It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,727 User: 12,915	Arsenal have announced that Arsene Wenger is to leave the club at the end of the season after 22 years at the club. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43834283 What do you make of this? Who do you think will take over?

On a serious note Arsene Wenger is one of the best managers in English football history despite how recent years have been his legacy will never be forgotten. It will be interesting to see how Arsenal react to this next season. And coincidently Channel 5 are showing a programme next Monday at 10 PM about the Wenger vs Ferguson feud.

He took over a club that had long been known for its boring football and turned them into a side that was entertaining to watch. They need someone to restore their former tradition. How about Tony Pulis or Sam Allardyce?

Outside of top-flight football concerns (for whatever little I follow I consider Arsenal my preference in clubs that ostensibly have a chance to win the title) I have good and bad feelings about this. bad: That wonderful name coincidence which has always pleased me will end and Arsenal will probably end up with one of the many career-hopping managers. good: the closest thing I have to a team in the League, Exeter, will now have the longest serving League manager for however long Paul Tisdale remains there.

As long as you pronounce it with a glottal stop, there was also the time in the 1970s when Brighton were managed by Brian Clough.

WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,598 User: 88	He was a great manager, but frankly he has not evolved with the times, but that through his own arrogance or just a lack of understanding of how the game was changed since he was a key innovater. For some reason he totally changed his philosophy. I'm sure Arsenal fans will be pleased and I do think they needed a change, but success is not going to come overnight. Rodgers could work, he is a good manager but he is also severely limited and un-pragmatic. I don't think his favoured tactics are worthy of winning a league title/ Champions League. The year he almost won it with us, he completely changed everything he previously stood for.
