have and what the average salary is."

Nå er vi nok ganske nær en Wenger uttalelse ang sin fremtid i arsenal. Tenkte jeg skulle legge ut denne, det er et pl show før kampen borte mot Charlton sist sesong da arsenal vant 2-1 og Van Persie` super mål. Det er i forbindelse med at Wenger har vært 10 år i klubben og Dixon & Keown har en prat om magiske Wenger:

Keowns betraktninger rundt Wengers fornyelse av kontrakten. Mye vettug her. Likte særlig uttalelsen om at Wenger aldri hadde kommet på kant med noen av sine spillere. Sånn sett er det jo en himmelvid forskjell til både AF og Jose...

 

"Wenger treats all the players like adults, he always gets a good response from them and I don't think he actually fallen out with anybody who has been under his wings."

 

Nei, selv om Arsenal ikke har vunnet noe de siste par årene, og solgt mange av de største stjernene, og også fremstått som naive defensivt i perioder, så veies disse tingene opp mot Wengers positive egenskaper. At han er så trofast mot klubben, selv når det blåser som verst er jo kanskje hans aller sterkeste egenskap. Han stikker ikke av med halen mellom beina når motgangen melder seg, men møter heller utfordringen som en mann. Respekt! Og han svikter ikke sin masterplan og begynner å vakle, selv når motgangen melder seg, men jobber tålmodig videre med et langsiktig mål, der belønningen blir enda større NÅR den først kommer (for at den kommer er jeg rimelig sikker på! :P ). Tror nok mange av oss supportere har noe å lære av Wenger her ja....

 

At han trolig fornyer kontrakten i dag er sannsynligvis det beste som kan skje Arsenal nå. Det får all uro denne sommeren til å fremstå som bagateller, og vil trolig føre til at støvet legger seg, slik at vi endelig kan gå videre.

da er det offisielt! Jeg blir nesten rørt når jeg leser dette.

 

"This is the club of my life"

 

det er som om jeg skulle sagt det selv! :-|

 

At Mee og Bertie har et poeng vedrørende spillernes avhengighet til manageren er så, men det er kanskje slik fotballen er blitt?

Fantastisk!! :-|

2011 blir han i hvertfall til og han sa jo at det var mulighet for at han blir lenger også, hvis ting ligger tilrette for det. Så da får man jo håpe det også, ellers er jeg sikker på at han får en ny rolle i klubben etter det i såfall.

 

Anyways. Nå er dette i boks!! :D

Ja, dette var jo ikke ventet........??

 

...., men akkurat nå var det ingen alternativer. Det vil si alternativet ville vært en tragedie.

 

However. Dette er trolig Wengers siste kontrakt som manager. Da denne kontrakten er gått ut er leilighetene på Highbury solgt og klubben er langt på vei home free økonomisk. Da, og først da kan Wenger lene seg tilbake og si....job well done, Arsene....og da er det ikke trofene som teller først og fremst, det er klubben.

 

Den Arsenalske revolusjon regisert av Arsene Wenger og David Dein. Desverre hadde ikke DD tolmodighet til å la ting modne før neste trekk. Det var DD's første totale skivebom. Ikke at han tar feil i sak, for det gjør han ikke, men han mistet nok litt kontakten med virkeligheten på veien. Synd for ingen må være i tvil om hvem som er drivkraften i det hele. PHW og tradisjonene sørger for at ting ikke tar helt av (Leeds) og Keith Edelman er en racer på å realisere nærmest utopiske visjoner, men selve kjernen i alt har vært DD og magikeren himself Arsene Wenger. Ingenting ville være mer fantastisk enn om Arsene kunne lene seg tilbake om tre og et halvt år som vinner av Champions League med sin nye gigantklubb. DET ville være et verdig end product etter alle disse årene og en prestasjon som mangler sidestykke i fotballen.

 

HEIA ARSENE WENGER!!
