Is Wenger off to Madrid? Doubt it

Real Madrid are ready to dump Jose Mourinho in the summer and have singled out to men to replace the former Chelsea boss, Joachim Low and our very own Arsene Wenger.

On Tuesday, Mourinho stated that he doesn’t know whether or not he will be Madrid’s manager come next season:

‘I don’t know if I’ll be at Real Madrid next season.’

With this in mind, Real are on the look out for a potential successor. The Spanish giants have in the past tried to lure Wenger away from the Emirates, with the latest being in 2009. However, with the Frenchman under pressure at Arsenal and some of the club’s fans calling for his head, Real might just get their man this time around.

But would Wenger really leave Arsenal if Madrid come calling?

In my opinion, I think there is only but two ways that I can see the Frenchman leaving the Gunners, this either by walking away or if the board decide to let him go. Chances of the latter happening are very slim though, but the former remains a possibility.

Wenger did admit that all plans he has currently are only short-term, and he even claimed that he will consider his future at the end of the season. Are these clear indications that he is set for Madrid? Who knows.

A mid-season renaissance looked to have put the Gunners back on track for the fourth spot, but three defeats in a row have piled up the misery on Wenger and his players. His transfer policies have come into question once again and problems are mounting on the Frenchman. Will Wenger finally walk away? He doesn’t seem to be a man that does this, but everybody has a limit.

Wenger is already one of the top-earning managers in the world so money would never be a motivation for him to leave Arsenal. However, he may feel he has done all he can for the club and seek out a new challenge, and none come greater than that of Real Madrid.

If for some reason Wenger does decide to move on, I personally believe it won’t be for Madrid as he would like to run the club the way he sees fit. He has openly declared many times in the past that he is a very big fan of PSG and the French club previously declared their interest in him. However, given the way PSG are operating now, under new manager Carlo Ancelotti, even this remains a doubt.

Will Wenger leave for Madrid in the summer?

    A look into the future

    The season has come to an end. Arsenal finish outside the top four for the first time in Arsene Wenger`s reign. The fans are beside themselve in rage. From the last few games of the season where Arsenal have been below par the knives have been out in full force. The manager has now lost the dressing room as controversial decisions has meant dropped points.

    End of season. RVP leaves to Man City. Walcott refuses to sign new contract, demands 120K a week and play as a stiker.
    The board after debating long and hard decide to invite Arsene upstairs as Director of football. Over in Spain Mourihino gets the sack even though he wins the title. His failure to beat Barcelona has come at a step price. Players question his tactics. Player power wins. He has to go.

    Arsenal fans go delirious with joy as the board announce that Morinhio has agreed to join Arsenal on a five year contract. Morinho has received assurances that he will have money to spend.

    Pre season is brilliant. Arsenal sweep all before them the new season starts with a match agains Chelesa. The stage is set for a fiery encounter. The Special one duly delivers. 2.0 to Arsenal….

    December rolls by and results are not too great. Football is drab, we lose to Stoke and Blackburn..Injuries take there toll. The Special one becomes the Arrogant one…

    Cries begin to go round the stadium. ARSENE KNOWS… BRING ARSENE BACK!!!

    The window into the future closes. Phew!!! Just a bad dream…

    Arsene Knows!!!!! Now so do we….. Lets support our manager and our team. Cos it could be worse!!!

  • The Royal Arsenal says:

    Oh yeah like the last 7 years have not been a nightmare……. Wait we sign nobody again this summer of any kind of class. Some Serbian wiz kid who excelled in a 6 on 6 pickup game. We cannot win the Emirates cup anymore because thats gone… The fall starts with the same bunch of little smug children who pout the entire game and continue to get injuries. Play formations that have no intention of putting pressure on the goal. We sit in striking distance of fourth place again but oh in the last month we battle strong for that ever elusive champions league spot and consider it another success… Take your sorry mediocrity and acceptance for fourth and shove it. Kick them all in the teeth and eat there children I say…… Bring back Storey

    Wenger should go !

  • Amr says:

    Forget Mourinho…..We only need one person at Arsenal F.C and his name is PEP GAURDIOLA!!!

  • The Royal Arsenal says:

    PEP Gaurdiola!!!!! I just had a orgasm thinking about that….

    You know that scene in V for Vendetta when the evil pm tells his cabinet that they have to remind the public ‘why they need us’ and then the news/ media start bombarding the public with reasons why they have it so great and the rest of the world is suffering from plague and riots etc etc

    Well we go through with the same nonsense every two years !

    Wenger is not going, yet these rumours always come up when ever the team/ club go through a rough patch!

    I think its propagated by the club …they are saying, keep up this behaviour and see how bad it will because we will lose wenger

    Soon, and you can mark me on this, theo will sign and the club will announce record breaking profits and then wenger say he is staying … maybe even the results will start going ok again, with some players coming back from injury

    Basically, this is showing us how scary things will be without wenger and when it all goes well again, wenger will appear as the saviour we all need.
