Arsenal: Manager Arsene Wenger looking more likely to leave the Emirates

This neither confirms nor denies whether Arsene Wenger will be leaving come the end of season. What it does though, is shed some light that most of the world is in agreement about the Gunners current situation.

Not too many nights back I released a piece called ‘this must be Arsene Wenger’s swan song‘.  When writing this Arsenal was on a massive high, so high they were flying a blimp cruising into the horizon.

Unfortunately, that blimp was shot done and popped after a short route of about five weeks by the Toon army over the weekend past. To make the loss feel a bit lighter for Arsenal fans – they took on a team who was showing similar signs of unstoppable powers.

This was the second time in their short purple-patch period, they took on a team who was at the same level as they were. The first test was the Europa League tie, when they took on AC Milan, who at the time were unbeaten since being taken over by, Gennaro Gattuso.

The second test came when they took on a side really on a lift, a lift so high they rightfully elevated themselves to a healthy 10th place in the Premier League standings. The first test was passed emphatically, and surprisingly well done by the North London club.

All the same, the Gunners should not have failed as they did over the weekend in this second test. This, considering their team on paper and their ranking in the Premier League. But when you need a team to fail – you can always count on the Emirates outfit to come through.

It seems the world feels the same way and time is up

Recent news and highly respected reporters has suggested this will ‘likely’ be the Frenchman’s last season in charge. This, including the number of rumours wide-spreading across the nation of possible replacements help motivate this debate.

Another aspect of Arsenal’s game that stands in favour of his time being out, is how badly they’ve done this campaign. The Gunners have literally declined, and have not looked as if they were changing their ways any time soon.

As said in the previous article – Wenger’s time at Arsenal has run its course and it’s time for fresh beginning. They have to stop what they doing, regroup, and start back at the beginning. A strong feeling makes me sense this post will soon change into one picking the top five possible successors, who could end up replacing him at Arsenal.

It’s been a turbulent flight for the Gunners’ fans this campaign. They the only team that’s stuck with their manager, while others have changed things up and received triumph in return, in some places.
