I was one of those calling for him to go, he is a brilliant mind and one of the greatest mangers the world has ever seen ! I kept it to football when criticising unlike other fans but I’ll hold my hands up I did overreact a lot and I was wrong. My reasons for him to go we’re our consistent capitulations, our defending, his movement in the transfer market, the lack of tactical variations when we come up against other teams in the top six. All these issues were primarily in his final 5 years at the club imo. His positives were our football, trophies, loyalty and most importantly his humility, empathy and respect for others. I respect everything he has done and I’m glad he’s at peace. #MerciArsene and thank you for your efforts.
And also the magnificent stadium, along with giving the fans the chance to see Bayern, Barcelona play there with an arguably weak team post 2011, consistently...
I was one who wanted him gone. Upon reflection his time had come, I think he had all the knowhow and competencies to make the right decisions but kept an approach that emphasized financial austerity over winning the league. For instance, he made the right calls when filling certain positions but was unable to completely balance our squad at any given time; bringing in Ozil then Sanchez but relying on Cazorla and Ramsey/Wilshere as a double pivot left our defence exposed. At some stage we relied on bellerin and Monreal on the flanks, IMAGINE!? To be fair coming second to Leicester city was a summary of our inability to meet the needs of our squad balance and depth. Don't know how much power he had in the board room but I'm liking how Mikel seems to have a way with getting funds from the board. And to be fair, the results suggest a positive trajectory for the club. He is yet to finalise his first 11 but I can see how he's setting up shop and dealing with ill will in the dressing room. Sorting out discipline is Arteta's first priority.
Arsenal should have kept him another year, thrown a shitload of money at him and said, "Go and compete with City." He deserved it. Instead he was disrespected and treated terribly. Disgusting. Look where Arsenal are now.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where results "at a given moment" matter more than "potential" or "confidence in coaches based on historical performance". Similar thing happened to Mauricio Pochettino and Claudio Ranieri. Although, they were their respective clubs for a significantly shorter time compared to Wenger, they were punching way above their weight bordering over-achievement.
He wasn’t treated terribly your opinion is misinformed. I’m an Arsenal fan and fans constructively criticised for our inability to compete and win the premier league/champions league. The criticism he faced was deserved he didn’t deserve death threats or people calling him unsavoury names. Arsenal fans consistently called out the club and manager for their deficiencies which Arsène and the board failed to address from 2005-2018. When the same mistakes are consistently repeated, you can’t complain when you are criticised for it taking place. He didn’t deserve abuse however 95\80% constructively criticised Arsène Wenger. Only a minority were abusive. Your opinion is flawed and it is extremely unfair and uncalled for you to say Arsenal treated him unfairly. That is incredibly far from the truth.
You are contradicting what he just said. It is not about having titles and being decorated. He stayed at Arsenal because of what they stood for. He doesn't believe in going out and buying players. You missed the mark my friend
He loved Arsenal too much, through a marital divorce, letting go of bigger/better coaching roles; but he was too soft and not too demanding from both the Arsenal board and players (Mesut Ozil, Walcott, Wilshere etc.)
This was your problem wenger, you refused to spend big on players hence why in you're last years you wasn't able to challenge for the premier league title.
Last time Wenger was given a lot of money to spend was when they lost 8-2 to United and it is only because of that result the transfers were allowed. Prior to that big money was spent before Abramovich joined Chelsea. He was working with financial restrictions required by the finances of the stadium for over a decade.
My role model in what I currently pursue in life.
Cannot wait for his book.
Did you get it? It wasn’t quite the tell all I expected to be
@@NoContextRDH not yet .. disappointing?

You sir, are a grade A idiot.
Hope you’re enjoying post wenger life
wise men are wise, because they recognize when they are being foolish
well done for changing your perspective

Yes we are enjoying life with our him
I really miss Wenger😞
Will always be my manager
I miss him. He had to leave eventually but we should have kept him longer.

David Dein was his ally in the board room. Arsene said when David was forced out he should have left.
Mikel Arteta to carry on Wenger's Legacy
Club died the day he left
No, his legacy will live on forever
This guy loved selling amazing players
