Long overdue, he tarnished his legacy but did great things a long time ago.

Well said

Once great at bringing great players to the club. I don't know what happened to that eye for talent.

Manchester City struck oil.

beat me to it..

Hate the way the media makes managers out to be some kind of geniuses.

I'm pretty sure Brendon rogers will be the new manager

Knows the premier league, good at nurturing young talent. You hear from players who have played under his leadership and they all praise him tbh.

Tuchel - no chance he had a big bust up with our new chief scout from Dortmund
Allegri - Doesn't speak a word of English
Lowe - He's committed to be with Germany after the world cup

Happy to let brendon have a crack of the whip.

If I had a choice i'd go for benitez though

So reading around it’s rumoured that Wenger decided to step down due to the fear he may be sacked at the end of the season. Seems like Kroenke and the board were getting increasingly worried about fan attendances and actually started offering season tickets to silver and red members.

Not sure how true it is but here is the full story:

Fans staying away doesn't affect the revenue from ticket sales.

Majority of the seats at emirates are already pre sold and held by season ticket holders anyway

I'm not keen on Rodgers.

Benitez yea I'd take him.

Great man who loved the game and arsenal more than anything. Will always remember him for the beautiful football they played and not for the sad demise in the last decade.

But how come no one has mentioned Conte in the running think he would be ideal given the right backing

But yes as a toon fan I fear Rafa could be lured away sadly

The_One · 20 Apr 2018 at 21:30

i'd have conte too, I think he will be italys new manager though

The article says a record number of season ticket holders choosing to not renew, rather than people that have already paid staying away.

The_One · 20 Apr 2018 at 22:02

the articles a load of rubbish theres a MASSIVE waiting list for a season ticket, you have to pay just to be on that waiting list theres no way in hell they can then offer season tickets to silver and red level members

If people didn't renew season tickets they would easily get snapped up by people on the season ticket waiting list

Sounds like a load of rubbish. I've been on the waiting list for Silver membership for about 10 years (last time I checked a couple of years ago there were about 28k ahead of me in the queue, plus all the queue jumpers coming from junior gunners), never mind Season ticket membership (just checked about I am about position 77k in the queue, so even if every single season ticket holder didn't renew I still wouldn't get offered one).

Uh oh..

Arsenal should go balls out to get Zidane from Madrid.

dannyjo22 · 21 Apr 2018 at 08:42

They will go with whoever is most likely to be happy with the least to spend.

its not.im a red member and not even on the waiting list and got offered one

Just whacked a cheeky tenner on Rafa at 20/1.

I wouldn't be upset to see him get the job but I would love us to get Simeone. Need to instil some fight and guts back into Arsenal.

I'd rather have someone who hasn't been sullied by managing another premiership team.

Luis Enrique is the current favourite.
