After taking a fairly neutral approach in the last few months, I think it’s finally time for Wenger to go. Here are some reasons why:
Firstly, at Arsenal right now there seems to be a similar situation to Leicester City when they sacked Ranieri. Wenger has clearly lost the dressing room which means Arsenal can’t build as a club unless they sack the Frenchman, and when I see players not tracking back and unpassionate performances, like their loss against Palace on Monday, I wonder the outburst there would be if Wenger’s awarded a new contract at the end of the season.
Reinforcing my argument, Arsenal will almost certainly not finish in the top four this season. They lie in 6th place, level on points with Everton and seven points adrift of Champions League qualification places – and only if their rivals slip up will they finish in those creditable positions. And for Wenger to have lead his team to a top four finish for every year he’s been at the club (20 years) and not do it this year would signal that he’s had his best days as a manager and Arsenal should sack him.
Lastly, there is a big split in Arsenal’s executive board and fans and this split is bad for security reasons at games and unity throughout the club. And when you see Arsenal Fan TV all that’s on is Arsenal fans ranting about Wenger. However, if Arsenal sacked Wenger, replaced him with a young new manager then they could really build as a club rather than have disagreements inside the club.
