Thank God they have finally done it, both for us and Arsene!

Bet ye never thought ye would see the day! In fairness better off announcing it now and getting someone else lined up so they can get transfers sorted and that with it being a wc year and shorter window

Thepoet85

Who would you lads want to take the job.

Time to see what the players are made of. A Europa league would be a fantastic way to bow out

GavRedKing

If he wins ye the EL and gets them a CL place on the back of it will be a huge send off.

Would be a great with for the players to thank him for his service too, could have a big placebo effect on the upcoming games against Atletico.

Viera replacing him I’ve heard from a good source.

It's still a sad day. I've wanted him gone for the last few seasons. As Paddy Vieira once said Wenger's greatest strength was also his greatest weakness...his trust in players.

Thanks for all the memories Arsene (hopefully there'll be one more), you revolutionised our club.

Come on now players, grow some balls and win the EL for him

sad day my backside (for me anyway) this is the happiest i have ever been since we last won the title.

He has overstayed his welcome and tarnished his legacy a bit

Spurs fan here guys, hope Arsenal pick the right person for the job. Not sure about Vierna though...

Glad to see wenger gone. Unfortunately it is 2 seasons too late. I fear for the mess he has left behind. Similar to when fergie retired. He left utd in a shambles for a few years. We need a good manager like simone and I'd say we'll be starting from scratch and get rid of the deadwood (wellbeck etc).

YEssssaaaaaaaaaaaasssss

Happy now. Feel sorry for him as he’s tarnished a huge legacy, we do owe him a huge debt of thanks though.

I find it very strange that they announced it now. I reckon it was to pre-empt a leak.

It’s actually perfect timing.

Supporters will get behind him and the team. Emirates will be full again every game.

Players need to win the Europa now if they’re worth their weight in gold. Would be an epic send off.

I can't wait to be disappointed with his replacement

Who’s sorry???

The last 10 years have been pretty miserable as an Arsenal fan. He needs a European trophy to redeem himself, so I'm very much expecting to get knocked out by Atlético.

golfball37

Arsenal will beat Atletico, they lost 3-0 the other night.

we probably will.  Madrid are a top european side. They would probably even beat man city over 2 legs

You've obviously never had to break up with someone. You know it's for the best but it's still gutting.

greendom

Yes he overstayed his welcome but he will always be a hero to me.

The good far far outweighs the bad.

Today leaves me with mixed emotions. Excited for the future but sad that it came to this.

GavRedKing

Feel good stat of the day for ye.

Wenger has won 473 PL games.

Spurs have won 420 PL games.

:pac:

It was time for a change.

But I can't help feeling sad, the best manager the club have ever had and the one of the most intellectual managers in the game. I will miss him, it is the end of an era, not just for Arsenal but also the Premier League.

It will be interesting to see what approach the new manager brings and how much freedom he has, was Wenger really that tight with cash or was it the board not willing to spend. It's going to an interesting Summer ahead.

I'm glad he announced it now. Hopefully the fans return to the stands and can give him the send off his career deserves.

smilerf

My personal preference for the job would be Jardim

Jmac24128

Conte wud also be a great choice and available

MonsterCookie

Ancelotti quoted as favourite at 6/1 - would think vieira is not experienced enough but like the guy immensely.

Allegri is at 8/1 (yes please) but so too is Brodgers (no thanks).

pudzey101

whats simeones odds we need that guy in before any of them

GavRedKing

He'll likely be gone in a few weeks alright, even an FA cup wont save him.

Could be an outside bet but I reckon he'll go either back to Juventus if Allegri goes or back to the Italy job.

MonsterCookie

Sad to see him go but glad it’s happening at the same time. It’s overdue. Really would love to see him go out in a relative high. I think this might give the team a lift going into the game against AM next week.

Royale with Cheese

Thank fúck, I genuinely thought they were going to keep this nonsense up for another year. It would be great now for him to win the Europa league in his last game, at least everyone can get behind that now and not be hoping for the team to lose.

agree , particularly second part - as an Evertonian, when he took over - Arsenal and Everton were nearly at the same level - he transformed arsenal into complete winners, up to a couple of years ago , and left us light years behind,, he revolutionised football in England - believe me football played by Arsenel today is so much more preferable to watch than what we have to endure under Big Sam -the style of football made me enjoy watching Arsenal win in comparison to the old 1-0 to the Arsenal under Graham . He will be missed. Huge figure to the game, but it was time to leave.

gandalf

I cannot express the feeling of joy and release I felt when I saw the news alert that he has announced he's going. It felt like we had won something!
